Giving up

[ilovelucyfan]

Hi, I'm new here and I got my low. I recently quit my job because I cannot handle the anxiety of going to work everyday. I have no one to talk to as no one truly listens to what I'm saying. They give the cliche responses and then blow me off the times I actually need something. Ive been hearing voices for a while now but last night scared me because it was the first time I heard a whisper in a man's voice. I haven't been able to shake that off. I feel alone and if it weren't for my child I would have left. I tried to get help but I can't follow through due to the depression.

hi and welcome to you sorry to hear of your struggles I suffered badly in my last job after my dad died it was a contract and really difficult as I was just going through the motions becoming more depressed but thankfully I sought help.just wondering if you have a support network it really is good to talk.

Beware of the voices. I had that once before and whispers in a man's voice. This goes beyond just lucid thoughts. I ignored it and went into psychosis and was admitted for two months. It could be bipolar one with psychosis. I would do something now. Do you take meds? Any diagnosis. It can be dangerous to those around you because you are completely unaware of what you are doing and can become violent when you are not at all. Many people have hurt or killed others in psychosis. I'm not trying to scare you but if I knew was going to happen once I heard the voices I could have done something. It was a nightmare and I was violent with my mother in law who I love.

oh wow, I'm not on meds but I will definitely take care of that. The voice I heard scared me so bad that I felt paralyzed and couldn't do anything about it. It was scary

[Hidden in reply to ilovelucyfan]

I wasn't on meds either which is why it was scary. I had no reason to be hearing voices. It means something is about to give. I hope you can get help soon.

Hey Lucy,

We're here for you sweetheart, and I think you need us and probably someone professional. See if you can find a place near you that you can just walk into. I did that some years ago. The ladies there were kind, understanding, and knew what to do to help. I've heard things too. I know how scary it can be. That's why I looked for help, and it was the best thing I did. In the meantime we'll keep you company

With Love Always...AU

Thank you so much. I know I need professional help but I'm not in a financial place where I can afford help. I feel like when I do, it will be too late :/

If you are in the USA there are some free places I can tell you about. I went for seven years. Also the state psych wards even though terrible are free where you can get evaluated.

Hi

I'm sorry you are going through a rough patch.

I hear voices as well so you are not alone!

I see a therapist and a psychiatrist and they help me deal with THEM.

also I go to a hearing voices support group. Are there any around you?

Good luck hugsss

🤗💜

I had to retire early from my job because of my anxiety and depression also. It's been 3 years, I've been trying to go back to work, I've had 2 jobs and they lasted 4 and 6 days I couldn't handle it. I also Stopped therapy because I couldn't afford it anymore. When I'm able to get a job and stay, then I'll go back. Try changing therapist?

You have gotten some good advice here and you need help and support. Please know we care about you. I am praying for you. Without prayer I would be in a terrible place but I found that having a faith and practicing meditation helps. If you are able to do it. But all you need to do is say "Help me." if you can't do anything else. Keep your contacts on here.

[DreamerAdam]

I am going through the same and thinking of quitting after my contact is over in next few months.... scared about my future

I’m glad you found this group. You’ve already gotten some great advice. The consensus is you do need to seek professional help. I understand your financial situation, but as others have stated there are free assistance around, Google for your area. I have some information that may be helpful. Inbox me if you’d like it.
