I am at rock bottom

I have completely had enough. I don't want to have to go through 'life' managing depression. It isn't really a life.

My depression used to come every couple of months, now it never really leaves - I get a couple of good days a month where I feel on top of the world, I am positive, feel like its possibly finally gone, optimistic, make plans and feel free. Then without a doubt it comes back and I spend most hours of the day wishing I would drop dead, struggling not to call in sick, cry, shout at people, or drive into brick walls. I am moody, quiet, irritable because I spend all day faking being normal and trying to get through it. I have no one to talk to, tried that and they either didn't understand or I could tell that I made them uncomfortable.

After years of avoidance I finally told my GP who prescribed ADs but I hated the side effects of them and immediately stopped after a couple of days. I have tried counselling. I feel like DM despises me and must wish I would either stop being so miserable or fuck off out of her life. I feel horrifically guilty. She would be better without me. Family think I'm odd. Friends too because my moods are so up and down. I do not see a future because my moods are simple not stable enough to sustain anything e.g. a relationship.

I absolutely hate myself. Even sustaining exercise and eating well does not keep this at bay. I cannot get round to boxing day 2019 still feeling like this. I am completely broken and I feel so so alone.

Hello OP,

We're really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website, or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

We are going to move this thread to the Mental Health section shortly. Flowers
