Whirlwind Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Remove yourself from the situation you're in. Seek help from anywhere, even if you don't feel you can. Talking and finding some support will be hard but you will get through it and start seeing there is a way. X Link to comment
bruces Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 I take meds and a see a psych nurse regularly I just never seem to feel any better. Link to comment
Whirlwind Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Is she or he an OCD specialist? X Link to comment
bruces Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 No he's just a psych nurse but the depression is probably worse than the ocd at the minute Link to comment
ACE Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I'm sat here thinking how I can get out of this mess but I don't see a way which ever direction I look I've accepted I can't do my trade but can't see another direction to go in. Bruces it's so lcear you're too depressed to be doing your trade/job/profession right now,it's very clear also your meds don't seem to be helping you at all&you've been on them quite a while is that true?.I understand the pain you're in clearly&the hell you're constantly experiencing and it's so unfair.I think you should go to either your Dr or someone else and just seek if you can to have extra treatment,seek to have different meds asap anything at all that may help you my friend.

Guest OhThatCd Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Hello Bruce don't worry things always can get better at any moment. The Ocd is always haunting us at the back of our head we don't have to fear it it's not more powerful than us. There is nothing wrong with being depressed, no need to fight it it's like the fall season leafs falling but only to prepare you for the spring. Spring will come bruce don't lose hope just experience it will pass like the winds. Link to comment
bruces Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 I'm not so sure spring is going To come this time it's been an awfully long winter. Link to comment
bruces Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 I think I've reached the conclusion life just doesn't suit me!! After all it can't suit everybody! Link to comment
bruces Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 The funny thing is I feel lost I just don't know what I want ! Link to comment
Guest jayjay89 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Hey Bruces, I was in the same spot - a bunch of suicide attempts, years of therapy, no hope. But then yesterday everything just clicked for me, I'm not fixed, or even any better, but now I have a direction and some hope. Hang in there Link to comment
bruces Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 What clicked and what happened? Link to comment
Guest jayjay89 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 For me, it was the realisation that even my drs and shrinks couldn't help me (they even admitted that!!) Then I had two choices, work out what I could do about it, or jump in front of a train. I have to say the train option was very attractive haha. Everyone is different, so I don't want to tell you exactly what I realised, because it probably won't apply to you - but something will. You just gotta wait it out. Link to comment
bruces Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 I've reached the same conclusion I don't believe doctors or councellars can fix me not can I fix myself,what is do for life to have an off button!!! Link to comment

bruces Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 I've never stayed in a hospital but I wouldn't like to either Link to comment
whitebeam Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Hi bruces My career was in teaching - but for various reasons I wanted to find a different career path. I got a job through an agency - totally different (call centre work) but I got to love it ....then OCD exploded, lost said job and was out of work for 8 years. When I felt ready to return to work....i felt I was virtually unemployable with no recent or tangible skills to offer and no idea of what I might want to do. I was advised to volunteer - this gave me a gentle part time return to the place of work, in a sphere I had no experience - but I gained enough experience after a couple of years and now work full time in admin in the same organisation and love it. You probably can't change your career path overnight, but there are possibilities to switch - job agencies for temping, 'back to work' courses and volunteering - all of which helped me. Give it a go, bruces Good luck, mate :original: Link to comment
bruces Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Everything's seems to have become pointless Link to comment
Guest jayjay89 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I was totally with you there 3 days ago. But there is a point - you just need to find out what your 'point' is. Your therapists and drs haven't given up on you - don't give up on yourself Link to comment
bruces Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 To be honest I just don't think I can be bothered anymore Link to comment
bruces Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Why keep fighting when things never change Link to comment
Guest jayjay89 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I know exactly how you feel. And I really hope that you can hang in there until things start to get easier. One thing I will say though - its easier to keep living than to kill yourself. To keep living all you have to do is not kill yourself. To kill yourself you have to go through all this malarkey AND THEN YOU MIGHT NOT EVEN DIE!!! Trust me - being woken up by Dr's in ICU being told its a miracle you are alive happens. And it certainly doesn't make you feel any better Link to comment
bruces Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 I just need rest it's too much hard work !! Link to comment
bruces Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 I'm nearly 40 years old and I'm just a total screw up,what is the point honestly? Link to comment
