Struggling with worsening mental health and feeling unable to cope

[NellieShoe]

Give me a reason to not drive my car into a wall
life is hell
Every week seems to get worse something new comes to make life more unbearable and nothing is fixable anymore.

You will survive and your insurance premium will increase. Seriously though it sounds like you need to talk to a professional, are you able to call your gp, 111option 2, or your support worker or crisis team if you’re already known to them?

Life can be bloody hard but it can also be bloody wonderful. You need RL mental health help.

I’ve tried helping myself

life just gets worse so I must be the problem.

Not at all. You may need professional help. I was in a dreadful dark place and felt horrendous. I saw my GP who helped lead me away from that place. There is so much that can help. From therapies to practical help to medication to knowing what can lift your mood. You CAN feel better than this.

Professional help that is what ?
Waited 2 years for a few sessions on nhs. Can’t afford private.
circumstances mean I can’t change anything about my life so what’s the point

I've been where you are and it's awful. Reach out get yourself some MH help - it's hard to believe but things will get better. It might not be in one tidal wave like the movies but in little bits - you'll wake up and realise you have something you're really looking forward to that day. Or you'll take a walk and your mind will be at rest. Or you'll find a cafe and have the best damn piece of cake ever. You can get through this but everyone needs help when they are where you are ❤️

When I’m in that headspace I remind myself that emotions are temporary, you wont feel this way forever. It feels like it’s never ending when you are going through the storm, but I promise it does get better ❤️‍🩹 Are there any friends you can reach out to and let them know how you are feeling, sometimes face-to-face contact with a caring human can help alleviate some of the heaviness. Or can you try calling Samaritans? Cal 116 123

Unfortunately they are going through it themselves.
You couldn’t write how bad life has become. Every aspect of it. Nothing is fixable. There is nothing to look forward to only more heartbreak.

That isn’t true. No one experiences only heartbreak in their lives. There is light and dark for everyone.
Speak to your GP. There will be therapies but there can also be support groups, medication, mindfulness, social prescribing, reading lists and helpful podcasts. So many many small things that added together can make a big difference.

Hi OP, so sorry that you are struggling so badly at the moment. I know you don’t feel that anything can help but that is a symptom of your depression. I’ve been there and things can improve.
Firstly, would you consider some antidepressants to lift your mood which would give you more motivation to introduce some self care such as getting out in the sunlight and nature.
Secondly, have you tried phoning the Samaritans to speak about how you are feeling? Sometimes an independent and empathetic ear can help.
Thirdly, please don’t drive your car into a wall as the outcome of that is so unpredictable. You could end up badly injured and disabled which will make your life even harder than it is now.
Would it help to tell us a bit more about the particular difficulties you are facing at the moment? There are lots of kind people on this board who may be able to offer help and support. We may be just strangers on the internet but alot of us have experienced similar issues to you and we do care.
