Something’s not right

Is anyone around tonight? Depressed and suicidal

Is anyone around tonight? Depressed and suicidal

Hi everyone on the forums. *Admins/mods, feel free to move this to an appropriate thread if this one isn't the right place.*

I'm really down right now, in a dark place. I want to hurt myself, I'm feeling suicidal. I've never attempted or done anything in my life but I want to.

As I mentioned in one of my posts, I don't see my Psychiatrist again until March 30. Then the new GP on March 13, but I want to see my Psychiatrist more because I feel more comfortable with him.

I also mentioned in another post that the local mental health triage (yes thats what they called themselves) refuse to help me and support me, they just admit people so they won't help or tell me people/places that can. I give up.

I can't get a job, I can't afford to study and the free courses at TAFE & Uni you had to a course already & have qualifications which I don't. I can't meet people. I went to a Headspace Centre & that was bad for me, sometime last year (for a group & Psychologist).

I don't see Psychologists anymore because of bad experiences. I see my Psychiatrist on Skype because he's in Sydney & I'm in Victoria (regional sort of).

I don't know what to do, I just give up. I don't want to be here anymore and I can't stop these thoughts, it's so hard for me not to try and do something and fight the thoughts. I only have my parents but it's so hard.

I'm sorry for coming on here and venting, I know everyone has their own things to deal with. I don't want to call 000 at the moment, I'd have to discuss with my parents anyway but they know everything I go through.

I don't know if these meds are working at all or if i should up the dosage like my Psychiatrist said shortly.

I just want to hurt myself and don't want to be here. I'm so stressed and just ready for a break down. On my walk today with my dog I had a panic attack because of everything and just seeing a few people and cars drive by which gets a bit much for me as silly as that sounds, I know. And I just feel like I'm ready for a breakdown.

Yes I've spoken to Kids Helpline, eHeadspace, Beyond Blue, SANE web chat etc. I might try them now too if I can get through, I don't know.

Re: Is anyone around tonight? Depressed and suicidal

Schools do not seem to be managing as well as they should ... for all the MH probs that young people have these days. Maybe things were simpler in ye ole days ... not sure what you think the problem is ...

@Former-Member

What would you do if you forgot about feeling not good enuff ...

Re: Is anyone around tonight? Depressed and suicidal

I agree with you @Appleblossom .

I don't know, I never feel good enough for anyone or anything every day anyway

Re: Is anyone around tonight? Depressed and suicidal

Have you had any help to challenge thoughts about not being good enough? Have you heard of CBT?

@Former-Member

I am an oldie.

Tagging some other members. Hope you dont mind.

@outlander and @MDT are young.

Re: Is anyone around tonight? Depressed and suicidal

Yes I've heard of CBT. I don't see Psychologists anymore due to bad experiences, only my Psychiatrist on Skype (Telehealth) through a company called GP2U.

I've talked to @outlander and @MDT before and tagged them so all good

Re: Is anyone around tonight? Depressed and suicidal

Just saw that picture, it was lovely thank you @Appleblossom .

Also question for you all, tagging you all again sorry. I'd appreciate replies although I understand that I need to ask my Psychiatrist this myself, I'm just too anxious, and I understand people may not know the answers.

Question is, on my prescriptions (handwritten) from my Psychiatrist, there's the number for the hospital he works at on it. I've never called him or anything like that because I don't want to invade his privacy. However am I allowed to call, even pass on a message for him, just say my name, that I see him on Skype and just say important stuff so ask for suggestions, ask about meds, that kind of thing? I don't want to annoy him

Re: Is anyone around tonight? Depressed and suicidal

@Former-MemberI have had bad psych experiences too. Most of my progress has been by doing my own research and figuring out things myself. Both my parents had MI and we were put in homes etc... so I have had long relationship with MI and always had to do things by myself.

My take on the script Q is that the no is for pharmacist.

Take CareI am logging off.

Hope you get more responses.

Re: Is anyone around tonight? Depressed and suicidal

hey @Former-Member
are you feeling safe? I seen Snowie shared some good threads with some strategies to take a look at as well. Have you had a look there to see if theres anything you might find helpful tonight?

In response to: Re: Is anyone around tonight? Depressed and suicidal

Re: Is anyone around tonight? Depressed and suicidal

I'm about to head to bed @Former-Member

But I'll check in tomoz my friend

In response to: Re: Is anyone around tonight? Depressed and suicidal

Re: Is anyone around tonight? Depressed and suicidal

Thanks for your replies and care, I'm sorry to worry everyone.

@Appleblossom the number on the script is the same on Google for the hospital in general, so I assume it would be the front desk, I don't know.

@outlander I'll be okay, I'm going to try and get some sleep soon.

@MDT good night, I understand. Thanks for checking in and saying you will tomorrow
