I really need to talk to someone. I feel so alone, so I came here because I know that there are others who are struggling like me. A couple of days ago I just about ended my life. I couldn't go on anymore. I took 4 xanax, 1 sleeping pill on top of my 1 prozac. Each time I am taking more and more pills. I am scared that I will take too many the next time. My fiance tried to wake me up 4 hours after I took the pills, by shaking me, putting water in my face and then he finally put me in the shower and turned cold water on me. I barely remember any of this. I am not sure how I got back in bed, but I slept 8 more hours before waking up. I was supposed to go to work that night, but didn't make it. Now I have no job. I am a registered Nurse who is supposed to help others in need, but instead I need help. I woke up this morning trying to decide if it was worth getting up. I hate this dark cloud around me. It is consuming me daily. I am going to seek counseling, it is my last resort. Thanks for listening to me.

Depression can really wallop us.

I am sorry you are feeling so poorly. But congratulations on seeking and finding this site to try to help yourself. There are a lot of great people here to provide support and understanding.

I hope you can talk to your doctor and/or therapist about these problems. Maybe a change in your prozac dosage is called for, or a change to a new med. As a nurse you are used to giving help, and I hope you understand that help is there to be received by you as well. You owe it to yourself to get the help you need to feel better.

Good luck and welcome here.

I am glad you will get counseling, in time it will help.
Try to hang in there till your appt. and come and talk to us whenever you wish, please hold on to the thought that brighter times come again, it is the waiting that is the hardest part. I say this from personal, true experience, I like many here have been to hell and back, and still sometimes have days, months, that we sort of find ourselves travelling near that road, with the help of supporters things can be a help and I have found many great people at this site that I am very thankful for, I feel confident you will meet many of these members here.
Please take care now,

DE

In giving advice seek to help, not please your friend
