All I can think about is ending it

Every minute of every day I am fighting against this all consuming urge to buy a bottle of vodka and swallow down all if my painkillers (when I have a cupboard full of controlled medications this would easily finish me off).

My cpn and psychiatrist have drawn up a plan that includes DH locking away said medication and only leaving out a days worth at a time. He's decided he doesn't need to do this and they're over reacting. This to me says he doesn't take how I'm feeling seriously, that he sees this all as a bit of a joke. It doesn't help my cpn spends our sessions talking to me about her problems.

I'm sick of pain and I'm sick of pain having taken my entire life away from me. I have got no one to talk to who will take me seriously or who won't turn it onto them.

If I go to the medicine cabinet I'm not sure if I'll take them or flush them down the loo to stop me taking them. I'm at desperation stakes and don't know what to do. If I ask for help I'll be signed off. If I'm signed off ill lose my job. I'm lost. I'm tired. I'm really really tired.

So sorry you are feeling so bad - assume you mean emotional pain (depression?) which I know from personal experience is an absolute torment and suicidal thoughts are very common and on my bad days (which are many) they are with me constantly. BUT can I say that contrary to popular belief overdosing on prescribed meds and alcohol is not going to have the desired effect. It is one of the most "unsuccessful" methods of suicide and usually leaves people with serious physical illnesses.

Are you really fit to be working if you feel so bad......please think about taking time off and resting - I know that won't stop the pain but at least you can withdraw from the world for a while (under the duvet) maybe?

I'm in a lot of physical pain. It's ruined my life, well, I don't have one anymore. I don't feel like I'm a person anymore I have nothing and yet everyone still wants something from me.

I have a crisis card from the hospital but they won't be interested.

Sorry I thought you meant mental illness as you've posted here and mentioned a CPN and psychiatrist. What's a crisis card? Assume something you can use to go to A & E if you're desperate, but agree that seldom does any good. The NHS is on the brink of collapse I reckon. Are you in the UK?

I have depression and anxiety issues wrapped up in my pain issues. Sorry I should have been clearer.

A crisis card is a list of numbers to call in a MH crisis. No one ever bloody answers

Hi , I've just registered on here because I've been struggling myself lately. I have PND but its a lot more under control than yours seems to be. I just want to check you're ok?
