Really bad place

[Hardtotalk]

This is how I feel right now,still no sleep,anxiety and depression are crippling me. Don't know what to do or say, just feel like going back to bed closing curtains and curling up in the dark.see my counsellor Wednesday but think it will be too late 😞My daughter is in the house and I need to hide this so she doesn't worry

Hi having no sleep will have increased your anxiety and that is key here; try deep breathing excercises and focus on the inner strength that you have to slow your mind and bring a little peace. Posting here shows you are strong ~ it takes guts to write down how you feel and share it. You will need a good sleep today and make sure your sleep hygene is good no coffee, etc before bed.

You will get thru the day and your daughter will be there for you too,

I wish you a good day and better nights sleep ~ you deserve it

I have just got dressed, tried the deep breathing but unfortunately not working,heads gone I think 😢Daughter out now.feel like I need to run but no energy gonna get in the car an get out of here can't cope am lost

Even tried ringing samaritans but line is busy said ring again just can't now

Samaritans are usually easy to speak to and rarely engaged (but Sunday mornings seem busy) so try again. I'm sure you'll get through if you keep trying over 5 minutes or so.

It's important to do things and not ruminate.

There are some resource ideas in the box on the right if you are suicidal. I have lived with this almost constantly for 4 years now. Your daughters care is paramount

All I can suggest until you see your CPN is try and divert your concerns to take you mind of the situation you find yourself in. Most of this problem seems to be Anxiety associated with your depression.

If your daughter is around do you have anywhere you could go for a walk, or are there any family goings on you could discuss as long as they keep away from anything that is upsetting you.

Sometimes it may be an idea to talk to your Daughter the problems you have that are causing your Depression, generally doing this may put part of your Depression into some form of perspective as you will gain insights from someone close to you. Hopefully you will gain support and understanding from your Daughter and this will help you come to terms with any of these concerns

i do not know why you suffer the depression, your CPN will try and discuss your concerns and try to help you address your worries and low mood
