I am 26F and, like most of us, had a lot of challenges in my life. I do not want to go into detail, because I do not want to trigger anyone reading this.  
A few months ago I finally reached a point where everything seemed settled and perfect. I had a nice flat, I had a really good job with good income, I finally got the guy that I wanted and my mother (who was in hospital at high risk of dying) got better. I felt like finally everything was in line. Well, since I had so many things to manage and do over the last years (I studied, moved abroad for a while, moved back to my hometown, had a breakup from a really long relationship, got told that i can not have children and got diagnosed with Hashimoto) I never really had time to ask myself how I am feeling, because I always had to be functional and was used to getting my stuff done quickly, thoroughly and proper. And now that everything was so seemingly perfect it felt like a huge wave came and caught up to me. All of my suppressed emotions and fears suddenly were back. I turned into a total wreck from one day to another. I do not want to talk to my friends and family every time I feel bad, because they have all of their problems and are challenged in their own ways. I told them how I am feeling and they have been supportive, but I feel like I would bother them if I am not well in a concrete situation and ask them for help. I am embarrassed about not being strong. 3 weeks ago I decided that I need help and went to see my doctor, who gave me a long sick-note and an appointment for a therapy session. I was really scared to hand in my sick-note to my workplace, because I felt like they would exchange me if I don't function perfectly and work overtime every week. Well, they actually handed me my notice and kicked me out now. (I am sick since 3 weeks and yes - it is legal) It really got to me a lot. I feel like all my self esteem is gone. I feel ugly, I feel fat, I feel worthless and like no one could love me the way I am if I am not at least spreading positive energy like I used to do my whole life. I have to hold out for another 2 weeks until I finally have the appointment with the therapist, but I haven't slept in 3 days, can't really eat anymore and don't find joy in anything. I felt like it might help to share my story.
