life help: I left my relationship and my job because I was unhappy to the point that I had a total breakdown. - Help.com

Cheer up and don’t despair, your feelings are not felt alone, trust me.
I think we sometimes lose our grasp on what is truly important to us and have a hell of a time finding our way back.
I lost it a while back (please don’t ask me why, I don’t want to depress you) and have since slowly but surely clawed my way back.
You have to put on track what is important to you (not important to anybody else) and rebuild from there.
I spent years pleasing and being everything to everybody else, I felt like I had nothing for me, gosh that was an bad feeling.
Take one day at a time and try to surround yourself with good people (good people around you help you stay up) and focus on what you want out of life because if you can’t focus on that, you’ll never find grounding.
I find medication helps dull my anguish but it’s not a complete answer to re-growing, although it is a big help in getting a foothold back into life.
Don’t hang around people who are nasty or negative to you, life is too short to put up with that nonsense.
Try to open up and express how you feel so those around you can help or at least listen and try to understand how you feel.
Try to switch off to things that don’t affect you personally and don’t overload yourself or take things to heart.
I know it can be hard not too, but try as this will also help you stop overloading.
Above all, BE YOU FOR YOU = Be for yourself and be true to yourself.
The very best of luck to you, I hope you find inner peace.
