I have been suffering from depression and anxiety on and off for a year, mainly due to personal circumstances and things I feel are out of my control. My family are fed up of giving me advice, fed up of me being miserable and they tend to avoid me as much as possible, if I try and talk to them about my problems they change the subject because they don't want to hear it.
I feel I am reaching breaking point, I haven't got a clue what to do and I don't have anyone to talk too. I feel like taking the kids and running away, not coming back but I know that won't solve anything. I hate my kids seeing me like this . Over the past 3/4 months I have self medicated with prescription drugs (pain killers) to knock me out and as a way of self harm, I have taken Vallium which I bought illegally because my GP won't prescribe me anything to help me sleep. I feel bad for doing this but I feel if I don't I won't want to be here anymore. I have been to my GP 5 times and have been prescribed various different anti depressants but they just make me feel worse and I can't handle the side effects.
Today I feel awful, I'm scared to collect my youngest child from school, scared to bring her back here to see me like this, she has sn's and relies on me to do everything for her, I have no one to help . I don't know where to get help.
