Everything's wrong, and i can't cope?!
Question: Everything's wrong, and i can't cope!?
I have lived with depression since i was 13 and was prescribed Ativan, ive been on many more pills since, valium, prozac,seroxat,amatryptoline, i wont go on, i am on meds at the moment, i also have physical problems too!. I was asking my partner to try and help me find a way to be either voluntarily accepted into a psych ward, either that or sectioned, for his and my daughters safety, i self harm when i feel i cant control the littlest things in my life, i burn myself, but as Christmas got nearer and the stress of being short of money, having a 14 yr old who i love dearly, and wanting to get her at least what i could afford, and it wasn't much, i lost it, i felt these anger,anxious, and really negative violent feelings really overwhelming me, until i actually punched my daughter, now, i know it was wrong, as i was brought up with constant beatings, and i felt really bad and low afterwards, so i waited until my partner was out, and my daughter and took a load of pills and ran a bath, and i felt euphoric that i was leaving this hell behind, not my family just the feelings of sheer uselessness, before that i called the school and told them what i had done, and social workers got involved, they asked if she wanted to press charges, she refused, its the first time i have ever raised my hand to her,(one too many) but have had violent outbursts before so i knew how i felt wasn't just going to go away, we had such a horrible xmas and new year, and i still get feelings of wanting to kill myself often!. I have tried in the past i ended up on a life support machine, the only thing that stopped me was my partner taking the pills and flushing them down the toilet this time, i just wish i could wake up every day and feel good, i get the odd day im up and down constantly!. does anyone know of an outreach place or any kind of help i can attend so i can deal with whats making me feel like this and could help me stop burning!? any answers would be appreciated, im in the glasgow area, Scotland!. Thank you!. (long question sorry )Www@Answer-Health@Com
