Don’t know why I’m posting this just cos I have nowhere to turn I guess and need to tell someone. I’ve kept it all in and I can’t do life anymore. For weeks I was feeling just meh and like life was pointless I was exhausted sleeping all the time and the moment I’d wake up I’d wanna go back to sleep. Then it got worse and I’ve completely broken down now. I turned to binge drinking and sedatives to try and feel better cos I feel so crappy. I feel alone all the time and the thing that kills me is I see everyone succeeding in life with jobs, driving cars, having families etc & I just feel alone and like a waste of space I feel my life isn’t going anywhere and I’m bloody sick of it! I’ve tried it all- therapy, distraction, my driving test is booked for next year but it’s too far away! My boyfriend recently passed and it reminded me of my shortcomings. I am living on the dole and jobless cos of my mental health and I am very angry at life I hate people and life I feel it’s so unfair. I try my best to enjoy life but my light is out. I’m lucky enough to have people like friends and family but they don’t need me and prefer other people. I have sweet FA to live for. I am a waste of space I deserved the abuse I got from my dad as a child because if my dad can do that to me then I have no hope. Plus I question if he ever did sexually abuse me because he showed me so much love and cuddles after and said all dads did it with their daughters. I look around and realise life would be great for everyone and the world itself if I snuffed it. I can’t do anymore of this. I just want to disappear. Thanks if you read and thank you more if you replied to my stupid post. I appreciate it all.

This sounds very hard OP and it may not feel like there are ways forward at the moment but I have seen some desperate situations that have been transformed.

I am sure you have been to your GP already but do make sure you keep in contact with services and take up what is offered to you.

I have seen individuals with treatment resistant depression who have trialled multiple medications with little success, and then eventually responded well to electroconvulsive therapy, for example. When it really seemed their quality of life could not improve they kept working with their GPs and clinical services and found a way through this.

Please don't give up hope for a better life for you in the future.

Hello @OneBrightAzureBiscuit,

We're so sorry you're feeling this way.

We just wanted to add some links to organisations which may be able to give you some help in real life too.

First of all, here's a link to our Mental Health resources. There are many organisations listed which can provide you with some support. If you're feeling very low, you can contact the Samaritans, any time, by emailing [email protected] or by calling 116 123.

You can also get help from a text service called Shout 85258. Its trained volunteers are available all hours of the day and night to listen and support you to get to a calmer and safe place. It's a free, confidential, anonymous service for anyone in the UK and it won’t appear on your phone bill.

And finally, you may also wish to reach out to NAPAC (National Association of People Abused in Childhood). They have a support line on 0808 801 0331
and you can also get support by email on [email protected].

Sending good wishes, OP. Take good care,

Clara
