sad&stuck

Major depression & social anxiety have been ruling my life and I feel so stuck. Lack of motivation, emotional overeating, loneliness..(my partner works nights and sleeps during the day, i have no friends & my family are either away or busy and I feel like I don't want to bother them) feelings of being worthless and hopeless, racing thoughts... I'm tired. And sad. No medication is helping and I have a support team around me (psychologist, psychiatrist, gp, mental health support worker) but I can't help but think why bother. Ive been holding on for so long and it doesn't seem to be getting better. I feel like there's only so much distracting I can do. Sorry, you probably don't want to read my depressing s*&t but thanks if you do.

Re: sad&stuck

@Former-Member I don't know. I'm still hiding in bed. I have to go to my appointment, find out what the psychologist says about the letter I wrote to him. Sit and have neuro stimulation therapy. Go to partners house. Go to supermarket. Cook dinner. It all feels too hard. I can't cope anymore I feel like I'm suffocating

@STORMGRL101 .... I can see you were looking for support last night ..... when it's late and there is nobody else around, you can tag a moderator to talk to by using the @ symbol and typing Moderator straight after it if you are on your mobile, or rerun email to the SANE team when you receive a notification.

@Former-Member is on this morning if you need a mod now .....

I am out walking, checking in occasionally, and I am happy to chat too.

Re: sad&stuck

@STORMGRL101 are you still in bed? Are you able to just think about one step at a time? What would you have to do first to make it to your appointment?

Re: sad&stuck

Thanks for your support today @Former-Member and you too @Faith-and-Hope ❤️
I am home from my appointment. It went baaad. I cried and cried. After, they put me in another room to try and calm down. I sipped some water and looked at the pictures on the wall. It was super tough but eventually I stopped crying. Now I am exhausted but still need to go to the supermarket and cook dinner before I can crash. Aaaarrrrghhh.
