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

That bunny is beautiful thanks @Faith-and-Hope
Well after an online chat with lifeline I had the police knocking on the front and back doors and they took me to hospital. After 9 long and distressing hours in emergency, I have just got a bed and am relieved they are not sending me home. I couldn't cope living in crisis mode any longer. I hope this will help to heal some of my broken mind.

Oh @STORMGRL101, I missed your post on Friday night as I had logged off. A lot has happened since then. I'm glad @Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51 and @Former-Member were here with youm and I'm so proud of you for contacting crisis online chat, and going to hospital. It takes a lot of strength and insight to reach out like you do.

How are you feeling now?

Re: sad&stuck

Thank you for your support it means a lot @CherryBomb @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7 @Shaz51 💞❣️

I'm feeling very tired and emotional. It's taking a lot out of me to try to open up to the nurses, drs.. I know for my recovery I need to be completely honest but It's so so hard. I can't stop thinking about the events of Saturday night with the police etc and think how did I end up like this.

Re: sad&stuck

Ask for a pen and paper and start writing it down @STORMGRL101, then decide who you want to show it to or not .... it can help to put your thoughts in order and may help you to be able to speak out afterwards.

Re: sad&stuck

I was going to suggest the same thing that @Faith-and-Hope, have a go at writing your thoughts down. Perhaps just start writing it out for yourself to reflect, then as Faith-and-Hope suggested, work out what you want to share.

I know it's hard to not think about what happened on Saturday. I hope you're not feeling ashamed. If you are, please tell yourself that there is nothing to be ashamed about, @STORMGRL101 - what's more important is that your safe. That is why you are in hospital right now. You got the help you needed. This is a good thing.
