Re: My life has reached rock bottom

@Former-Member @Losinghope. I call it the vortex of depression. It's like a tornado and I know it's there. Initially it's like I'm being grabbed by the outside of the vortex. When I'm here, I can still fight my way out of it myself. But once it's sucked me into the Centre - that's when I'm starting to get suicidal thoughts. And a chat with my gp or psychologist doesn't seem to help.
That's when I book into hospital. I know I am no longer able to fight my depression myself. I need a place where I feel safe. As the suicidal thoughts scare me. So I feel safe in hospital. I feel like I can breathe easier in there.
Si last year and this year - I went to hospital.
Is this what you were asking for @Former-Member?

hello @utopia

thanks, yes just for losinghope to have a different slant, version.

sometimes people misunderstand me and with delicate feelings I like to feel that I have treated the person with great respect and tenderness that they deserve.

I hope you find our insights of some help.

keep writing xx

You have been amazingly supportive of me @Former-Member during my latest / current crisis. Your words are gentle. But at the same time you have a very clear understanding of what we are talking about. An empathy for our situation without judgment. That is a precious gift. Thank you
