I need help

[JVasquez4l]

I’ve never done this kind of thing but lately I feel anxious my stomach hurts all the time.

I have trouble sleeping.

I feel worthless and I have thoughts of suicide even though I won’t do anything.

Man you should have professional help when thinking about suicide. It really saddens me to hear I hope you can call a hotline or get set up with a counselor. If you keep having those thoughts go to the emergency room at the hospital let them know how you're feeling.

Thank you I’ve never thought of going to the hospital. I’m just anxious to be in public. My anxiety has gotten really bad to where I can’t be in public for very long.

Keep you trips in public short. There is nothing wrong with that. Don't push yourself to the point of anxiety that can lead to panic.

I'm not sure if you work or have commitments like that. If so, take a quick break and do some deep breathing. Pull yourself back and repeat you will be ok.

Hi. I understand, I've been there. 1st, if your suicidal, Goggle 'Suicide Prevention'. They've been in your place before. Sometimes just having a talk with someone who understands will give you some relief. Suicide is not the answer, so please don't. There's also MHA = Mental Health America, click on the 'Find Help' tab. There are other websites or places to call to get help.If you need to, go to the Emergency Room. They deal with this situation every day (yes, every day!). And don't feel bad or weak if you need to go to the ER-that's part of the reason they are there. To help those in this situation

Stay away from the News channels, politics, or anything else that will aggravate the state you're in.

Stay away from people who make you feel worse.

Can you make an appointment to see your family Dr or a Mental Health Pro? If you can't do it, do you have a family member or trusted friend who could make the call or help you to call? Sometimes it's hard to find the right person, because they don't know how to respond or say. And again, by making the appointment may bring you some relief.

Try to find something to distract yourself from whatever (or who ever) has you feeling so bad. Music, a DVD, a book. I know exercise is the last thing you want do, or have the energy for, but try going for a walk. Go to a 24 hour place like Walmart, Walgreens, etc, just to walk around, and give yourself a different scene to look at. Something that will get your mind to calm down.

I know this next part is hard to see right now because you're in so much pain, but sometime later in life, a family member, friend, co-worker, someone will need help to get them through their crappy time. Part of the reason we're here on earth is to learn, and to able to empathize with others with whatever they're dealing with.

Most of all, Never Give Up. You're going to keep trying until you find the right person, Doctor, Rx that will do you a lot of good. Keep trying-relief is out there.

Right now, you may not believe it, but it will get better.

I wish you relief, peace of mind, contentment (and yes, even happiness).

Again - remember, Never Give Up! Keep trying until you find the right person, Doctor, Rx that will improve your life.

Thank you I talked to a family friend shortly after I posted this here. It’s been hard, I lost my mother the only parent I have this year.

A lot has happened, my career, love life, friendships everything has taken such a toll on me and I just haven’t found the path to take to get better from it all. I’m just trying to keep going and it’s so hard because I feel alone. I cried and cried earlier and I’m just wanting a change.

[Dolphin14 in reply to JVasquez4l]

I'm so sorry for your loss. 🐬

[FindingTheAnswers]

Sorry to hear about you losing your Mother. Obviously, that's a lot right there.

I don't know why, but there are times where it just feels like life is ganging up on you. You just keep getting hammered on, day after day.

If crying brings you some relief, that's ok. Sometimes crying can be like getting it out of your system. If you can't stop crying, then that's another reason to go for help.

[FindingTheAnswers]

One more thing. Whatever Professional you go to see, if they make you feel worse, don't get 'IT', or something doesn't feel right - go see someone else.

Thank you for the tips

I think you’ve gotten some really good advice so far so I don’t have a lot to add. But I did want you to know that I just prayed specifically for you and what you’re going through.

It sounds like this has been a really hard year for you. I’m also really glad you reached out here and to people around you. That’s such a great step. If you are open to counseling, I can send you the number for an organization that helped me find a really great counselor when I needed it. It really changed my life.
