Depression getting worse

[warriorc]

Hi

I'm new here i have had PTSD , severe depression and anxiety for over 6 yrs now. It was brought on by an assault. Every time I think i'm getting a bit better something comes along and knocks me back down.

I want to try going back to some work but i'm scared my finances will be even worse than they are now.

It's a vicious circle that leaves me with suicidal thought often.

Hi nice to meet you. You don't say whether you are getting any medical help. Are you and is it helping?

I have to say my cmht is really good i'm on anti depressants. I have also had therapy and i have been referred for another treatment called EMDR.

But despite all of this everyday seems to be getting harder. I know i am hard on myself and I need to accept that mental health problems are not easy to cure or control. Sometimes you just want to tell the world to give you a little break before it hits you with the next crisis.

I am pleased you are getting the help you need. Like you said though it will take time but you have hope. And hope is essential.

Counselling is never an easy option as it involves dealing with very painful feelings and emotions, but if you can persevere it should start helping you in time. It did me.

In the meantime all you can do is accept how you are feeling and know that it's not your fault. Treat yourself as being fragile and don't take on more than you can cope with at the moment. Batten the hatches as much as you can and make sure you look after yourself.

Unfortunately the world won't stop but I wish it would sometimes. I often say stop the world I want to get off for a while.

Meantime stay here with us and we will support and help you all we can. Take care.
