In a deep place

A

I can’t cope anymore. Everything is crashing down and i just dont want to be here anymore. I’m just a waste of space and cause so much pain for my partner and kids. I feel so ashamed and can’t reconnect after recent overwhelm. So many things happened in space of hr last Friday and I’ve lost it. Shut down and struggling to get through this one. I feel so ashamed. I’m supposed to be a partner and parent but I’m just hurting them. Being the weekend is the worse time too as I’m usually just a rollercoaster bouncing around and then give up. I can’t seem to bare being around anyone or anything as it just feels like someone has their finger on an electric buzzer and constantly being triggered everywhere I go. Staying in bed with music looping is only place I can be right now. I don’t know how to get through this.

  • Dear A, 

    Thank you for posting and telling the community what you are going through. We are sorry to hear that you are currently experiencing overwhelm and feelings of shame. Feeling overwhelmed and feeling as though you cannot cope is difficult but it is good that you’ve let us know what is happening. Many people have similar thoughts when coping with so much and we hope you’re okay.     

     

    If you are unable to cope with the distress or despair, it’s very important to tell someone about your feelings or thoughts of suicide. Call your GP and make an urgent appointment. Your GP can make sure you get appropriate help and support. 

     

    The National Autistic Society does not currently operate a crisis or emergency service. We advise you to contact 999 or any of the mental health crisis lines listed on our Urgent Help Page if you are at risk of immediate harm: https://www.autism.org.uk/what-we-do/help-and-support/urgent-help  

     

    If you are not at immediate risk of harm, we would encourage you to speak to your GP or another health professional about this if you haven’t done so already. If it’s outside your GP hours call 111 to reach the NHS 111 service. In England, Wales and Scotland there is now an option to speak with mental health professionals by selecting ‘option 2’ when calling NHS 111: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/urgent-and-emergency-care-services/when-to-use-111/
