*hugs* I'm sorry you're going through this right now, but I'm glad your mum is there to support you. I know it can feel sufficating but she is doing what is in your best interest. Try and remember that she is doing this out of love, she isn't trying to hurt you.
Do you have any other support at the moment? A psychiatrist/councelor/psychologist? If you do could you tell them how you're feeling? If not do you think seeking help is something you're willing to do?
What's making you depressed right now love? Is there something in your life that's making you unhappy, or making your unhappiness worse? Stress at school, family problems, friend problems?

Stay safe hun, were here to listen and support you

How is the NHS not helping? Do you have a CPN or a psychiatrist you can talk to?

Cacoethes 25-05-2009 07:04 PM

i know how you feel
when i was very ill, my mum watched me every second, slept in my bed etc
its frustrating, but she is only doing it because she cares.
*hugs*

I understand how horrible it is when you know that people are worried about you, but you are obviously worth it or your Mum wouldn't care about you at all. Why do you still want to OD?

loo-loo 25-05-2009 08:43 PM

cuz i don't want to be alive basically. i just arent worth life and don't deserve to be here and dont want to be

everyone it worth life. i can understand how that would be annoying, but as you said, she is only doing it as she cares for you. she obviously thinks you're worth it. i'd keep working with the crisis team. it's better than being on your own. *hugs* pm me if you ever need to talk.

Your Mum obviously wants you to be here - that is why she is keeping a watch on you. It's bound to be stressful for her but that shows she cares. Can you try to get your appt. brought forward?

i struggled with the crisis team too but theh can take the preassure off your mum, by keeping an eye on you and it can mean that it loosens the preassure on you.
i know your in a dark place and death seems like the only option, but things can improve, i od'd 9 weeks ago and i thought i'd never get out of that depression but im getting there.
if your notunder the crisis team's care anymore you should be able to move your appointment forward

Geranium 27-05-2009 01:08 AM

That's good that you are seeing them in a few days. I expect it may feel a long time if you are so low but take it day by day.
