Do you ever feel you’re in the wrong place??

I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed lately and I don’t really know where to begin, but I know I’m not feeling like myself… I feel so cranky and anxious and annoyed!

My anxiety feels quite high day to day, and sometimes I just want to hide under the covers. Which is happening more often these days - I just can’t seem to move.

My body image has gotten really bad, it’s affecting my confidence, my social life, even things like going to a friend’s wedding.
I feel like I’ve lost self-discipline and I don’t trust myself anymore, which is impacting work and dating.

I feel really responsible for my mam I worry about her being alone or something happening to her if I leave.
But at the same time, I feel really drained in our relationship, and sometimes I feel like I’m being gaslit or not heard.
I want to feel loved and accepted by my family, but I don’t feel like I fit in.

Part of me really wants to move back to Australia because I felt happier there, but I feel a lot of guilt and fear around leaving.

I think I need help understanding my thoughts, building my confidence again, and figuring out what I actually want without fear taking over.

I wish I could press pause and take it one step at a time but being under pressure in so many areas of life make me so tired and I genuinely don’t know where to go 🙈

Does anyone know what kind of therapist would be best for me to see? I have tried CBT but I didn’t get a lot from it and wonder what other forums of therapy may work for me.
