Want to run away and get desperately needed help

Neb — Sat, 29 Apr 2017 13:35:50 GMT

I feel the need to move state to seek the help I desperately need because I can't see my life getting any better where I am and I'm close to the edge as it is.... plus the added pressures of so called "family and friends" that don't really care and know how to push all the wrong buttons to make me feel like a worthless piece of shit.....

I have no support at all I only have ME to help MYSELF but with my anxiety taking over lately that's extremely hard on the best of days.... so I'm just hoping someone can give me some advice or even just let me know if this is even possible

Hi Neb.

It's definitely a tough spot to be in.

I grew up with abusive parents who were directly opposed to me seeking counselling or psychiatric help for my depression and anxiety. I had no friends or family to support me and the few people in my life at the time made things a lot worse.

At 17, still in school, completing my HSC, I left home. It was the best decision I could have made. My depression and anxiety was only getting worse and I was on edge to say the least, so it needed to happen if I was going to keep living. The most important thing is that you need a plan, and you need to think about everything that can go wrong. Getting a counsellor to assist with the planning would be the best thing you can do. They can make sure the transition runs smoothly and that way you have some support throughout the process. It's not good to be completely on your own. Secondly, I can't emphasise how important safety is. You need to make sure you are safe wherever you are and that you don't put yourself in harm's way by cutting ties with family and friends.

Please stay safe and I wish you all the best.

hi Neb, I agree with Paul, you can't consider yourself to be worthless, because that's what people say when no one around them can relate or understand how they are feeling, so when you make a comment they tilt their head backwards and roll their eyes saying 'here we go again', but they are ignorant of the fact that you are suffering from anxiety/depression.
These people will be no help what's so ever, until they learn and recognise what this illness curtails, so any support will not happen.
This only makes your condition worse and pushes you further away and it then makes it harder for you to consider seeing your doctor, because that's how you think they will feel, but no they are there to help you. Geoff.
