Have you recently gotten clean and sober? This is a big deal! So much change and growth is happening now. The first several months of sobriety are really hard. As a person in recovery, I know how difficult it is to change everything and start over. It is so critical for you to have support and guidance while you are trying to figure out "what now?".
Does it feel like you can't control it no matter how hard you try? It's normal to feel anxious about certain things, like if you're nervous about a presentation or you're worried about a job interview. But if you feel anxious all the time, you may need help from a professional. You can find relief and learn ways to manage these feelings.
Maybe you're finding it difficult to socialize with other people and you just want to be left alone. Perhaps you feel hopeless or sad and don't understand why. It's natural to feel sad every once in a while, but when you feel overwhelmed with sadness everyday, you may be experiencing depression. Depression is a serious mental health issue and needs to be treated by a doctor or therapist.
