Scared of dying but feel incompatible with life.

[LEMtheoriginal]

I just can't cope with life. I can't cope with everyday problems like a normal person. Everything is a catastrophe and i live my life in dread.

I just want to sleep. I am on medication it doesnt help. Ive had more counselling than hot dinners. Its me. Im poison

I have no idea what to say other than you are worthy of a life. We all are.

Can you try alternative medication or cbd oil to try and calm you down?

Hi, LEM, I didn’t want to read and run. I’m sorry you feel this way. It sounds like you have tried a few approaches that haven’t achieved what you hoped for. I don’t know what kind of medication you are on or how long you have been taking it, but a review with your GP if it’s not helping seems useful. Some medications can worsen your mood for a while when you first start taking them. I don’t know what kind of counselling you’ve had, but lots of short-term therapy (as you will get via the NHS) and long-term therapy with someone you build a good relationship with can help a lot. Do you have someone to call to talk to tonight? I trust others will be on this thread soon to offer support too.

Sorry, that should have said ‘there is a qualitative difference between lots of short-term therapy and a longer relationship with one therapist’.

You survived so far, keep going.

LEM I know I feel like this sometimes and its hindsight that helps. I know it doesn't help when you feel this bad but you will come out of the other side. Do you have anyone with you?

OP you are worth something and each minute, hour and day you get by will get better. I would second what the pp said about an extended period of therapy. Also a review of meds. Do you have a crisis team you can contact? Sending you 💐-sorry I don’t have any more useful information at the moment. I’ll be back with some numbers of agencies either I , family members or friends have used in the past. I do hope you have someone in rl to support you. You are not poison - you don’t need to be anything other than you. Xxxx

I empathise, no answers but you are not alone

LEM, do you have a good friend or understanding DP you can talk to tonight?

Your life is worth exactly the same as everyone else’s. I understand you can’t see that right now but trust me, it’s true.

I have had similar feelings in the past & I found no better therapy than physical exercise. I know that sounds crappy but it is honestly what I need to do to keep my mental health well.

Sending you hugs & .

Thankyou - mostly im just putting one foot in front of the other. Its so draining.

Massive row with my dp because my axniety got the better of me today. I feel like i need to let him go and find someone who will treat him well.

Your Dh is with you op because he loves you. Take it a bit at a time.

How's today been?

Hi colouring - im ok. Had a coil fitted today and hysteroscopy that i have been worried sick about. All fine . So feeling a little better - how are you?

Glad you’re ok after that op. 💐

Have you felt like this for a long time? I'm just wondering if you need to change medication? I've been on citalopram for years but my Dr recently changed me to sertraline because I was still breastfeeding and I needed to up my dose. It made me feel horrendous and so much worse. I was thankfully referred to psychiatrist who put me straight back on the citalopram and things have settled down again. He's also the first Dr I've seen who doesn't see it as a negative if I have to stay on a higher dose long term in order to stay well. Would your DP go with you to the GP to offer support and back you up?

How are you doing today LEMtheorginal ? 😀

Better - thankyou for asking. Relieved about my gynae things. Do feel quite flat but im tired.

Hope you can put your feet up LEM. It's snowing here so I've taken the opportunity to cancel everything and sit on sofa with blanket and chocolate - would recommend!

I think im jealous of the snow. Def lealous of chocolate.

I think some of us just have those feelings as a basis for life LEM, I don't believe things will ever get better, we just manage better. Focus on the good and I hope the bad patch goes away quickly. What stuff do you like? Is your DP a good 'un?
