I understand where you’re coming from, as someone who is suffering a lot with TRD, killing your self feels very promising, like it will remove all your issues, I get it, I tried to several times a few years ago but somehow, the depression was able to lift somewhat

#

I don’t know how to explain it

#

You gotta keep trying treatments

#

Be very open with your doctor about what’s going on

#

Ask them about treatment options

#

I get it I’m in the same boat

#

It’s so tough, because you want it all to go away, you want to restart, you want to go back to better days, I dwell sometimes too don’t worry it’s so normal for people with mental health issues

#

But you gotta call your provider

#

Tell them what you have and haven’t tried in terms of meds and treatment options including therapy

#

Therapy is there to manage symptoms not exactly treat, so start there

#

Ask your provider to do a referral for a diagnostic by a psychologist

#

once that’s done, get going on treatment that the psychologist suggests

#

When you know what you have it opens up your understanding and can help you on the path to better well being

#

If there’s firearms in the house get rid of them

#

good, and I’ll be honest with you, when I was at my very worst, I had to get sent to the psych hospital and they referred me to a program, in patient

#

well multiple times

#

but I’ll be honest with you, something is going to help

#

I’ve done it all, ECT, TMS, Ketamine, every medication

#

I am also at a dead end

#

but you gotta be super open to your provider

#

Because inside you there is someone probably screaming to get help

#

and by someone I mean your subconscious

#

#

show what?

#

I get it, I’ve repressed a lot of my emotions for a long time

#

like a chameleon blending in

#

it’s normal with mental health issues

#

You don’t wanna seem awkward to the outside world

#

I highly recommend you turn on music, anything you used to enjoy, or currently enjoy, and take a walk, doesn’t need to be brisk, doesn’t need to be long, doesn’t need to be a special place to walk

#

Just look around

#

and just feel the emotions

#

just feel it, don’t even try to suppress it, keep breathing, slow, or normal, but don’t shorten your breath

#

if you feel panic then feel it

#

don’t try to hide it, if you feel anxiety then by all means feel it, but move, walk, look around you, if a bunch of memories pop up then remember them but don’t judge them

#

I’ve been having to do that lately

#

Get in contact with your provider and discuss everything, what you’ve tried what you haven’t, and ask for help be honest because I promise you if you aren’t honest, it does bite back.

#

I know how you feel I’ve been through it
