Iv been struggling really bad last couple days been none stop thinking about suicide thoughts I just feel like there’s no light at the end of the tunnel I went to my doctors the crisis team are coming to see me today I just can’t stop thinking about not wanting to be here anymore and it’s scaring me. How can I feel like that but I’m so scared of death? I can’t stop crying and crying I’m deeply depressed, doctor give me diazepam to try chill me out but my brain just won’t stop. I have dropped my antidepressant over a month ago from 100mg to 50mg sertraline. I just don’t know what to do how to get these thoughts out my head

Please dont do anything rash, I promise it will get better. I’ve been there. Reach out to a family member or friend, someone who can be with you until you feel a bit better. I would also call your doctor asap and let them know what you’re feeling.

Kaaayla, how are you doing after seeing the crisis team yesterday.

What was their input to help you. This could very well be coming

from the decrease in medication. Were you doing it under a doctor's

supervision? Get the professional help you need and don't give up.

We support you and care about you. xx

Hi Kayla. You are not alone. I think it is really brave and strong of you to reach out and also talk to your doctors. They can help you and so can community. Who else in your life can be a good support system while you are in this season? I say that you are in a season because I don’t think the depression or anxiety defines you and I think in time you will be able to grow and overcome it with help. You are so loved and so valuable. Keep sharing how you’re feeling when you’re scared, that’s the best thing you can do. It’s less scary when it’s not just in your head. Have you tried doing any reading on anxiety? Also, when I’m scared I pray to God and ask for comfort and strength. He always brings me peace unlike anything or anyone else. A local church would be a great opportunity to get plugged in to a community if you’re open to it. I wish you the best!

You are not alone. Many of us come here with the same fears. But that is all it is fear. We are all here to listen and help in anyway we can. Depresssion is temporary. It may not seem that way to you right, but it is temporary. I promise. I have been through it and I am so glad I did because now I see the sun shiniing as you will too.
