Hi
Things are bad at the moment. I wish I could manage with everything but I don't think I can. Not sure how to live anymore,or the worth of it. I hope you are ok. Take care of yourself. Niamh x

@Niamh1 what is so hard that makes you not wanna go on? I like to believe that there is always a way out of things. That everything happens for a reason and that all we go through is because there is something we need to learn and that will make us stronger.
Don't give up!!!! send you good vibes

Living with anxiety and other mental illnesses
Suicidal thoughts, not coping, how to get treatment without carrying out my plans?

I take each day as it comes, try to have a focus for that day. Today is pretty good, but it gives me a nudge every now and again. H

Hi everybody, this is my first post. I'll try and keep it brief as poss. I was unwell 15 years ago and was sectioned twice. Diagnoses were constantly changing 'likely schizophrenia', psychotic episode, bipolar etc etc I do not have good memories of this period. I have over the last 10 years managed to complete a second degree and mostly stay in work. There have been a few ups and downs and difficult periods where I have had to take time off work, change jobs etc or stop work. I have had some major depressive episodes. I had a period last year where I became depressed and delusional/psychotic..this really scared me. I have not engaged or needed to engage with mental health services for the last 10 or so years and feel this has been the best way. However, I recently went to my GP to ask about changing my antidepressants (I came off all other meds myself) and she won't do it without me seeing a psychiatrist. I was so disappointed and am scared of getting caught up in mental health services again. Feels like things will just spiral our of my control if I do...but what happens if I don't. Sorry..it's consuming my thoughts. Thanks for any feedback. :)
