Is there anybody out there?
Hello I am new to this app. I just wanted to try something new I guess. I've been taking antidepressant for a year now but nothing helps. I feel like a failure at everything. Being a wife, mom of a infant and toddler, my job, just life in general. I used to be a cutter many years ago, i just wanted to feel something else other than what i was feeling at the time. I quit when i met my husband. But over the years my depression has been getting deeper and i cant seem to find a way out. Ive thought about suicide many times but i snap myself out of it but remembering how much my family depends on me. Am i the only one going through this? Hello?.. Is there anybody out there?......
You’re not the only one going through this. I am also a cutter. I stopped a while ago, but my own struggles are starting to make me want to do it again. I’m trying my best as well to not, because the pain achieves nothing. You’re not alone. I hear your pain. You are more than the burdens you carry. Please call for help, and talk with a therapist. There are many affordable options.
I also meant to say you can also use the direct connect function if you want to talk to someone immediately.
You're not alone. I have two toddlers, a job, and a fiance. They're trying me on different medications to see what will help. I feel I cannot do anything right. Like a failure. Please don't give up, and don't give in. You are valued and you are loved. Look to your children who hug you and call out "mommy". Look to someone who took a vow to be by your side through the good and bad. As my counselor tells me, "get out of your head." When you are trapped in your mind, it goes to a dark place. Do you have any passions? Any talents? Try putting time into that. And if you haven't recently, reach out to your doctor or therapist. I'm not either, but I understand feeling like a failing mom. But you aren't failing. I hope what I said makes sense, and I hope you feel better. Good luck and prayers.
I'm out here, suffering too. I'm sorry your in pain, i know that pain it brings you to a scary dark place, I've been there for 3 years. I am in therapy and on meds and I have hobbies for distracting myself. But sometimes it's a tough fight. I just think about my kids, even tho they're adults now,they still need me so I hang on praying for healing so I can find some peace. Just wanted to let you know your not alone. I have been the victim of violent child abuse, sexual assault and toxic workplace to name a few. Just go one step at a time and know your kids need you , ABB💜
