Is this it for me? How much longer can I hold out?

Question

I don't know how much more I can take. Medicine does nothing for me. I'm 23, feeling like there's  nowhere to go. I see the pain of others, but no one ever sees mine. At this rate, I'm either going to commit some kind of offense just for someone to notice, or I'll end it all myself. It's horrible, feeling your mind on the verge of insanity from sheer pain and loneliness and knowing that no one will see it. Please, someone help me. I just need some help, please. I honestly don't know how much longer I'm going to last.

Answer 1

Hi darling. I feel your pain. Frustrating, isn't it? I really want to help you. I don't know why, but I feel like I need to help you. I'm quite anxious for you. I want you to talk to me. Please also consider talking to a helpline or a counsellor. You are on the edge, so I want you to talk to a professional because I want you to realise that you are not alone and that you CAN get help and get better. I have faith in you and I just know that you will get better one day. So don't give up. Please.

Thank you. It's a big help knowing someone answered me. I'm going to speak to a psychologist within the week and hope for the best. Thank you so much for the kind words.

No problem darling. I'm so glad that you are getting help! This is a good step forward and you are on the road to recovery. The more support you have, the better. You are most welcome and I wish you all the best. I'm always here if you need me :)

I'm writing this in April 2014 - just seen your cry for help whilst I was looking for help of my own.

I feel the same way - I seem too sensitive for this world & care about everybody & everything I see - are we maybe wanting to fix others problems as a way of fixing our own or wanting to feel needed?

Are you OK now?

I'm also here in April 2014. I am a fixer. I love and feel the pain of everyone around me but no one feels my pain.  Then sometimes I just feel nothing... just nothing. This has happened to me before and I was so afraid that someone would find out and take my kids because I was crazy.  I do cry out to God and he helps me through from moment to moment but am I not worthy of someone caring for me? My husband is so delicate with his emotions that I can't even talk about my insecurities because he can't handle it.
