I am constantly sick I get every bug have so many medical issues, I am failing at life, it is affecting everyone around me. I achieve nothing I am constantly failing, every attempt to lift myself up fails. At what point should we see the benefit in suicide rather than having to suffer everyday so other people won’t be sad?

@BluJay My daughter is my only joy we are very close, very affectionate. She is starting to notice we don’t do as much physically or go out a lot, it makes me so frustrated, I just want to be better

@Loserkiki. You weren't being insensitive. You simply asked a question.
I imagine it would be very tough after your psychologist passed away. It can take so long to find a bond and a therapist that we are comfortable with.
So it must be hard for you to not have any mental health specialists looking after you.
I'd be lost without my psychologist. We work well together.
The 18 months was mainly down to having a terribly unstable psychiatrist - then I found a good one. But he had to start at the beginning with my meds. His attitude is let's try for the lowest dose that will help. So it took a while to finally get a mood stabiliser. But that med has seemed to do the trick. I'm very relieved.
