I’ve been posting a bit on here recently about my anxiety and depression (not medicated currently).

I’ve spent the last few weeks ringing my doctors telling them it’s getting worse and I feel I need help. Been chasing them the last couple of weeks to see if they’ve made a decision on whether I can start meds but the doctor dealing with me is on holiday.

I’m not sure how much longer I can cope like this. Each day is a battle. I am starting to feel like I don’t want to be here anymore because life just doesn’t feel worth it for me anymore when I wake up feeling like this everyday. Struggling through each day til bedtime.

I feel like I’ll never get the old me back. I used to be so happy. And got lots to be happy about - partner, 3 beautiful kids. A home a car etc. But I feel numb. I feel paralysed with fear. I can’t feel anything other than sadness.

I don’t know what to do or where to turn. I’ve never felt like this in my life. I don’t want to die but I can’t carry on living like this everyday either. My kids deserve better. They need a mum like the one I used to be :(

Sorry you’re feeling like this Flowers
Can’t you speak to a different doctor?

Sorry you’re feeling like this Flowers Can’t you speak to a different doctor?
The doctor I spoke to originally had to contact cardiology doctors to see if it would be safe to start them. The other doctors can’t get access to her email so I’m just stuck at the moment

If it gets bad you can always contact your local mental health crisis team?

Sorry you're feeling this way. You are not alone. Have you taken medication before? Which one if so?

Sending hugs as I know what a sh@tstorm feeling like that is.

Hi @Vampyhooch I’m sorry you’re struggling. I have seen your posts and I have been/am going through this so I sympathise.
I would second the crisis team if you are feeling really low, failing that look if you can self - refer to your local mental health service (sometimes called IAPT) or if you are working if they have any counselling available for employees.
Is your partner supportive? Are you talking to him about how you feel? Depression can make you feel very lonely but I promise you will get though this. Sending Flowers
