I stopped taking my anti depressants for anxiety 3 days ago and am feeling surprisingly good. Although I have this dark cloud over my shoulder just waiting to be riddled by anxiety and need to go back on them. I really don't want to, the side effects were awful. Feeling very "damned if you do, damned if you don't" but somewhat optimistic.

I could use one right now, thanks.

@Pandas4ever

Lots of HUGS, all welcome x

I need several hugs...

I hit my lowest point last night. I started having more and more suicidal thoughts recently. I don't know if I can really call him the recital because I don't have any desire to kill myself I just don't want to be alive anymore. Is there a difference? I'm not sure what to do. I probably made a mistake because I lost it last night, with my boyfriend, and I actually told him that I've been a lot worse off than I really thought that I was. I know I've been going through some severe depression for the past 3 or 4 months probably. I try and hold it together and sometimes I can, but I've been getting increasingly more and more emotional, I know I also have low self-esteem, anxiety, and probably a plethora of other things that are going on. I haven't known how to talk to anybody about it, because I don't think people take me seriously. I know they don't know what to say. I know they don't know what to do. I'm not asking anyone to give me help or answers. I know no one can help me, and I've been told that I just have to work on myself. I've been working on myself my entire life. I never quit. And I'm told that, "I'm crazy" and being overly sensitive, and "annoying", and that I'm always sad.

Well, yeah. I am. I'm depressed. I need help. I can't do this alone anymore. I don't have the strength. I have been trying, but I can't do this alone.

I consider myself a failure for finally admitting that I've been having suicidal thoughts and thoughts of just "giving up".

@raspberryShade68 *hugs*

@raspberryShade68 Also you're not a failure. I'm not saying that just to make you feel better, but you're strong enough to say what you've been feeling :)

I would like a hug. Must have only had 5 hugs or so in the past 2 months.

@calmHemlock64 big hugs being sent, in need of hugs too xx
