Jan.
It does end, it does. I still never believe it myself, when I'm in the pit, I can say it to myself, but what I always believe is that "no this time its different, this time it won't go away. I've been to E.R. more than a few times for the same reason you are considering going tonight. If you are truly at risk to yourself, its the right thing to do. At other times, when I'm feeling absolute despair, but know deep down I won't hurt myself, I've found the hospital well, made things worse in a way, because I was looking for a solution that they were unable to offer. I wish I could offer advice on how to make the feeling go away, I can't, I've only ever found waiting it out to be the solution.
This might sound strange (or maybe not) but depending on how alone you really are (as opposed to how alone you feel) The hospital has been a help just because I got to talk to people in the same position, no judgement, and that innate understanding only other depressed people can offer.I wish I could say more, if I thought it could help. I just know that sometimes for me being reminded by someone whose been there, that yes, this feeling will pass does help a little.
Take care of yourself
and if you need more reminding I'm sure there will be 10 other people responding to your post tonight. It still surprises me how much the wonderful people here can touch you, through such an impersonal medium.
