Not coping

[Mel__F]

Hello out there, I don't know why I feel so empty and I never thought I would be talking about it

why am I so sad I have everything that's important in life a great husband been together 30 years 3 amazing kids from 26 to 22 but don't feel like I have no place,, I am always trying to make people happy, I'm always the one who does the rite thing, but why do I feel like it's my time to leave this place? I don't like going out and feel super empty, I just want to be on my own and cry,I know it's wrong but feel the need to drink to take away the pain, I wish I could be a better person I hate myself. Anyone who knows me thinks I'm a happy contented person,,so far from the trueth,such a silent pain

Hello Mel

How are you going? I see you have decided to see a GP. Good! If you are having difficulty finding a GP with mental health skills look at the tabs at the top of the page. There is a list of GPs which is searchable by postcode.

As many of the replies say, you are a worthwhile person. Everyone is worthwhile but that does not make you any less valuable. Try to be kind to yourself. I know that sounds silly because your default thinking says you must carry on regardless. But try anyway.

I hope you get to visit a doctor soon.

Regards

Mary

Hi Mel

I am so glad to hear that you are making the first step and going to make a doctor’s appointment and you should congratulate yourself for that, just even making that decision to make that appointment is a huge step.

I truly do hope you can find a GP that will listen to you and that you can open up with.

I was reading somewhere that after your first appointment with your doctor you should make sure you reward yourself for taking the first step that could be treating yourself out to coffee or lunch or even watching your favourite movie, it is just a way to congratulate yourself for taking the first step and you deserve it.

Please take care and let us know how you are going. And remember you are worthwhile.
