I can't do this anymore, I don't know how to do it anymore - life. I feel surrounded by this dark gloom. I was so happy to see my old T and have him back in my life. I know he's there, I'm trying to hang on to that happiness I felt. But I can't.

The cess pool has gotten such a grip on me. I have such a hard time going to and staying at work. I can't deal with the pressures of my job, and life in general. I try to take one day, one hour at a time. Sometimes it works, most it doesn't.

I counted pills last week, and thought about that for awhile. For now, it's just thinking, but it's there. I'm trying everything I know to stay with the program, but for how much longer, I just don't know.

Sounds like you are under some pressure. Maybe take some time off work and recharge the batteries. It is good to take each day one step at a time and some days we need to take extra care.

Thinking of you. (((((((((( Mary Alice )))))))))))

(Tying a rope about your waist and tying it to the pier.) Depression does that. Quit counting and put the pills up. Tell yourself NOT NOW. You know you always have that option, but it's the depression that is telling you that you need it. You won't always feel this bad. Honest.

Use your T to get through...your T has your hope and trust him for it when you can't find your own.

Hi, my name is Greg. I just want you to know I feel your pain. I am in that pool with you. Please don't do anymore than count those pills. My brother-in-law decided tokill himself. He took a 38 to his head. Well it didn't work. He is now in a old folks home, parralized for life. Please try to rember that killing yourself is a permanit soloution to a temp. problem. I don't know if you believe in a higher being, but if you do, remeber we are here for a short time, then paradise. If you kill your self, you take the other door. I will shut up. Take care!!

Please see about going on disability Dear Person.

You are so sweet and kind ... I don't want anything to make life more difficult for you.

See your Dr about this serious issue. Print this out and take it with you, if you can.

Tell the Dr. you need disability ... you have to regroup and rest and gain perspective.

Make sure he/she listens. If they don't, find another who will.
Don't give up.
Keep fighting.

Love and Hope,
night

Greg, it's nice to meet you. Thank you for caring enough to respond to my thoughts. It's really difficult lately. I'm even tired of myself.

{{{{{{{night}}}}}}} such a sweet person you are. I am trying to get on disability now. My T has some papers that need sending in, and I will see him on Monday to check on it.

I can't handle work at all, and life in general is depressing. I just increased my Risperidone and I'll see how that goes. Thank you for caring.

It's just not getting better. I am having such unwarranted anger issues - the microwave beeped and I wanted to rip the door off by the hinges. It's bad.

I am trying to avoid work, and people are so rude (course, maybe it's just my paranoia working too). I am finding it incredibly difficult to cope.

Thanks everyone. Seems that my thyroid is low and it is possible that I am borderline diabetic. My numbers came in pretty high for that and my thyroid isn't managing my metabalism like it should. I have a doctor's appt. next month on the 14th.

Till then I just wait.
