Can't stop crying, need to be calmed

I don't know what's happening other than the fact I'm crying hysterically (and have been for the last hour) and I can't stop. I don't feel like myself, and I'm not even sure what I'm sad about.

I just can't help but think about how much easier it would be if I just disappeared. I have nobody to speak too and it's terrifying me that I feel this way and have no idea what has triggered it.

Any advice of how to calm myself down would be greatly appreciated if anyone has any!!

i find talking helps ground me-and keeps me in the moment.
if you have no one in real life, you could chat here.
have you seen your gp?

I spoke to work and asked to have the day off, took the dog for a walk and slowly have felt better as the day has gone on.
No I haven't spoke to GP, was supposed to go to the pharmacy 5 days ago to get more medication but I haven't been able to bring myself to go there so currently avoiding seeing GP (which I know won't help but..)

Have someone I can see but not until Thursday, so just having to hold myself together until then I guess!Sad

Tainted, do not hesitate to speak to someone immediately if you need to, GP or A&E.

In the meantime, I find dog walking good too. Also warm drinks, warm showers/baths, deep breathing, listening to music, singing to music, yoga/stretching, playing apps on my iPad or phone - something like the Big Fish puzzle apps or The Room.

If you want to try a bit of CBT then you can find out how to do a thought record online. This might help you to get some clarity. There are CBT apps as well!
