Feeling desperate to make this stop

Hi there, this is my first post which is really scary. Anyway I am not good feeling really depressed and anxious . I have tried everything psychiatrists, psychologists. Mental health nurses. Medication , I even spent 4 weeks in mental hospital to have tms which obviously didn’t work . Anyway feeling like life isn’t worth living . I feel like I have had enough of this battle called life . No matter what I try nothing works . I couldn’t be more of a joke and a waste of space really what’s the point I am never going it get better . Do people ever truly get better?

Dear Lilly

I wish I could ring you but that’s not allowed so please ring one of the emergency numbers and talk to someone. Could you share about the fight you have had as it might make you feel better?

I am here to listen and support you if I can, however,I it sounds like you need more than that tonight. Be brave and reach out. Don’t suffer in silence.

My thoughts & prayers are with you xox

With love & hugs your forever friend Jojo 🌻

Dear Lilly,

Sorry for being absent - I didn't want to intervene.

But please please do as Jojo suggests. We are there with you, you can do it.

Dear Lilly

You have been on my mind, however, I have been out and about with my friend Wayne.

Hope you are feeling better than last night. Did you end up ringing one of the emergency numbers? I have rung Lifeline a few times and found them to be very good.

Stay safe xox

With love & hugs

Dear Jojo,

Hope you had a nice day with Wayne .

No I am not good sorry . Same as last night . Tonight I am home alone . My family haven’t come home or answering phones . Actually not sure what to do atm. Thoughts keep coming , trying to keep busy . But it’s not helping . Still beating myself up .

I did phone a for help last night but had to hang up quickly .

Feeling really emotional and anxious . I can’t continue feeling this bad. Not sure what to do . It’s going to be a long night fighting this .

Dear Lilly

Sorry things are still not going well for you and your family are giving you grief.

Can you try counting to distract yourself? Try counting from 500 backwards to 0?

Did you have a look at that app I mentioned- Happy Colour? I’m doing a dragonfly now and the wings are beautiful colours just like the real thing. It’s quite a hard one as there are a lot of small areas to colour, but very enjoyable.

Thinking of you xox

With love & hugs 🤗

Dear Jojo ,

I have downloaded the app. Trying to focus on a flower .

I wish my family would come home. Don’t know what I could be capable of on my own . Very panicked

Dear Lilly

Try and concentrate on colouring the flower. However, if you feel unsafe please please ring one of the emergency numbers.

Do you know where your family are?

Could you take a sick day tomorrow and go to your GP? Put your health first Lilly. It’s not weak or selfish it’s taking responsibility for how you are feeling.

Take good care of yourself xox

With love your forever friend Jojo 🌻
