HELP ME

Mental health

Hi, I really need your help. I suffer from severe anxiety and depression to the point where I took off from college because I couldn't take it anymore. I can't stop overthinking everything I say, I do, someone else says or does. I've done some really bad mistakes in the past which litterally haunt my mind today. I can't function anymore. I lay in bed all day long-nothing can bring me any joy. I cry and have panick attacks everyday and I just wanna die. A few years earlier I tried to kill myself but failed. I just can't live like that anymore. I tried accupuncture, I take natural pills, i tried hypnosis, I meditate and I listen to positive affirmations but I'm scared..so scared. I dream of killing people and killing myself. I even dream of having panick attacks. I quit contact with all of my friends. I'm scared of being around people, I'm scared I will lose it and actually end my life. Please, if you can help in any way, or just talk, I will be really grateful.

Sorry to hear what you are going through. Have you  spoken to a dr or the Samaritans about this?

You said  that you  dreamed about self harm and harming others. I was wondering if this was dwellingin your subconscious and being  manifested in your dreams.

This is somethingthat can be helped by talking to a counsellor or therapist.

You sound young and this can be be a very difficut time in terms of adjustment, worry about  exams, career, work issues, the future, renting or buying somewhere to  live, of branching out on our own perhaps etc, etc.

​We have all been through similar at one time or another so there are many people out there who can  understand your anxieties and fears.

In the meantime I would suggest looking online for relaxation tapes/videos and also  Mindfulness and meditation techniques as well as breathingexercises as these are really helpful.

Weare here for you you  are not alone.

Keep strong.

Hello,

We all go there during anxiety but ifs best to keep your relationships as they can help

Try more to over think and search for a positive.

Try making a list for what you're greatful for and do more of that. Best of luck

Hi Sara firstly let me say you are not alone, we are all here for you, anytime you need to off load, use the forum.

Secondly I really think you should go and talk to your gp, I think if you make a copy of your post from here and show it to your gp it would help him to understand exactly how you are feeling,

It sounds like you have anxiety and also severe depression which can only be helped by a professional.

You can and will come through this hun, but you have to help yourself by seeing someone that understands your illness. I applaud you for all the alternative remedies you have tried, and am 100% for alternative treatments, but sometimes we need conventional medicines as well, sometimes the two work hand in hand.

I suggest you keep on meditating as this helps to relax, but you do need more.

Please dont think of harming yourself, no matter how bleak things seem now, they will improve, and you will be stronger for it.

Please please, get the help you need, also talk to a family member or friend, explain whats happening to you, maybe ask them to come to drs with you.

Please do this and then let us know how it went.

Also in the mean time as i said before, post here whenever you need, someone will be here for you,.....,........

Sara, the most important thing to remember is you are NOT alone. There are people who love you, people who want the best for you.  You are not a burden. You are a wonderful person who deserves a great life. Lots of us have been through where you are, you can recover I promise. Can you talk to your parents? Try to see a doctor if you can. If you're struggling getting out, take really small steps and build it up.

You can message me whenever, for whatever reason, I'll be here x

Best of luck to you too!

Hi Wendy,

thank you for your concern and reply. I believe I won't harm myself again, especially when people like you give me hope that a better tomorrow will eventually come. I just need some reassurance of it, and knowing there are people here just like you and me who go or went through the same thing make me feel a little more hopeful. I do suffer from depression also, was diagnosed already twice before for it. I will keep you posted

Hi Jane,

I have an appointment next week with a therapist so I will give it a shot. It is scary to go through this but you all give me hope knowing I am not alone in it, thank you. I meditate regurarly too and today I heard that those dreams can indeed be my subconscious mind trying to deal with my problems or deepest fears. It can be a good thing, because it's the mind's way to go deep through them in order to release them and therefore eventually heal. Thanks again ^^

Just to let you know, you're not alone. I feel exactly what you're saying. Life is unfair and unfortunately we have to deal with this mental anguish on the daily. My family has given up on me and I can't hold down a job. It's so sad because the only thing I wanna do is be normal and live life. I'm just waiting for a medication that works for me so I can get on with my life.

I am glad to hear you wont hurt yourself again, and glad that I can help in some small way.

Please believe you are not alone, and that the future will be brighter, just take one day at a time, baby steps, and you will get there.

Please also get the help you deserve and need, we all need help sometimes, x
