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

Thank you @outlander . I hope everyone else has some good sleep too.

I have insomnia and I have nightmares and flashbacks but lately I've been having weird dreams, some make me laugh like one I had last night.

I had a dream about young Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam (yeah I'm a fan haha) and he was climbing up this power pole that was on fire and he got a little burnt but he was okay, but then we were in the back of some car and he gave this jacket to me and that's all I remember, and he tried kissing me.

What on earth is my brain, what kind of a dream is that? Mind you that's normal compared to some I've had.

I had one a few nights ago that my Psychiatrist called me to say that he's not a psychiatrist anymore and he's becoming a baker.

LOL I can't help but laugh at them. Must be these meds. I've had some flashbacks but mostly weird dreams like this which i'd rather since I just laugh (you can all laugh too I'm not offended by it, I laugh aswell and I'm just as confused)

Morning @Former-Member. Hope today has started out OK enough after what looks to have been a rough night for you

Re: Is anyone around tonight? Depressed and suicidal

Thanks @CheerBear , I'm still down today.

I ended up speaking to Lifeline on the web chat for a bit last night

Sorry to hear that @Former-Member. Great you reached out last night.

I hope there's something that can bring some peace or comfort to your day today ❤

Re: Is anyone around tonight? Depressed and suicidal

Thanks again @CheerBear . I really don't know what to do.

I can't get any other help, just the new GP and my Psychiatrist. Don't have the GP until the 13th and my Psychiatrist until the 30th which is even further away.

I can't go to the triage as I mentioned in other posts, and there's nothing else around here for me. There's a place for youth like me but it's for people struggling with accomodation, pregnancies, etc so that's not the right place, without being harsh. Or there's places for people with disabilities which I don't fit into. That's about it apart from Headspace where I went to and that was awful for me. Oh and Wellways but there doesn't seem to be anything there that's of interest to me

Re: Is anyone around tonight? Depressed and suicidal

It sucks to be stuck like you are @Former-Member. In my experience places can be quite hit and miss. You might have an awful experience with one person one time then a really helpful experience with a different someone a different time. It's hard to try again and push through though.

What kind of help are you after? Sometimes getting very clear about that can make it easier for me to find too.

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

Re: Is anyone around tonight? Depressed and suicidal

Yeah I agree with you @CheerBear .

Well mostly just meeting people in their teens and 20s (I'm 20) would be a start, just doing activities (whatever really) and just trying to make friends.

But I was also thinking something like just going to a group and being there for each other, like sitting down and just talking out each other's problems. Something like that. I thought that's what the mental health triage would do just for support not admit people but I guess I was wrong

Anyone around tonight and want to chat, in any thread? It's fine if not, I understand. Take care all xx
