I have told my doctor on numerous occasions but he just says he’s sorry I feel this way and tries to help me with my lack of sleep and says it will help lift my mood0

Hi @allisonnixon27, it can be really hard to ask for help. I imagine it's taken a lot of courage just for you to ask here, thank you for doing so. We're here to help you find support, I'm going to post some links to services where you can get help. I struggled myself with feeling like a burden to others and avoiding help, eventually I realised that people do want to help. We support each other.
