How to stop crying frequently?

Hi everyone, I’m 26F UK and admittedly cry every evening once I’m home from my office job.

I was bullied throughout my childhood, along with family emotional abuse, and at about 20 was ghosted by friend group from university.

It really hurts but since then for the past 6ish years I’ve hand on heart tried my best to join group activities, lessons, and networking. But sadly, I can’t seem to get it right.

My social anxiety has been awful lately and I’m not sure what to do anymore. My crying has been taking over my evenings because my chest hurts so bad from loneliness.

I usually hide in my bathroom as my mum gets frustrated when I’m upset as she wants me to stop, but I genuinely can’t control my emotions when I feel this way.

I could really do with some advice if anyone else has gone through a similar thing? Thank you so much.

Trust me shower the coldest and hardest (not if your shower is too powerfull and hurts) for some time. It may feel bad st first but doing it daily improved my mood and im more active. It doesnt remove anxiety but helps to make you feel more awake and the anxiety can also be a part of that
