Should I go to work or get help?

I've been really struggling for weeks/months now and I feel like I've hit a wall. For the first time ever I feel like hurting myself to distract from the pain.
I feel numb, lonely, my eyes are sore and I don't know what to do. I feel weak and pathetic to be honest but that doesn't stop the way I'm feeling.
DH is now in a stupor because of our lack of intimacy which is making me feel worse. I'm worried about our relationship and don't know what to do Sad

I'd go to your GP and explain how you're feeling. Are you taking any medication for this at the moment?

No not taking anything at the minute, I never have. I've had low points but always managed to pull myself round to a degree but I feel like I can't do much this time.
Got a drs appt this morning, hopefully that will help.
Thank you

I think when you feel low and stuck like this, ask for help, which is fine, a positive thing to do.
Can you talk to dh about the fact that you feel low and think you might have depression or something?
Can you book an appointment to discuss options with the GP?
you are not weak, it's strong to express yourself and seek help.

Sorry, see you have Drs appt, hope it goes well. Don't be nervous, just tell them you are low etc and what could help:)

Been to gps and they've put me on citlospam? I think it's called. Just took my first one, hoping it helps.
Nurse was lovely, I didn't feel rushed or that I was wasting his time (which is what my mind was telling me I was doing).

Hi just wondering how you are today?
Xx

Hi, thank you. I'm feeling a bit better and not as stupid for letting things get on top of me. I think it's a combination of things that have slowly got too much. Need to make a few phone calls today in regard to work which I want to get out the way but can't get in touch with one of them. Friends have all been lovely so I'm very lucky.
