I feel dead inside and I don’t know how much strength I have left. It’s a constant battle 😕

Hi @Gazza75 @outlander
thank you for thinking of me. I hope you are both coping.
i had appointments today and more tomorrow and I think there will be a decision if I need to go back to hospital. I’m very tired of living at the moment. I have significant physical symptoms and they’ve all been cleared physically and i don’t know how to move on. But I’m in touch with my care team. I just feel like a waste of space. People are physically sick, and im not and i should be grateful for that, but it doesn’t help me because it doesn’t go away. I’ve got that many pills to take now for all sorts of stuff but it’s not like it’ll make it better, just for the moment, but not heal it. A bit like a short acting anti anxiety medication. I’m sorry I’m so negative, I just don’t know how to move forward.

People tell me that I should think about how I would hurt people if I did something to myself. But what about me hurting, why do I have to hurt just so others don’t get hurt? I don’t get that concept and I hate myself for letting people into my life that I could hurt. I don’t want to hurt people but I don’t want to hurt. I’m tired of trying to pick myself up every single day and I don’t think I can cope with more hurt.

Hi @Shaz51 @outlander @Gazza75 @Jhaneylena
hope you have some sunshine in your day today.
its very windy here today. I’m wondering if life would be different if I just stop my meds and therapy. I feel like I’m being hand balled from one to the other and I think if I don’t change, nothing will change and they can’t help me anymore or don’t want to, I don’t know. I’ve always tried to do whatever I was told to try, and I don’t want to try anymore.
