about
While I am still young, I have had a great deal of life experience. It is from this that I give advice. I am open minded and try not to be judgemental. If I can help in any way, I will. Just ask. However, like everyone else in this world, I am not perfect. My advice may not always suit you, since my experiences are not the same as yours. If you want clarification on any answers I give, feel free to ask me. If you don't like what I said, or if I offended you, let me know. This is the best way for me to improve on my responses. Thanks for looking at my page!
advice
Why is it that I think thru a thought of suicide? I know what it would to to my adult children,and my grandchildren. I truly think that they will get over it, in time. I am so tired of struggling. I've lost my home, my health, my brothers make no contact with me even when I reach out. I am on depression and panic attack meds. I am 53, not overweight. As my daughter told me, "get over with the pity party"
How long have you been on your meds? It sounds like a med adjustment may be needed if you are seriously considering suicide, so see your doctor. The thoughts, however, may come and go. I'm no longer actually considering suicide, though I think about it often. Are you going to therapy? I have found it to be very helpful. If you can find a group intensive outpatient therapy, that is a really wonderful setting for learning to cope with these thoughts and feelings. As you have depression, the comment to "get over with the pity party" shows lack of understanding of depression. It is often a chemical imbalance. You can't help it happening except by having the right meds and the right therapy. Another thing to consider is a support group. Go to DBSA {dot} com to find a depression support group near you. They have great peer run groups.
I hope that helps.
(Rating: 5) Thank-you so much for answering me. I yet again reached out to my brothers, with no answer. I am feeling like the odd one out, and that I am too much to bother with. Our dad feared this when he passed away.
