I don't see the point in living anymore. I can't.
I've called helplines but tonight it's just not helped.
I've spent way too much time in hospital over the years and nothings ever helped.
I just can't anymore

It takes time @The-red-centaur .... but things will stabilise. There are other people here with the same mi as you, and they can tell you that across time, developing skills, getting into the right balance of meds, and working with their counsellor, bits and pieces of life start to hold their place better and you can begin to feel more stable.
Just keep swimming Hon, and when you can’t swim, float until you recover your strength to start swimming again.
Its not all gonna happen in one night or one week .... what you need to do now is get some sleep ....
And me too .... 😏 .... I need to listen to myself and get to bed ....
Goidnight. I hope things look a little better in the morning.

@The-red-centaur Hi The-red-centaur we both have similar issues except mine are controlled (cross fingers atm). Once the doctors get your medications right you will be a whole new The-red-centaur :). Stay positive and know this is not going to be a forever situation for you. The right medication will be found and you will be able to focus upon your wonderful painting which are so talented at.
Remember to tag me if you are feeling like you need someone to talk with. A like minded person who has been there and done that. You are definately not alone with this. Love always the pea xxx

Take some deep slow breaths @The-red-centaur. It helps to calm your nervous system.
Is there something you can do that requires your full concentration ? It can compete with these thoughts and reduce them while you are wait8ng for the staff to be un-busy ....
Can you take a shower maybe ?
Draw something ?
Listen to music through earphones ?
Go to the social threads on the forum and look up the dogs, cats, art, whatever threads ?
