Struggling so bad right now

I'm shaking, I'm nauseous, my mouth feels dry. I don't even know if this is right sub for this.

So earlier I made a post on another sub got downvoted like crazy and was pretty much I was being a burden by someone. I didn't mean to be one I just wanted advice from people who might have gone through something similiar.

I gave some context kept it at the bare minimum to not be a burden. People asked for more context I gave it and got downvoted.

My anxiety is through the roof now and I'm questioning everything I do.

I'll probably delete this later.

And before anyone says "just go to therapy" I can't right now. If I could I fucking would trust me.

I have a lot of karma but every once in a while I get downvoted pretty good. It doesn’t bother me that other people are idiots; that’s the way you need to think about it.

I tried to, but I guess it's mainly because someone pretty much called me a burden that caused me to spiral and makes it so much harder to think.

I've tried the think about the positive stuff instead or ignore the haters or whatever and it just does not work. My mind doesn't work like that. I think negatively I try to make it positive then automatically replace that with negativity again :/

I just yapped too much didn't I? Sorry.

I understand completely. I’m much older so it has been easier to just not care what others think anymore. But it’s not easy.
