So I feel like I'm on a slow spiral downward. Upped my meds, hasn't helped. I feel a little less every day. A little more disconnected. More tired. My mental/physical will to live is very low. Have a very real fear that one day I'm going to wake up and I'm still going to be in Georgia (8 years ago) and this has all been a dream and I have to do it again. Its kinda like I'm in limbo just waiting for the next thing and then it'll all come crashing down. Don't get me wrong, I'm not suicidal by any means just my actual will to keep going is diminishing and I don't know how much longer I can fake it. And I've been faking it for so long and done such a great job that most around me don't know there's a problem. *sigh* and its only Thursday. I'm pretty sure time is slowing down, every day feels like forever.

sorry you are feeling so helpless/hopeless. can u call your t? this is a good time to consider asking him for help. sometimes i would get like you are....stayed that way a long time before i got help. i can relate to the masking of what you are truly feeling. it takes so much mental energy for us to do that. it just beats us down more.
hope u feel better and that you'll consider calling your t.

Yes, sorry you're having such difficulties now. Putting the past behind can take a really long time, took me 35-50 years! It can get better though, just keep putting one foot in front of the other and looking for those who love you and can help and for any hope you can.
