Something’s not right

Dark place

Dark place

I want to switch everything off....Ive really had enough now. Sensory overload all effin day and thoughts racing through my mind asif I'm starring at cars passing on a motorway. Urges are like itches. They need to be scratched. Can't help but visit the dark sides of my mind.

I know you're all probably wonder what brought me to this....I did write a paragraph out but I deleted it because I'm scared, even if it is anonymous. Let's just say life has been and is cruel.

If I sleep....I wake up and instantly don't want to be here. It is with me all day. I see really bad f*cked up things as if I can see myself in the future. I don't want to be like this and I didn't ask to be like this but I am. I don't see a future for me and the end is closing in. It doesn't matter if I am here. I have no purpose, it's like im just life's punch bag. My anxiety is high. My head hurts a lot. I can't do this and I want out....the darkness in my mind has only gotten darker. And yes it is scary because I already know what I am capable of. I have carefully thought it out.

I am getting no support and I am one of those who has/is falling though the gaps. If I believed I could get help somewhere like the hospital, I would go. But they don't want to help me and have proven that to me. And yes I've tried other places than the hospital. It's no use.

I try to read what everyone writes on their posts and I can relate to a lot of it . But because it's all so negative in my head, it isn't appropriate for me to comment. Im probably going to get banned for this but f it, what do I have to loose....

Hey @Loz_3647 Hope you are alight.

I guess many of us struggle with dark thoughts all over the planet and here on the forum. I could not see anything that would cause your post to be banned. Sometimes I do not post but just press support button, especially if I have nothing new to add or others have already responded. I guess its about trying this or that, and seeing ow it unfolds.

Take care

Hi @Loz_3647. I dont see why your post would get banned. You have not said anything wrong.

sounds like your having a really hard time.

do you see a mental health professional.

I see a psychologist once a week. I need it.

what supports do you h e in place? What things do you think could improve your life/mood?

Re: Dark place

I had a psychologist, but was going through court stuff and a lot of stress (....and still am). But I used up all the 10 sessions and have nothing left. I can't afford to pay, I can just about afford to eat and keep a roof over my head. It's f*cked. I am mentally f*cked. I had to put a complaint in with the health ombudsman about the local hospital and the community mental health team. So far nothing much has been done because they all have each other's backs and don't believe me. I can't go to the GP as they see on my notes I am linked to the community mental health and technically under a treating psychiatrist (but I've told them I don't want to link anymore - I am 'voluntary' but they keep me on their f*cking books (excuse my french...I am so frustrated) and then that stops me from accessing medications. Also, I know I have a history with dr shopping, not taking meds properly etc but this is how sh*t things have been for me. That it drove me to that....and that's exactly how I feel rn. I honestly don't know anymore. I have had periods not too long ago where I would have been fully accepting of help as I know I needed it (previously have not been well enough to fully engage properly) but now they don't want to help (even though things are a lot worse). So now what.....they don't care if I am here or not....no skin off their noses....
