I'm really struggling

I'm so down. I finding each day harder and harder to fight. I'm exhausted, I'm tired of the struggle, or putting one foot in front of the other.

I am so messed up in my head, I get so confused by my thoughts, they go round and round and get jumbled up. I find myself going through the day and detaching from everything around me. My family deserve so much more than what I can give them.

I keep having suicidal thoughts and SH urges. I need some release. I'm hurting so much. I don't know what to do anymore.

I feel worse. Like I've opened the lid on a can of worms.

Thank you Pare.

Spoken to GP and we are altering the dosage of my meds to see if that will help.

I feel a little better today. Still emailing the Samaritans which is helping to clarify my thoughts somewhat.

Get some rest. When I'm really bad I find breaking the day into small chunks helps. So at the moment I tell myself I just have to get through getting up and having a shower. Then I tell myself I just have to get dressed. Then just drive to work etc. This makes it doable, whereas thinking about doing a whole day is terrifying.

citalopram made me so tired and depressed at the end. I felt like I was 10 years older.

Ive only had it 3 years. Although I am thinking of coming off both AD's because I don't want them anymore.

I'm feeling so down today. I desperately want to cut.
