Hurting

[Cat26538]

I’ve had a pretty bad day. All I wanna do is cut. I’m giving up. I wanna die. I really hate myself.

what happened? just a bad day or a specific moment in the day?

[Cat26538 in reply to sparkle314]

Just a bad day. I feel numb. Having excruciating panic attacks. Can’t breathe can’t sleep can’t eat. Shaking so bad. Can’t sit still. Can’t calm down. Feel like I’m gonna faint

[sparkle314 in reply to Cat26538]

okay, this is gonna sound dumb but just take a second and lay on the floor with your arms and legs spread out like and x, stare at the ceiling and relax your entire body and mind just letting everything go, shut off all the electronics and just listen to the white noise till you feel calm, tell yourself that in this moment everything is gonna be okay.

Talk to me, Cat. What's giving you so much pain?

[Cat26538 in reply to jkl5500]

Can’t seem to get past this depression. I feel like I’m doomed and never gonna be happy again

That's what depression does to the brain. Are you getting treatment at this time?

[Cat26538 in reply to jkl5500]

I’m trying to see a counselor. Other than that I take antidepressants and anti anxiety meds

[jkl5500 in reply to Cat26538]

Please be sure to get therapy with a counselor or psychiatrist ASAP. I assume your regular doctor prescribed the meds you're taking now.

Emptiness and hopelessness are just standard symptoms of depression. They SEEM real, but they're not. It's just your brain chemistry that needs to be rebalanced. In other words, it's just an illness. Always remember this.

I’m working on trying to get ahold of my psychiatrist office to get into see a counselor.

[jkl5500 in reply to Cat26538]

[Cat26538 in reply to jkl5500]

Thank you

[Cat26538]

I’m seriously considering cutting

[jkl5500]

Why don't you try deep breathing instead?
