Depression with suicidal thoughts

@Hopeless I'm very sorry to hear that you're feeling so low and that you can no longer go on with life. I hope that you'll be willing to reach out to other members of the community who are also dealing with depression. Sometimes just having someone to listen is enough to help you get through another day.

How does one overcome suicidal thoughts, l feel so desperate, l have had such. a stressful few years with having to move from my home of 61 years after my parents died, l was their carer as was being forced out by my sisters and had to have a court order to have more of the estate.  Then I was told l had Parkinson disease which was a misdiagnosis but the DVLA won't believe me and that I must have a medical as l am not fit to drive.

It's the last straw.

Hello Carenity members!

@Hopeless‍ is having an extremely difficult time dealing with the consequences of a misdiagnosis, grieving and depression. Do you have any advice for getting through a period like this? Have you ever been at a similar point in your lives?

It'd be great if we could get your experiences and support each other.

Thanks, everyone and Hopeless I'm sorry that you're going through such a hard time.

Hi Hopeless, trust me my friend, your dogs would be lost without you. I also have two rescue dogs and our relationship is amazing. I suffer from depression, and have done so for over 15 years. I've had extreme lows and unbelievable highs. My emotions go through roller coasters I often feel I cannot handle. I hope you confide in myself or other like suffering people on this forum. I'm more than willing to talk to you through the message service. It genuinely does help to talk to,even complete strangers, I spoke to a complete stranger many years ago, this person helped me a great deal, he then inturn was at his lowest a year after our talk. He was going to end his life. I talked to him for days and thankfully he turned his life around enough to keep on trying. I hope this message helps you a bit. I'm here any time you need a chat.

Hello @Bigj1969‍,

Thank you for sharing your very moving experience and for reaching out to Hopeless. It's true, sometimes being able to confide in someone lifts the weight on our shoulders just enough to get through another day.

@Hopeless‍ I hope you will reach out to other forum members like Bigj1969 on the forum or in the private message system. How have you been since your last message?

Michael
