I have no energy anymore

I have nothing to live for, my psychiatrist put me on another pill when I went in to complain about and change the medication I’m on. Now I’m all doped up and nothing is changing. My ex is sending me videos of her with other guys. I’m so sad. I told my gp I’m suicidal and all he said was lower my dose of medication and wait 4 weeks. No one cares. I’m alone. I have nothing.

Hi bailey basil

Talking on the phone js hard for a lot of ppl. I was more scared of going in to the hospital, so found it easier for me.

Would just encourage u if u felt comfortable to look up the number of Ur local triage.

I also had friends call once on mh behalf. I told them I was thinking of suicide and they called for me.

They also have catt teams which is when they send ppl fro, the Mental Health team to talk to u in Ur home.

Or they call and check on u for a few days. Ur gp or psych can also give u the number, I'm sorry tha they don't care generally and aren't there for u. It can feel even lonelier when ppl who are meant to help and listen are cold or dismissive.

Hi Baileybasil,

Thank you for sharing your story with us here. We are sorry to hear that things have been so difficult for you.

If you would like to talk to someone but prefer to not speak over the phone, the Beyond Blue Webchat service is available from 1 pm-12 am AEST via our website: www.beyondblue.org.au/getsupport.

Alternatively, we also encourage that you chat with one of the friendly counselors at Mensline via their online chat service here: https://mensline.org.au/phone-and-online-counselling/

We hope that you will be able to connect to one of our friendly counselors and that you will be able to talk through these feelings.

If thoughts of self-harm or suicide have in fact returned to you today and if you feel like acting on those thoughts, then this is an emergency, and you should call 000 immediately.

Please know that you never have to go through this alone, and support is always here for you.

 

I don't know if I have the energy to try anymore, every day is a chore.

I've had bad experiences on chat services and rarely have even reached someone when I've been very low.

Hello Baileybasil, as much as many people find chat lines to be extremely helpful, the only problem is that you have to talk with someone different each time, which means telling your whole story all over again which may be frustrating.

If you use an online service you may be able to address how you are feeling to one particular person who will always get back to you when they're working or will come back to you, then you don't have to repeat your problems to someone else.

You won't need to say much, they will understand how you're feeling and ant to help you through this.

Hope this does help you.

Geoff.

Hi Bailey Basil

I fully understand

Triage is a medical safety thing. I was just suggesting u find the no and put it jn Ur phone,

Who knows, it's a good safety net. U don't have to do anything u don't want to...and good to know if chat services don't work for u, Def can relate
