Hi all. Newbie. I'm Jim and I'm at the end of my rope.

I have had depression for a number of years triggered by the usual, loss of parents divorce etc. Ex military. Ex human being.

I took myself off pills after a failed suicide Xmas eve just gone. My issue now is anxiety. I split with a fairly long term partner (still friends) met someone a lot younger who I love.

My issue is I think my heart is about to pack up as my chest and neck are in constant pain. I sweat then cry about 6 times a day.

I hate it. I'm sure we all do.

My question is diazepam type pills- good or bad.

Sorry if this isn't the place to pour my heart out. I'll move on if I'm wrong.

Hi TiredJim You are still a human being:) I have had depression for years, but slowly I am getting there some days are worse than others though. Can I ask how old you are?
Ex military did you retire on health grounds it's very demanding job? Re the meds I can't say, as I am trying to manage my depression with out meds. What help if any are you getting at the moment? Have you talked with your Dr about how you are feeling?
It will get better :) Cheers

When you get back ask your dr for different meds if possible hope you get back on track soon :) Cheers
