Want to curl up in a ball and disappear

I am really struggling with my anxiety and my thoughts. The urge to overdose is getting stronger again. I struggled end of last week but managed to feel more positive over the weekend, however today has really gone down hill.
I am completely overwhelmed by everything, too many changes in a short space of time and panicking about those but also about the thoughts in my head
I’ve reached out to mh services without much success so could just do with talking and trying to take my mind off things as I don’t know what else to do
Feel completely trapped and the thoughts are completely overwhelming, I’m scared. Other NHS avenues are not an option as ive been her so many time’s so know from experience they don’t help and I am treated like I don’t deserve their time or support so please don’t suggest that, I just need to be kept busy

Sorry things are rough right now.
Can you make or bake something? Take a walk?

Thanks for the response, I have now managed to eat something but nothing else. My anxiety was so bad when I posted I was literally paralysed, I couldn’t do anything

Struggling to control my thoughts and my distractions aren’t enough

Hello OP, we are 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. Flowers.
