I am so scared, don't know what to do.....?

Question

I feel I am at the lowest point I have ever been in my life. It takes so much effort just to get out of bed. The slightest things make me break down and cry. I feel so alone. I can’t tell my parents I have put them through enough and I don’t want my sister or my boyfriend to find out.

All I can think about is giving up, I can’t cope anymore. I m so scared. I don’t want to die, but it hurts so much I just don’t know how much longer I can pretend everything is fine.

Answer 1

You need to see a doctor. Clinical depression is a real thing and can be treated, but you have to take the first step, realize that you have a problem, and get the help you need. It sounds like you are willing and ready to take that step, and I wish you nothing but happiness and the best.

Answer 2

Since I don't know your age (assume you are young though), I would call the local county heath office and ask about youth counseling. Explain your situation and ask them if they can refer you to a place that doesn't require parent notification. Since I don't know the depth or cause of your depression, I would recommend a professional assessment. You obviously need help and until you talk to someone you wont know just how much or how little. Everybody is different. I used to feel the same way (although I believe I'm much older...lol) and nothing seemed to help, then I broke down and finally agreed to try yet one more medication...and now I have the same lust for life that I had when I was twenty. Like I said everyone is different, but you have to be willing to talk to someone and open up (and I don't mean on-line) to find out what you need. Best of luck to you.

Answer 3

You know i felt the same way once and when i told my Doc.it turned out to be a hormonal imbalance I was put on treatment and it worked! Life is beautiful!!!!!! You might just need a Lil boost! If you don't want to put your parents into anymore bad experiences DON'T think about giving up!

I think you should think of all the people who struggle with a physical illness and don't give up. Perhaps you should take a look at some of Tony Mendez's videos on u-tube. I think that this will help!

Answer 4

Vanessa,

I am not sure how old you are, or what the circumstances are either. But what I do know is that this is temporary. I am 38 years old and I still remember a poster that hung on the wall of my Health class in school. Here is what it said:

"Suicide is a permanent solution, to a temporary problem."

It is very true. Your family loves you, no matter what you have done. This can be resolved. If you feel like you cannot go to any of your family members, go to someone. You could try going your church, if you have one, or to any church for help. That is what they are there for. You should also go to your doctor, as it sounds like you are depressed, and need medical attention.

As a mother, the most horrible thing I can think of happening is the death of one of my children. I don't think I could live through it. It would forever change me, my husband, and my other children. Please don't do anything to harm yourself, your family would not want to live with the guilt of knowing that they could have done something to prevent this. The last thing I will say is that Suicide is a very selfish act. You will be fine, you are loved, and you will make it through this. God bless you Vanessa. You are in my prayers.

Answer 5

Call your physician and ask them to recommend a therapist for you to talk to.

When you talk to this therapist, drop your defenses and your pride at the door and tell them everything honestly and openly when they ask you questions or ask you to talk. It won't be easy nor will it always be pleasant but when you do it, if you really open up, it'll come out very clearly.

Do not be afraid to tell your family. Their support in this will be very helpful. They may not understand and ask them to not try and "fix" you, just be there if you need them.

Same thing for your friends and your boyfriend. This one might be tricky, but if he doesn't have the patience to be there and support you through this, you are better off finding out now. He also can not "fix" you and this may frustrate him should he stick around, because he is going to want to help. His help is just being there for you when you need him.

Smile! You are not alone. Therapists help people all of the time with what each individual thinks is something that only they are going through. Believe in yourself, BE PATIENT and call your doctor soon.

Take care!

Answer 6

I have major depression Bipolar Disorder and i know exactly how you are feeling, It is hard to explain the way you are feeling to someone if they cant relate to what you are feeling. You need to go and talk to someone a therapist or even maybe a psychiatrist who can prescribe you the medication necessary for you to function in your everyday life. it really helps me. It helps to talk to the friends you trust just somebody listening can help. you have to make yourself get out of bed, and remember that everything will be OK and you are loved by your family and friends. When you feel like you want to give up, call somone and talk to them so you feel better, also set some goals for yourself so you have something to work towards. I would really go talk to a therapist though it sounds like that is what you need right now. i promise everything will be fine. feel free to email me if you want to chat. Good luck sweetie and remember you are very special

Answer 7

Hey, whats up.
I've felt that low, its not uncommon (so your not alone). People just dont talk openly about these things. Once you start talking about it (to the right people) its half the battle. Admitting a problem is the hardest, then its a matter of taking steps to get yourself out of a bad situation. And the good news is, you dont have to do it alone- there's help out there, see your GP asap. It is a chemical imbalance and there's medication only a GP can advise you on. Good Luck!!!!

Answer 8

I have been there and there is hope. Get some medical help as soon as possible, although I don't like to be on perscription anti-depressants, they do help. I used anti-depressants for a short time then went to natural remedies. I was so depressed that I could not work for eight months. It may be a combination of depression, stress and anxiety. You need help quickly, so see a doctor right away. Here is a web sight that can help. Good Luck http://www.natural-herbal-remedies.net/depression.html

Answer 9

You are clinically depressed..it is a horrible horrible feeling but you can come out the other side with help. If you broke your arm you wouldn't hesitate to get help and this is no different. Anti depressants take a couple of weeks to work but they really do help, and maybe some counselling would deal with the underlying cause. Good luck!

Answer 10

I understand exactly what you are going threw. The best thing would be to talk to someone about what is bothering you. I know it might feel like you are burdening them but your not. Your family would rather see you happy, than to see you at your worse. If you have a friend that you trust enough to talk to them.. than you should talk to them. There are also counseling centers that are more than willing to help you. Also i found that if i have things that I can look forward too. Thing that make you happy. It helps you get threw the day..
