This is about my mental health, my slide into deep depression and suicidal thoughts. It’s like the frog in a pan of water. Slowly turning the heat up it stays there till it dies. Throw it into a pan of water it jumps straight out!
I had allowed pain, lack of sleep, and the final straw, withdrawal from antidepressants to overwhelm me for over a year. I had become deeply depressed to the point of feeling I no longer could live like this. My doctor referred me to the mental health team. I was seen relatively quickly but sooner is the way to go in the future. I was luckily caught in time.
I guess my message is don’t wait the moment you get thoughts of ending it seek help don’t wait or it may be to late.
Can’t express enough how grateful I am to my doctor and and therapist they have saved my life. I am now leading a depression and pain free life not perfect but that’s life. Please get help don’t put it off don’t wait.
