So i know all the common symptoms of depression and seem to be suffering from near enough all of them. but it just gets worse and worse. my main question is
if people can relate to the feeling of numbness or your not there even feel dead. but then go to the other extreme where your mind will not stop racing. and it gets louder and louder until you are physically hurting yourself just to make it stop. is this just symptoms of depression or can it be something more serious?
Everyday hurting myself worse and worse is more appealing. drink is appealing yet doesnt do much. i guess i just want peoples thoughts on the matter and if you suffer / suffered the same feeling. Thanks
Ok , look up re-think mental illness online ASAP , ring for support / advise with some of the pertinent symptoms that bother you most at the moment . Then dependant on what they advise go from there. Stay strong , you are obviously distressed and I think need direction so this may be a place to start . Good luck x
I know how you feel. I have been down all those roads. I am still on the drinking road and yea it helps less and less. I think you should see a doctor or counselor as if you were like me, too far gone to get out of the hole alone. I was and battel falling back in it every day.
I am suffering from depression and have had it for almost 9 years. But I'm getting better now.
I think the best thing you can do is get help, as cliche as it sounds, that was the one thing that helped me the most. Talk to your GP and get in contact with a CBT therapist. Another thing, even though you may not be feeling this way I'm going to share it anyway because it's crucial to know this: these thoughts or feelings you have are never anything to be ashamed of and never believe you are alone in this. It's easy to start ruminating and believe the problem is in ourselves, or is "insanity". CBT helps to make sense of your thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and as such, helps you understand why you feel the way you do and resolve it.
Good luck! isnowdropi
