I'm absolutely rock bottom but nobody seems to listen. How can I make them take it seriously?

[marriedtoboris]

I'm as low as I could be. I fantasise about ending it all. There mist be a shred of the 'old me' left because I know I can't cause that sort of pain to my family. I am desperate though. I've said plenty to my husband but he just seems to play it down. I've always had a bit if depression so maybe he's just used to it. But now it is worse than ever, I can always pull myself out if it but this time I'm drowning. I've told my parents I feel rock bottom but again the seem play it didn't/try to pacify me. I want to shout in their faces HELP ME BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. I know they'd want to help if they knew how bad I was but I don't seem to be able to articulate it. It's like they are all deaf and blind to it. I have a baby and a toddler and I can't cope. Sorry to ramble on. Has anyone else ever felt like this?

I would call your gp. There’s help for feeling like this, even with the lockdown. They can talk to you on the phone or even invite to to the practice if they’re seeing patients like that.

Don’t suffer alone.

You need to tell them op. ‘I need your help’.

Please ask for help OP. My friend has not been able to get out of bed for the past 3 weeks because of severe depression. But she opened up and was honest to those around her which resulted in the Crisis Team coming out to her address and she’s now in meds and slowly feeling better

make it very clear - I know it's so hard not to automatically try to minimise things

tell them you are sucidal and need help - keep repeating that til it sinks in for them

If that's what it takes then shout in their face- help them see how bad it is and how desperate you are!

Call your GP, call or mail Samaritans, it can be anonymous and they aren't there to judge you. There are even text services, for you to talk to- just so you know someone is there.

Tell your husband you have been thinking those thoughts, tell him he needs to support you- if he needs to take some time off to give you a break and get your head in order then make him do it! Money will return but it sounds like you're near breaking point and need action now!

Tell your family.

Do not suffer in silence

Know you're not alone

Know this WILL pass.

I've been ( nearly ) there and got through the blackness.

Think of your darling children- they need you x

How are you feeling?

Call your GP.

My parents were useless when I had PND they didn't want to know. The doctor helped s lot.

Good luck.
