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 @Zoe7 I'm still here and struggling. I feel like an idiot and feel so so hopeless and empty.

I love Toby what a sweet face. Here is a pic of my new fur baby

You got one @STORMGRL101 - can't wait to see him/her

I've had a pretty horrible few weeks also - literally just held on a couple of times - very close to the edge! So no need for you to feel like an idiot or hopeless and empty by yourself - maybe together we can feel a little better together

Thank goodness I have my fur babies - and now you do too - yea!!!!! Nothing can beat a fur baby cuddle @STORMGRL101

Re: sad&stuck

I love my puppy he is so sweet and loving and has attached himself to me. I feel so guilty for having suicidal thoughts when he would be so confused and sad if I went away and didn't come back. I feel so empty and hopeless about my situation all the time and I feel alone in my struggle. What do I do when I've been told the best thing for me to do is DBT but I'm not ready for it and talking is too hard I get all stressed and go into a dissociative state and sometimes they call an ambulance for me. I've been obsessing over these strange and harmful thoughts I've been having and I can't tell anyone about them and my case worker is trying to help me and find other options for me but it's been 2 weeks since Iv seen her and it's all just too hard

Hi @STORMGRL101 ..... 💐💕

It's good to see you. It sure sounds like there is a lot going on that is confusing and distressing for you. I am so glad you have bought your little dog to live you and keep you company. And he is truly gorgeous .... ❣️

Re: sad&stuck

Where did I go wrong for my life to end up like this... I don't even know who I am anymore... more hospital ed visits in the past few months than I can count on my fingers. I'm so tired of it all yet i have to keep going not for the benefit of myself but the benefit of others. Today I've cried a billion tears, felt like my head would explode, wishing it all to go away, wishing I could go away, feeling alone, scared, unlovable, crazy, suicidal.
