Hi there,

I'm sorry to hear you're struggling so much right now, but I'm glad you felt able to come back here and ask for help.

Seeing your GP is the best idea right now, it'll hopefully get you some support and stop things escalating further. I know you say you've tried anit-depressants and a counsellor, but have you ever tried any other kind of therapy? For example; DBT or CBT? They can be really helpful with anxiety and depression (as well as suicidal/SH thoughts/urges). Perhaps it'd be worth asking, because these therapies allow you to gain skills which you can use long after the actual therapy finishes - which would hopefully stop things worsening again.

I know it can be disheartening to stop work because of anxiety (I also ended up leaving my job because of it - OH signed me off etc) and I've only recently been able to face looking for another. It's not the end of everything though, try to think of this break as time to work on yourself to hopefully stop this happening again :)

Did anti-depressants help last time? Would you consider them again?

It's the ups and downs of living life this way. Promise me you'll never go away. Just stay with me through one more night because it's always darkest before the light and now I promise you I'll never turn away. I won't let you give us one less heart to break...
