Feeling like I can't carry on..

[alittlefickle]

I've been battling mental illness for 24 years. Severe agoraphobia/panic disorder, GAD, depression, PTSD... and others..

I'm really struggling.
I'm on meds.
I'm having therapy.
.. but my symptoms are getting more severe...
I'm at a loss as to how to manage this time round. I've had ups and downs before but I'm now at a point I don't want to fucking live this way anymore. I am so sick. I am alone. Apart from my therapist who I talk to once a week I don't talk to anyone about this. I'm not one to burden others with my shit.

I'm exhausted.
I CANNOT do this anymore.

I fear everything.
I fear I can't survive this time round.

Hi there,
Sorry your feeling this way. I've suffered with OCD/anxiety for over 30 years and I understand the feeling of not being able to do it all again. Over the years I've had good periods when my symptoms weren't to bad and awful times where I couldn't leave the house. Do you have periods that are better sometimes?
Regarding talking about it I'm a bit of an over sharer and tell people all that's going on but I have found that when your open about these things you'd be surprised how many other people are struggling to.
Sorry I've not been much help just know your not on your own. Xx

I'm so sorry you feel like this. I've suffered with mental health too. I doubt there is much I can say that you don't already know. I really hope you get through it.

Just to say I have liked using the Samaritans when I am really down. They can't fix anything, but if you just want to talk to someone who makes you feel like they care about you, they are brilliant. I've found counsellors are more detached. I've found there's more human connection with the Samaritans.
