Struggling

Isadora

I'm struggling with depression and my mind and emotions are catastrophic. I'm not eating a lot and I'm unable to sleep, well I get some sleep but not many hours. No one takes me seriously and are no use or help. My doctor has been no help either just tries to give me pills all the time. And now anxiety is beginning to get to work as well so I'm stuck worrying all day long as well.

I usually hold a pendent which gives me comfort but it's not working anymore.

  • Hi Isadora, I'm in the same situation. Call your local MIND Group. They have counsellors etc who can help you with your struggles. I am speaking with one on a weekly basis and it is very useful to me. They can give you lots of different positive ways of dealing with your emotions/depression etc. When I gwt a negative thought I try to distract myself, make a cuppa, look out the window at the birds or the clouds and the different shapes. Go and have a shower, try to do something slightly different and say to yourself that this thought is only part of an emotion, it will pass. Good luck and hope you can get yourself out of your predicament.
