How do I deal with this feeling of wanting to not be here?

I wouldn't do anything to harm myself but I can't get over the overwhelming urge to not be here. To go to sleep for a long period of time and emerge when things are better.

I don't want to carry on the way things are but I don't know how to get the energy to change things.

Hi Spotted.Have you done anything so far? Have you seen your GP?

Is there something specific that is dragging you down that may pass or are you dealing with things that aren't going to change?

Sparkling- I saw my gp to get signed off work. Thought that and handing my notice in would help this constant anxiety but it hasn't.

It's not something that will change anytime soon. I have no friends, am stuck somewhere I don't know with a partner I'm starting to despise.

Would you consider anti depressants?

Yes. I have been on citalopram before. I don't have any support for the weekend and cant get to the gp until monday so will be medicating with wine this weekend.

Hopefully that will stop the thoughts.

I am on Citalopram and it has really helped, so you may want to consider going back onto them if you are going through rough times again.

Do you have any DC?

Do you not find it makes you tired? I switched to taking it at night but during the day I was sooo tired. I'd be in bed asleep by 8pm.

I don't have dcs.

It did make me feel tired to start with, but I found that it enabled me to function and get on with things, The GP described it as taking the rough edges off.

I take mine in the morning.

Is your relationship with your partner beyond repair or do you feel if you can stop feeling you want to hibernate it could be worked on?
