Hi. I've never written one of these before. The thing is, I have anxiety and it gets so bad that I think about killing myself to escape from it. This thought really scares me and makes my anxiety worse. I am on lots of different drugs for anxiety and depression. I want to enjoy my life but I can't.

WELLCOME how long have you been taking these meds what are they x

You're not alone. I imagine most of us on here have or had similar thoughts. I know I have but I'm determined to get through this, as I rule I don't do meds but I have sought help through talking therapies because I'm determined not to let this win. Is this something you have thought about or been offered? Don't give up on hope you can get through it.

Hi

I had this issue last week on/off.I wasn't t really suicidal but I had thoughts about it.my psychologist said is because I want to escape.find the quickest solution to my anxiety.and it makes sense!but we have to be patient and kind to ourselves.there s help and support out there,or with this website.it might takes time to get better cause it s a long journey but @ baby steps and therapies we might learn how to deal with anxiety and have a better life!hugs

Oh everyone, I am so sorry! You have been writing really supportive things and I haven't even been back in touch with you. Thank you so much for your support. Things don't seem to be getting much better but I'm probably being hard on myself. Hugs and best wishes to all of you. XXXXX
