I'm sick of feeling this way

I'm feeling super depressed at the moment. I am really trying to get better but I don't know if I'll be able to any longer. 

I want to reach two weeks of being clean but at the rate I'm going I don't think it's going to happen. I'm just sick if feelings this way.

I have been battling depression as self harm for around two years now and I sometimes get better for a month or two but it gets bad again. I just need someone to talk to..

Hi Riot, you have support & I know how tough it can be as I stupidly tried to end my life last week & ended up in hospital over night but when I was discharged I realized how beautiful life is. I don't know your personal circumstances or what demons your battling but just remember we'er all here to help, listen, so be strong & takecare.

Hi Riot

Very sorry to hear that you are going through a bad patch at the moment.  But as Violet Eyes has said, we are here if you want to talk.  And, I think it is important to talk with people that understand what you are going through.  That makes most of us on this forum.

Can you tell us a little bit more about your own circumstances.  HAve you seen a doctor, and are you on medication?  Do you have a support network of family or friends.  Tell us anything that you feel comfortable with sharing.

Take care, and please let us know that you are OK.

Thank you for the support. I means a lot to me. I did end up relapsing in the end but I'm alright now.

I'm not on any medication or anything like that but I have spoken to a counsellor a few times. I just think sometimes it would be easier to bottle up my feelings and not tell anyone.

Thanks again for the support
