Im never getting better!!!

Hi @Princessmolly,

Im so sorry you are not feeling the best today, Its good to hear that you have tried to get out and go for a walk with your dog, it really is a beautiful day.

Do you have someone that you can talk to about how you are feeling? I know you mentioned that talking doesn't help, but it is important that you try and keep connected to your family and friends.

Have you thought about giving Lifeline a call? on 13 11 14

Also a great service called Suicide Callback serive - 1300 659 467.

Keep looking after yourself and ask for help if you need it.

Hi @Princessmolly

I hope you're feeling a bit better. Did you manage to get some sleep this afternoon?

Im so sorry you are feeling so lost and alone today. I'm sure many people on this forum can relate to how you feel, myself included. It seems to go in a cycle for me, and at my worst i severe contact with everyone. And i dont want be here anymore. What get me through? Like you thinking of family. I come to realise that i cut out the people who can help me.

Sometimes it takes time to find the right therapist that you connect with. I know that has been the case for me. I think the other thing is there there are more types of therapy thatare very useful. Dialectical behaviour therapy. It is very practical, giving you skill to help with distress

I know how hard it is, but there is hope. Do you have a good gp you can talk to. He can help you to get the right kind of help.keep posting here. We are interested in you and how you are travelling.

Hi @Princessmolly

I'm sorry you're feeling so bad and that things aren't getting better. I can relate, when i first got really unwell (and passed through the initial 'crisis') that i would just bounce back completely and be cured... but i guess now i'm less naive in a way and know that its such a slow process of focussing on small things at a time and just managing the rest. im not sure this will be helpful for you to hear right now though. sorry!

Is there just one thing that you can focus on to help you get through tonight? It might be as simple as doing something that will keep you in the present (having a hand cream in my bag helps me - i can refocus myself putting it on in just minute and then i can smell it on my hands afterwards). Deep breathing every half an hour or hour ( I have a reminder on my phone)

I remember how my son would get really clingy and restless when i was feeling most anxious. It's not easy at all. I hope he settles and you can get to work ok. if things are getting very difficult for you there maybe let someone know that you're not well.

There are better days ahead. take care of yourself.
