I looked at my doctor's screen and it said .... Drug dependent. I had asked for some ongoing help with medications and I was made to feel like nothing less than white drug abusing trash...... I've struggled with depression which I thought I beat.... And I suffer anxiety multiple times per day which manifests itself physically...the media took helped !!!

Can I be honest? Tonight I want to jump in my car and drive away and never come back to my life......I'm withdrawn ... I don't want to be around anyone including my family I don't even want to be around myself ..... I feel like I've failed them, failed my self, failed my wife, failed everyone around me.... I know I work hard and I know people love me .... But it feels like it's never enough...

Don't feel like you have to post messages of encouragement, I just want to be alone... That feeling of your on that last piece of rope and it's about to slip out of your finger tips

Hi mate,

I won't reply fully as you wish to be alone, but I'm glad you shared and I'm here if you change your mind.

Hang in there,

Hi Ben,

Not that long ago I was close to checking out of this life.

Someone called the emergency services and I ended up in hospital.

I was angry and confused. I felt like there was no point.

Today I am doing a lot better.

Not sure if you will read this or not. Just want to suggest you reach out to someone right now.

Life can be tough. It can suck big time and IT CAN CHANGE FOR THE BETTER!

Cheers from Dools

Hi Ben,
What can I say? When my anxiety hits it's peak. I want to run away all day long. I question my own motives. How rarely family not know how stressed I am with the kids. What if I moved closer? Would that make them want to visit more often. Oh, they just don't care about me. Well, I'll show them. I'll move. Where's nice, with nice people. This can occur in a span of 5 minutes. I get it. Never allow others opinion of you get in the way. That is anxiety though. Chin up x

Hey Ben,I get that you just want to be alone,me too especially after a visit to the doctors where after nearly twenty years of taking painkillers which I am now 'dependent' on,every time I ask for my usual script I feel like a junkie. I am not, and I know you probably aren't either. I am a person in pain just wanting a bit of help to live a small ordinary life. There are lots of us in this same boat. Thinking of you. Kat woman.

Hi Ben, I also want to welcome you to the forums and please remember that you may want to be alone and we respect this, but no way should you feel lonely.

Take care.

Geoff.
