    Re: Can’t go on

    Thanks Pulisa, your post was v helpful. I took some diazepam and had a short nap this afternoon and feel slightly less desperate. My local community team also called me for a chat and we created a crisis plan together.

    It’s good to people have felt this bad and come out the other side. I really struggle when I don’t feel in control, both with my thoughts and feelings and in life in general. Which is probably why the current situation has impacted me So much as I’ve been feeling very trapped for the last couple of months. And now I feel trapped in my head.

    This "trapped" feeling is very common though. I'm glad you have a crisis plan in place and I think it's very important that you take the diazepam regularly over the long weekend. Remember that you can call the crisis line at any time because they are open on a 24/7 basis.

    You need to take it purely a day at a time and not think too far ahead because you WILL feel out of control then..as we all would.

    I take it you're struggling with your little girl...but when your concentration is all over the place and you're highly anxious and can't think straight it's hardly surprising. Try to recoup some sleep and eat little and often. Take things slowly and don't berate yourself? It's horrible getting through the endless hours like this but the diazepam WILL help..

    Don't worry about not being able to connect. You can't when you take your ruminations with you and the anxiety is too acute. You'll get back to being able to enjoy your chill place but don't expect too much at the moment. This episode WILL pass.

    Piano sounds like excellent therapy. Clears the mind of anything else. Keep playing

    Re: Can’t go on

    Hello. Happy new year. I’m feeling slightly calmer today. Managed to go to the park with my daughter this morning. And did 30 mins meditation. Still getting regular overwhelming pangs but trying hard not to react. Speaking on here yesterday definitely helped me. Thanks. One day at a time!

    So glad you're feeling a little better. Sometimes baby steps are what it takes.
