I have been battling depression and anxiety since I was a teen. Almost 35 years. A few years ago I was hospitalized for trying to commit suicide. I got better. Have been for about 7 years now. I recently have been through some traumatic issues and have been going downhill for the last year. I finally reached out for help but it won't be until January. In the meantime I'm spiraling out of control, my husband don't understand, my family don't understand. I lost my job due to me not having a handle on myself. Can someone please tell me what I can do till I can get to see the dr and get back on meds. My support system is nothing. My husband calls me crazy and tells me I have issues. We know this already. He's mentally and at times been physically abusive. I just need to be OK until I get to the drs...it feels so far away. By January they may just be having my funeral instead

Hi Roscoe78 Am sorry your family is not very supporting especially your Husband
if u been going through depression and anxiety for so many year’s your family should be understanding. Do u have any friends? Please stop beating yourself up
is not your fault that u have depression or anxiety. Exercise is great and yoga 🧘♀️ and meditation u should start eating healthy and start taking B-12 fish oil pills vitamins D or a multi vitamins drink a lot of water and try finding new hobbies to do and we always know helping others makes us feel a little better. And please don’t give up on yourself you will hurt a lot of people and just think about like this if u was feeling great for that long u can get there again here a text Criss help line 741-741 and u should checkout y’all mental health hotline where u live they should be able to help u and if u feel like u can’t go on please go to the E.R. For help. And everyday write down what you’re grateful for it helps a lot and am here for u whatever and please keep reaching out to us on this site and 💕💕💕remember you’re not alone we all in this together and we all have a story to share and remember to put your needs first and give yourself a lot of self love ❤️
Good luck sending you a hug 🤗
Thank you so much for responding. My family has never really been understanding of what this is or what I got through. They get it but they don't GET it. My husband don't get it at all on any level. I had a job in the ICU. Helping people. I couldn't get a handle on me, I cant help them. I lost my job. I am gonna be doing yoga until I get to my dr appointment. Thank you again
Working in the ICU is a stressful Job and maybe instead of looking at it a bad way maybe u do need sometime to rest and please give yourself a lot of self love u really deserve it and drink relaxing tea Am here if u need me
Thank you. I'm on the journey to self love as I type this. Its where it's all supposed to start..loving yourself? If we can do that most of our problems will end. At least that is what i hear
Welcome to the site Roscoe! Sorry to hear what you're going through. There are lots of wonderful people here and we're all ready and willing to listen. You'll find a lot of support here
Hi Roscoe. I’m sorry you are having a hard time now. The forum is here to support you during this difficult time. Please consider calling a crisis hotline if you need immediate support. I know January seems like a long way away. There is hope you will be able to see the doctor and get the help you need. You are in my thoughts
It sounds like you could have used the services of a good hospital as a respite
and for neuropsychological help. You sound like you are living in an unsafe environment
and need to consult with at the VERY least a competant social worker. The police and a judge sound like they may be in order too. Domestic violence, i.e. harassment and assault
are unacceptable.
