hi Struggle girl, you sound like your are in some turmoil.

you can share here, it is anonymous as you are writing under a user-name, but only when you feel ready to.

have you thought of calling a helpline? maybe the Samaritans? - they are there every day, every hour, for anyone who needs them; not just for suicides.

they will listen and not judge and you don't need to give them your real name.

I'm off to bed now but will check back tomorrow pm to see if you've been back on.

I hope it helps to know your post was read, many people will probably have read it, but not everyone feels able to answer.

I am proud of you for reaching out and posting. I am hamble and welcome you to this friendly, supportive site.

Thank you so much for supporting me but i tried to call a helpline but i just couldn't

[deejames]

I agree. I hope you have phoned Samaritains by now. They have helped me by just being there, any time for as long as you need. Don't suffer alone

[Struggle_girl in reply to deejames]

I want to talk about it i feel like i need to but i can't i always say i'm ready and then something stops me

[deejames in reply to Struggle_girl]

Maybe just talking about why you don't feel ready will be a good first step.

Hello Struggle

How can we help you ??

You are not unusual with your concerns. If you are so concerned and worried, go and see your GP.

We are here to listen, if you are in any form of turmoil phone 111, or Samaritans.

Help me by giving me tips : how to talk about it

[Hidden in reply to Struggle_girl]

At this time you do really need to see your GP and discuss why you feel he way you do, we do not know you or the problems you have. The way you can open up is depended on those around you and the circumstances you find yourself in

We here are good listeners and may be able to advise you on some ways you can possibly control situation you find yourself in. Sometimes your feelings may require a short period to sort themselves out. If there has been a death or family break up all may need patience and can take longer.

Sometimes when we are depressed some one not associated with you will be more beneficial. If the GP feels you need talking therapy an appointment and course of treatment will be arranged. If you are in danger you can call 111 and they will discuss hospital and possible Crisis Team management, they will deal with your GP or hospital and make a positive decision on a sensible way forward. Samaritans generally listen although generally the will try and calm disruptive thoughts.

We can listen if required, all depends upon your needs.

it might be useful to see if it's been talked about before.

if you click on the Q on the green bar top right of this page, it will bring up a search bar, type in a word or a phrase and you can click for a search.

When you want to talk, maybe just take it in small steps. don't say or do anything you don't want to.

we also have lighthearted posts that you are welcome to join in. you can look at old ones of those too

it is also ok to just read if you don't want to reply.

it is good to see you back here today

Ditto to those replied already! You've taken the first step in just acknowledging there is an issue and just reaching out. Maybe you felt that pouring your problems out in that first post you have deleted was a step too far for you. Baby steps - as they say! Well done for what you have done. I think sometimes the act of seeing your problems in written form show what we have been trying to ignore and get on with.

If you are feeling hopeless there is always someone here who is having, or has, the same issues. But if you really feel that you need instant help - give the samaritans a call, or similar helpline.

Much love and keep strong,

Sue

I think you're right i need to do it step by step

[Hidden]

What kind of response did you think you would get by posting the message you did write.

[Struggle_girl in reply to Hidden]

I honestly don't know i said to myself maby there is somebody who can help me to talk about it

[Hidden in reply to Struggle_girl]

Again we can act as an ear for your worries, it depends on needs and how comfortable you feel

Remember you are in control with your needs, your GP should be aware of that and gain the most positive treatment plan.

Do you feel you need some urgent treatments, and are very unsure of what you need. If so make that appointment, Monday

There is so trust in yourself and let these lovely people help x

[Phoenix2173]

I agree with those that have replied. It is not always easy to talk about things when you are feeling down but if you are to take a step to healing you will need to talk rather than bottle it up as it will grow and haunt your thoughts like a monster making you worse. The truth is no one here will judge you they will listen we dont want you to think that you are alone because you are not. We are here for you and as i said we wont judge and I am sure that everyone will agree with that. When you are ready talk to us and we will be there for you.

Wishing you the confidence to find your voice and being your journey to health.

[Struggle_girl in reply to Phoenix2173]

That's the thing i've been trying for 5 years now to talk about it but i just can't

[Hidden in reply to Struggle_girl]

If you want try here, you can contact any here on their private page by using their site name

Its a shame but something that you have to do because you want to not because people tell you to. I will always listen as i know how it feels not to be able to talk to people and normally out of shame of how you are feeling or fear they will judge you.

[Hidden]

Hi SG I know how difficult it can be to talk about your feelings so why don't you write down how you feel and hand it to the doctor? Or take someone with you if possible?. All doctors are very well used to dealing with depression as they do every single day and it is very common.

As you have seen from the caring replies this is a safe place for you to talk about how you feel so if you can just say a few words about yourself - anything, your favourite colour or your job just anything then it will make it easier to talk next time. It all starts from 1 step you know and you have taken the first one by coming in here.

We are all here for you. Bev x

[Jo2212]
