Hi Lynseyhot,

I am truly sorry that you are feeling so low and unhappy with your life at the moment. I hope that you will find the strength to get through this difficult episode of having such dark and negative thoughts, which must be so frightening and upsetting for you. Have you been able to speak with your Mum or friends about how hard you are finding your life and trying to cope with your depression. Having a mental health illness can be very traumatic, and takes time to find the right treatment for you, such as often a combination of therapy and medication. Please do access all the help you can get from your health professionals and I also think it is wise for you to see your GP as soon as possible to explain your thoughts and feelings. It may be that you need more help from community psychiatric nurse and crisis team. Keep the crisis support numbers nearby in case you need them in a hurry. And also you may like to speak with the Samaritans. They are there to help support and encourage you to recognise that strength and resilience that you do have, in order for you to believe that you can and will get better in time with the right support from all members of your medical team. The Samaritans are open seven days a week every day of the year, and offer confidential and anonmymous advice and they are very empathic.
