sad&stuck

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.

Hi @CherryBomb

Hi @Zoe7 i see you have been having a tough time as well, thinking of you too.

The storm in my mind was so horrible I went and had a tough time in hospital. Got extremely distressed and something bad happened which caused me to stay in a bit longer. At home now and saw my psychologist today, he said to keep fighting and draw on the love from family&partner to keep going. So here I am. Now have to get my meds in a pack from the chemist, fortnghtly and my partner will be monitoring. So tired. So exhausted.

I've been wondering about you - I'm glad that you're safe, though I'm sorry to hear about how distressing things were at hosptial.

What do you have planned for this evening. You sound utterly drained. I hope you can do someting kind for yourself.

@CherryBomb I have to go back to the chemist in an hour to get meds. At the moment I am having dinner, garlic bread & soup. I think I will go to bed early tonight. Still super scared that partner will get get called in to work.

Re: sad&stuck

Getting an early night sounds like a good plan if you're feeling exhausted.

When will you find out if your partner needs to go to work?

Thanks @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope

@CherryBomb He can get called in at any time of the day/night. I just hope it will be when I am already in a deep sleep. I don't feel like I will cope well if he gets called in before then.

Re: sad&stuck

@STORMGRL101 perhaps get started on doing some things to help you unwind so you can fall asleep. Turns the lights down low, and get cosy, maybe make a hot trick.

Now, I know it's difficult, but try not to get caught up on 'if' or 'what happens'. The important thing is that it hasn't happened yet so stick with this for now. Focus on now. We'll deal with that if and when it happens.

What are you up to right now?
