I do not plan to act on these thoughts, but they still weigh heavily on me.
Does anyone else experience these types of days, and if so, how do you deal with them? |
I experienced them when I was severely depressed and had intense anxiety attacks as well. I wished that God would take me back to Him. But then I knew it was wrong to wish death...I have to fight...I confronted my psychiatrist and he prescribed a new category of drug(snri) which helped to lift the dark phase a lot. Now I don't wish for death yet.
However those days were really terrible. I don't know how I survived. I waited for the med to take its effect and tried to follow my daily scheduled tasks, even if I could accomplish only 5-10%. One of my friends here in PC helped a lot. He would regularly chat with me and give me hope.
