Suicidal due to extreme depression and anxiety

[Booblet]

Please help. I am really ill at the moment with my mental health.

This is the 10th year of perimenopause. But the last 12 months have been horrendous.

I can't leave the house. I cry most of the time. I have no real friends. My partner does try to help but he doesn't display much emotion. I stay in bed most of the day and can't sleep at night.

I am 59 yrs old. Have severe Excema really bad last few years), I am taking 300 mg of Venlafaxine - waiting for Pycharatrist app who is going to change anti-depressant (due to being on them far too long).

Started with hrt 2 months ago... Not really helping.

Have adrenal fatigue (seen Dr P) who examined me. Just started medication again, but can't get up in morning so it's difficult to take later on, hence, keeps me awake.

Have M. E. Take B complex with folate (to keep folate high level.

Take b12 once x 8 weeks. BUT have purchased b12 for injection administration, not started yet.

I am 5 stone over weight. Have severe arthritis in both knees. Can't walk for too long. And I love walking.

I am suicidal..... And so, so depressed and very anxious. I hate this life. I have been adviced to try LDN but can't afford it. Not working. I am crying typing this. Can't cope. Am going back to bed were I will cry again. Its sunshining and I can't go out. 2.10 PM and I'm still in my nighty.

Please, please help. I can't cope. I'm getting worse.

Though I don't understand all of the physical and mental health challenges you are dealing with at the moment, I want you to know that there are people here that care about what you are experiencing and feeling. I am sorry that you are feeling at such a breaking point today. Were you able to talk with your partner about your feelings today and receive any support? I am glad that you reached out through this forum for support as well.

You mention that you are waiting for your next appointment. When are you scheduled to see the doctor? Is your health care being managed by just this doctor or do you have a few doctors working together for your care?

Sorry to read you aren't doing well. Have you had your thyroid checked also? I know adrenal fatigue can be a sign of thyroid issues. Are you being treated for your perimenopause? You might want to check out the Thyroid UK forum on healthunlocked for info and support. Please take care of yourself and keep searching for help and answers.
