What to do when there is no way out?

[onetwothreex]

I have a huge issue in my life right now and it's something that is not going to go away ever. I would say there are 3 solutions, 2 of these are up to me, the other solution is not up to me unfortunately. Both my solutions, will make me terribly unhappy and I don't really think I can live with it? The other solution is 99% impossible so won't happen.
So what do you do when you feel like there is no way out? What do you do when you feel like you are just not strong enough to carry on?

Talk to someone. A colleague, mentor, GP, counsellor, MN, family, friends ...
Talk and share your dilemma. People will want to help you solve this. You are not alone.

You have to choose the least bad of your two decisions; at least then you will have made the choice and you don't have the issue hanging over your head.

Over thinking it is probably causing you more mental pain than taking the bull by the horns and getting on with it.

You will be strong enough to cope. Just don't bottle it up, scream and shout if you need to and make sure you have a sympathetic ear to bend. It sounds as if a visit to your GP and a recommendation for some counselling would be in order.

I am alone though and no one can help me, not with this

Can you talk it through on here? You will get some really good advice.

Someone, somewhere can and will help you. I expect you think your situation is unique... we all do that... but I am sure others have been in the same position and would help you.

You are not alone. You have a GP and he/she will find you the right counselling. You can also speak to the Samaritans at any time, they are not only for the suicidal but are there to listen without judging.

You’re in a predicament but these are phases that pass in time.
Can you take a moment to sit quietly with your thoughts and envisage yourself in a years time.
What did you do, how did it pan out. Was it the right thing to do. How have things changed. For the good or not.
Feel free to message me if you’d rather chat in private x x x

How are you feeling OP?

It it's a private matter and you'd like to discuss it, you can ask MMHQ to move your thread 'to the other place' so it's more private and won't appear on internet searches.
