Can you speak to an out of hours GP? Can you think of anything that might have triggered this or has it totally taken you by surprise? Are you on your own & where are you?
Sorry, don't mean to bombard you with questions, just trying to help.

i've felt stressed for the last few months but thought i had coped. yesterday my daughters argued and i just lost it. i feel as though i cannot think straight or rationalise my thoughts. i am alone and will do anything to make the pain go away

Although what your feeling feels utterly unbearable it is more common than you would think. Your not going mad or loosing the plot but you are struggling to cope. It's so hard when your thoughts take over.

This will pass eventually even though it feels impossible it is not forever. You are not on your own, you have us to talk it through with.

TherapeuticVino · 06/08/2012 20:44

You need to talk to someone. Do you have anyone you can call? GP? It sounds like you need someone to help you right now so you can work out how you can start coping again. We're here.

i can't carry on anymore, sorry i shouldn't have posted this thread

TherapeuticVino · 06/08/2012 20:49

YES YOU CAN. We're here. This is temporary I promise you but you DO need some help to get through this worst bleak bit to start moving upwards again. Could you call the samaritans/ they have heard from people feeling like you millions of times and I promise you they can actually help.

cupcake78 · 06/08/2012 20:49

You can carry on your just finding it really really hard because it seems so unbearable. You should have posted and you did it because you know you need help. Well done your right you do need help.

You sound very stressed anxious and panicky this can make your sensible head switch off. To make it work again you need to work on yourself and take some time out.

TherapeuticVino · 06/08/2012 20:52

You are not alone. I am right here ready to listen :)

duck94 · 06/08/2012 20:52

Please. phone the samaritans now. they WILL help you.

duck94 · 06/08/2012 20:53

You are not alone.

TherapeuticVino · 06/08/2012 20:53

i can't speak to anyone, i have no one. i don't know how to deal with anything

OP posts:
MrsHelsBels74 · 06/08/2012 21:00

Believe me, I have felt this way, tried suicide twice, been hospitalised, and it does get better. You did the right thing posting this thread, you can talk to us if no-one else, but if you don't want to then please just keep us posted on how you are.

Where are your children now?

I second the recommendation to call The Samaritans, they can help, I have phoned them many times, it's what they are there for.

TherapeuticVino · 06/08/2012 21:00

That's not true - you told us you have daughters, and I'm SURE they care about you, and we are here. MNers are brilliant and problem solving - tell u what's going on and what you need to deal with and I know you'll get help.

MrsHelsBels74 · 06/08/2012 21:04

I know it all seems overwhelming, I remember days when I was in tears just trying to get dressed in the morning, even tiny decisions seem like life or death ones.

You are not alone, you have daughters & do you think we'd be here posting & trying to help if we didn't care?

If you need to, get yourself to A&E, someone there will help you. Whereabouts are you?

i just can't stop crying and thinking i wish i was dead. Nothing seems real anymore

Urgh I have been there and it's SHIT. You are going to be ok, and you will be very glad you are alive again but you need some help getting through this bit (I know, I did!). Honestly, you need to take 5 deep breaths and call the samaritans. They will honestly honestly help you.

MrsHelsBels74 · 06/08/2012 21:19

If you phone the Samaritans they are trained to help you focus & draw information out of you. Please call them.

TherapeuticVino · 06/08/2012 21:28

Or you can email the Samaritans : [email protected].

Please, please do. They WILL help you and you WILL feel better x

Lucyellensmum99 · 06/08/2012 21:33

Honey, it sounds like you are having an anxiety attack call the samaritans, please. Is there ANYONE who can be with you just now? Whats happened?

Concentrate on your breathing, it will make you less scared - deep proper breathes, it will help you to calm down. Slow your breathing and just think about that. When you feel calmer, pick up that phone and talk to the samaritans. That is what you can do tonight, now, to help - you can talk to us, we are all here, many of us have been where you are now, we understand. Tomrrow, go to see your GP, they will be able to help. You don't have to feel like this

Olympicpark · 06/08/2012 21:59

hope have had really bad anxiety in the past but prob not as bad as you are feeling now. I hope you can give someone a ring to come and help you, a friend, mum, neighbour? You do need to get in touch with someone, so they can help you to calm down. Are your children at home now? Do they know how you feel? Can you pick up the phone, try it and see how you feel, who do you think can come and see you now? X
