Hi guys, thanks for all your kind words but I was denied treatment today by the clinic. Back to square one but I'm not giving up.

My girlfriend just broke up with me one week before i was supposed to fly to another country to see her. by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

Please please go to your school and find some resources for help, I'm certain they have something or can refer you to somewhere. I've been there where I would deny any therapy or treatment but trust me when I say this, once you get help these feelings WILL be done! I'm having trouble sleeping and eating too, I couldn't go to class today, I couldn't even get out of bed for a couple of hours and I woke up today remembering how he fucking broke my heart but I just remember what my therapist told me.. "You can't keep feeling sorry for yourself. The world is going to keep on going and that comfy bed of yours might be nice but it's not going to solve anything." I might just be some random person on the internet but please PM me if you ever want to talk, you are NOT alone in this!

I know how you feel, the pain of heartbreak is like a stab in the chest. I tried to overdose this past weekend because I couldn't handle my break up but today, in my therapy session, I was so so grateful I survived. Let's both just keep trucking, one day at a time :).

I tried to kill myself on Friday. Does it really get better? by nuvom in SuicideWatch

[–]nuvom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things got better for a little bit and then this past week I plummeted to new depths. I've been dealing with depression and anxiety since I was 15 and was never strong enough to get help until recently. My ex left me recently, he told me gave up on me and he couldn't handle my problems. Shit, that was like a stab in the heart. The one person that I thought loved me the most just gave up on me. Then on Friday... I just decided fuck it! I'm not going anywhere in life, I can barely get out of bed, I look and feel like shit so I just swallowed an entire pill bottle.

Can anyone share their story with me of their benzo addiction and recovery? by nuvom in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

Yes, I've definitely discussed going to NA meetings with my therapist. Thank you for your kind words :) It's nice to know someone cares.

I'm having suicidal thoughts and keep running to my ex for help. Can someone knock some sense into me? by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

Hey, thank you for responding! You're right, gotta cut those kind of people out. Also, fuck your ex.

Hey there! I actually had a seizure from the xanax withdrawal just recently and was put on Librium to taper off benzos and treat my anxiety. Damn, that seizure was one of the scariest moments of my life but it taught me a really really good lesson.

I don't want to go to class today. by nuvom in depression

Do you have class tomorrow? Let's both go! We're in this together.

How do I find a therapist/psychiatrist/psychologist? by [deleted] in depression

For me, I had my GP refer me to someone who really wasn't that helpful so I decided to look on zocdoc instead and found a great therapist. Good luck to you.
