Hi Lisa1987,

I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this at the moment. I have definitely been in periods where I've had thoughts of no longer being around and it is very depressing. Please know, if you need to or are having negative thoughts that you can always contact one of the counsellors here at beyond blue any time by going to: https://www.beyondblue.org.au/get-support/talk-to-a-counsellor

It has been a few days since you posted this. How are you going at the moment? Have you had a chance to talk to anyone such as a friend or family member about what you're experiencing. Please feel free to share more information or just in general. We would love to hear more about what is going on for you.

Bob

Hi lisa

I am currently suffering from something very similar and it is causing me to have anxiety and mini panic attacks. I would say find someone that can help you, talking about feelings like this really helps. Keep your self busy as well that always works for me.
