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.

Feeling bad. Overwhelmed with negative feelings. Guilty. Alone. It wasn't meant to turn out like this. It's all too hard

Hi @STORMGRL101,

Sorry things are so hard. You've had a very big day.

How did your appointments go?

What are you up to tonight?

Re: sad&stuck

@CherryBomb I didnt get to say what I wanted to the psychologist and then I just felt empty during the therapy. I then had a pregnancy scare which looks like a negative. I told myself I would give this therapy a go (before I do anything) especially since my parents are spending so much money on it but I just cant get rid of these bad thoughts. I don't feel like colouring in, or watching anything. I don't know what to do.

Can you play some music @STORMGRL101 ? Maybe look around the forums some more and chat to other people here ?

Would you like to be tagged into some other threads ?

Re: sad&stuck

@STORMGRL101 you mentioned writing helps. Is that something that might be useful now?

Sometimes writing out what you're feeling - naming your emotions - can be helpful.

What do you think?

@Faith-and-Hope I will keep looking around, although I am unsure If im up to posting anywhere else. I should put some music on.

@CherryBomb I am alone tonight all night because my partner is on night shift. I'm scared I may SH tonight. I'm tired of feeling so bad.

Thanks @Shaz51

Re: sad&stuck

@STORMGRL101 seems like the bad feelings are overwhelming.

In the past, when you have felt like this, what have you done to cope?

You might like to take a look in the Coping Box. There are some tools and strategies in there that might be useful.

If things get too much, please don't hesitate to contact crisis support:

Lifeline: 13 11 14 or Crisis Chat
Suicide call back service: 1300 659 467 or online counselling
If in immediate danger: 000

Re: sad&stuck

@CherryBomb Lately I have not been coping well. Usually I can watch something and play on my phone but now I find it really hard to distract myself. The thoughts & feelings are too big and scary. I think I'm going to have to take some extra medication even though I'll be more exhausted when I have to get up tomorrow.
