Hi,feeling very low..again..umm
Posted , 7 users are following.
last year I was feeling low and couldn't cope with life having thoughts of ending it all.i went to the doctors and they put me in touch with a councillor ,they wanted me to take medication for it and I didn't want to take it for all the side affects that might be.i talked it over with a family member and got bye until now.
the thoughts of life is not worth all the crap it throws at me now make me want to self harm,twice now I have put a knife blade to my wrist but not going deep enough only a bad scratch,after I have done that I think next time.i need help but don't want to go to my gp.

I had suicidal thoughts a few months ago. Now I think how wrong I was. I was depressed . That is an illness which makes you think wrongly. I have taken medication and that has nearly put me right.
You should not avoid medication for fear of possible side effects! You may have none. You may have only minor ones. On the other hand medication may make you MUCH better! Isn't it worth it? "Getting by" is hardly something to aim for.
Councilling has not worked for you. Give medicine a go!

Sounds like you're having great difficulty. Hopefully you will consider medication.
Medication can have side effects. I can only speak for myself. Medication has saved my life.
Ultimately you have a choice. Hopefully you will continue to choose to get help.
Best,
Chip

Ask the GP to check yours you never know it might be this, if not, i follow spirituality not religion it is so helpful in making you a stronger person and to see how important you are.and how to cope with the stresses of life.

I had no side effects that I can think of, but any side effects would have been better than the hell I was going through.
And look at it this way.....nobody is making you take them. If the doctor offers them to you and you don't like them, it is your choice.
I wish you all the luck in the world, please go to your GP, they are more understanding and compassionate than you think.
