I'm struggling again so much. I thought I was getting better and becoming more accepting of myself but my word I've come down with a crash and I can't stop crying. I constantly wish I wasn't here and that my family would be better off without me. I feel like such a burden.
I also doubt that your family would be better off without you. It's awful when you feel yourself to be a burden, but it's probably not how others see you.
Have you ever seen a GP about these feelings? There may be some clinical depression that therapy or medication could help with.
Yes I'm going to speak to my GP tomorrow because I just don't see how I can carry on as I am
I'm pleased. If you don't mind me saying, it might help if you write down what you want to say beforehand, because, if you're like me, it's really easy to forget something important in the appointment, particularly if you're nervous.
I hope the medication and further appointment help.
I'm OK, just a bit tired as I was feeling quite anxious and agitated last night (I'm not really sure why) and didn't sleep much.
Thank you so much for remembering - the doctor has upped my medication. I'm seeing someone from mental health on Thursday too so hopefully they may be able to help too. How are you doing?
I hope the appointment went well.
That's such good advice. Thank you because I do tend to forget what I want to say.
