I'm so sorry you're having such a hard time. It's easy to feel lonely when you're depressed. You're not. We've all been there and know what a struggle it is. Tell your therapist that you're worried about suicide! Can you tell your family or a friend? I'm glad you reached out. You're not alone. Sending hugs from San Francisco.
Hello, powerans hope you are doing good. I think so you should tell your therapist that you are feeling suicidal and Zoloft is good for depression but it takes 6-8 weeks to show improvement. So don't get depressed you will soon feel better and all these things will go away.
Good advice from Albertina. Elisheva, OCD is a stubborn and persistent bully, hard to beat in just a couple of days or week. Be patient and compassionate with yourself. (Easier said than done) Look for a specialized OCD therapist; medications help a lot but also take some time to work. Lelote
Hi there ,we all have gone and go through the same stuff ,I used to say if I could take off my head for a while just to get a bit of peace,,,,and put it back on later ,that's how the constant thinking would make me feel ,, Depression is also a best friend of fear ,and the fear of what if this and what if that is how this crap works ,it will get better believe me ,try to recognize this for what it is an illness that makes you worry and invaded your happiness,,,I used a pill called ciprimill it took the edge off feeling down and it lifted my mood ,then I was better able to deal with the thing .I don't take pills any more ,but there is a time for everything ,,,,but remember you can beat this thing ,you are a good person and because you are ,is the reason the thoughts up set you so much ,,,,stay strong ,it will get better and you will have your happiness back
