Hi
this is my first time on this thread.
I am a single parent to 1ds. h left me 1 yr ago after 13 yrs together. i am 34.
i have suffered with depression on and off since i was around 14, when my mother left and i stayed with my dad until i went to uni. i want to beat depression, i am sick of it, i want to be happy, i feel like life is passing me by!i work Pt which helps. anyway my symptoms are these:
I feel tightness in my chest
i have panick attacks, woke up last night at 3am and was crying as i woke up, almost in my sleep
my life doesnt seem real
i feel i am trying to "keep up" all of the time
i keep depression secret, i dont talk about it
i have low self esteem, battered by my mother and h
i never feel i am good enough, even though evidence suggests otherwise
i feel judged
the other week i cut my wrist 3 times, this is the 1st time i have done it, i think it was a cry for help, not deep cuts just scratches, but the marks are still there.
i just want something to lift my mood.
singel becoming single parent, the isolation makes it feel worse
