lost all hope

[missunderstood2000]

Hi , im currently an inpatient in a mental health ward and i feel just as bad as when i came here 8 months ago , everyone says that its going to get better but when my life is falling apart more everyday and some of the people i could trust and talk to may not be able to anymore and i cant see the point in living. I really dont know how much more i can take.

Hi, sorry to hear that things are so bad for you at the moment. I can't think of any suggestions to help (other than keep talking to the nurses and any therapists who are there on the ward to help and support you), but I just wanted to let you know that I'd read your post and that I'm thinking about you. I hope that somehow things soon start to gradually improve for you, no matter how tiny and insignificant some of those improvements might seem to be at first.

Hi, you haven't written anything in your profile so we don't know what kind of age you are, and whether you have had mental health issues in the past. I was in a mental health ward for two weeks so I do understand how you must be feeling frustrated after eight months. My health problem turned out to be a very low thyroid (hypothyroid) which can give up to one hundred different symptoms including bad depression, anxiety, paranoia. The psychiatrist only looked at my brain but in fact for me it was my thyroid gland. Please do send me a Private Message if you want to chat x

P S . I'm on both this forum and the Thyroid forum here. I've learnt that even low vitamin B12 can give some bad mental health symptoms. At the end of the day, our bodies are what we put into them, or don't put into them. Lack of vitamin D can also give bad symptoms. There are hundreds of different vitamins, minerals, amino acids etc that we are made up of. I would advise you to try your hardest to have a blood test that includes as many different tests as possible. Do you have family or friends who can help you? The only trouble is that all blood tests have Ranges. Doctors seem unable to interpret the actual blood test against the Range beside it. For example, vitamin B12 needs to be at the top of the range, but if it's somewhere near the bottom, then the doctor will say you are fine - but you won't be.

Do you think it could be PTSD? Take care of yourself

What happened to you during childhood is not your fault. You were a child.
