First of all I wish to thank everyone whos replied. It helps to hear from people honestly. I don't really have anyone to talk to who understands. So thanks a lot for being there to listen and by simply replying. I finally fell asleep at 7 in the morning and woke up at 11:30. But I've been keeping it low key today and trying to relax as much as I can like everyone has been saying. I still feel pretty horrible, but I'm trying my best. It's good to hear I'm not hated. Sometimes I think I need people to say stuff like that to help keep my mind straight. I still feel paranoid but it defiantly helps to hear that. So thank you all for clearly saying I'm not. I'm sure you all can understand. I'm happy I found this forum for support and I'll keep posting.

Didn't think of trying melatonin before... I might have to buy some and see how that goes. I'm a little nervous on taking things given the meds I'm on, but if you take it I see no reason for it to be bad.

I can learn a lot from you.

I'm sorry to hear about your time in the hospital... I completely understand about being overwhelmed and being sent to the hospital. I was first diagnosed after a huge depressive episode where I tried to kill myself by overdose. I wouldn't say I've mastered it. I'm slowly getting better. It's still quite hard. If you need someone to reach out to feel free to message me. It seems we have some things in common.

You'll find friends here that help. I did.

The same goes for both of you, if you need someone to talk to I'm here. It feels kind of strange people thanking me for sharing. I'm kind of used to people not caring so much. So thank you as well.
