Depressed

[Imaginator997]

I have been feeling really depressed and down lately. I have not been feeling good about myself at all. I think what a failure I am. Each day I have characters telling me things everyday. These characters tell me negative things everyday. These characters are from tv shows and characters in my life. Each day I and the characters beat myself up about what I am unable to do and how I am a failure. The characters tell me that I am not a man and that I am a wimp, and to be honest their right. My anxiety gets the best of me and makes me avoid doing things. In addition to avoiding these things I then beat myself up for avoiding these things. I am a failure and I wish I could die in my sleep.

Fight the voices, they can be silenced. Talking to someone such as Samaritans can help silence them. Of course, and its up to you, but maybe you should also be talking to your GP and allowing them to help you from a professional level. Take care of yourself

Don't you have someone that pull you out of these moods, snap you back to more cheerful place and give you positive vibes/encouragement?

I know a bit about what you are going through and I know that there is precious little that I can say that will help. You are not alone in your feelings, other people are going though this. I don't know if that makes things better for you but you are not as alone as you might think.

I have had some mental health issues for a few years now.but have only had a voice demon that’s what I call it since about October.and just managed to block it out it tells me the change tv channels or change songs.the thing is it like my late uncle’s voice I hear.last week it had an argument with my sister on the phone it was like I was listening in.to stop the argument I hurt him but I was hurting myself.but is was trying to get control of my self I scratched in my leg I am j my name is John.i am now awaiting to here from my gp after having assessment by phone with the mental health team.but I am fighting this demon in side my head day by day all meds locked away.the thing is your better than your demon I hope you have family and freinds if so talk to them about what your going through I know it’s not nice talk about it.but I wish when I started to hear this voice had told someone instead of being stubborn and trying to deal with it my self then I would not have scratches on my arms and legs it must have hurt but I did not feel a thing.be strong seek help I was alway told my my late father that when your having a bad time think that there is always someone out there that is going through a worse time than you I think he was right.i think this lockdown and all the dad things going on around the world are not helping with mental health issues.so stop watching to much news it my help.

So stay strong stay safe.and you are not alone someone will always be on these forums to reply to you and some will be able to help you.

John.

Compare yourself with who you were yesterday not with who someone is today . Try bettering yourself and try comparing yourself with tou because you are the most important person in your life ! Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for caring and make sure you offer yourself the best . No one is perfect , especially the people from tv .

Be thankful you are not one of those people on the TV etc, those actors are living a dream made up by a Writer and Directed to possible extremes that are not relative to your life choices and expectations. They are a dream for many and do not relate to your life or expectations. The same applies to those around you, if they try to make you inadequate possibly that is resultant to their lives not yours.

Move on gain confidence and understand you are not living in a play or Series,, life can prove more mundane although very intense.

Consider phoning your GP Practice and ask for an appointment or return call to explain how you are feeling. Make out your list to talk from or give to your Doctor so you do not forget anything regards how you feel.

Let us know how you get on
