The Mrs Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I've suffered with depression since I was a child due to horrid things happening to me. Now I'm older with kids and it keeps returning, it feels like a punishment. Living a life like this is like torture I need to escape from. I have a loving husband but no matter how many people you have you feel alone. I'm considering just leaving as I make everyone unhappy. Does anyone else suffer like this? I'm on tablets but honestly I cannot keep living life like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mrs Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 I'm under the GP, I have a mental health worker who went in long term sick over 4 months ago and left me with no support what so ever. The crisis team have been called on 2 occasions and they never even bothered to call back. What's the point in asking and reaching out for help when there is none????? My husband my kids would be much much happier if they didn't have to put up with me like this, my illness can't be having a good effect in my lovely children ---------- Post added 05-01-2014 at 19:24 ---------- It doesn't work that way, I'm on meds and as for the counselling I've asked only to be told because of funding it's not available at this time. I had help for 2 wks when I was in a psychiatric hospital and after that nothing. I'm asking for help and not getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambz Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I too have suffered for many years with Depression - eventually diagnosed as Bi polar. I waited weeks for talking therapy but found it really helpful. Have a look here: http://www.sheffieldiapt.shsc.nhs.uk I hope you find the coping mechanisms that work for you - just remember that there is always some one willing to listen.

Ambz x The problem is I live in rotherham, support systems are different here than when I lived in sheffield. Honestly I've really had enough. This isn't a life, I'm not living I'm just existing in this horrible and miserable world. What kind of life is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaati Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 First of all it takes a person with balls to come onto a forum and admit their problem. That is strength. I'm sure your hubby and kids would not be happy without you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahjane Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hi I have suffered from a combination of depression and anxiety for years too and I know how you feel. I do think you should go back to your doctors immediately and explain EXACTLY how you are feeling and what the consequences would be of them not getting you some additional help. Also, could you afford to have some treatment privately? I'm thinking along the lines of hypnotherapy which can be really helpful (talking from experience).
