My life has slipped away too. Its very sad.
Its the utter feeling of hopelessness.This is really why I think about suicide so much is because I have no controll over my mental health.
Oh sure the meds will bring some relief, but at what cost?? They certainly don't help the depression.HEre's another analogy. You have your hand on a hot burner. It hurts. Some doctor comes up to you and says: "the reason you're feelig pain, is because you have an endorphen imballence problem, take some opiates and this will correct the abnormal signalling in your brain and bring relief"
So you get yourself addicted to the pain killers,
and you've convinced yourself that the pain is "all in your mind" and has nothing to do with the fact that your hand is still on a burning plate.As a result, one sustains SIGNIFICANTLY more dammage than if you listened to the pain signals and responded to them properly in the first place. PLUS the rebound pain sensitivity of opiate withdrawl.
I tried their ways, and my problems have come full circle. They want me to ride the rolller coaster once more, but I think I'd rather get off.
But like I said, hindsight is 20-20. Complaining aint going to get me anywhere.
