I am almost "ripe". Going inpatient is around the corner for me. I can't cope any longer. I can't. I'm trying so hard to keep it together but I can't. I'm broken.
I will know when it's time. I just hope I won't be turned away.

Hi Maxime.I'm sorry that things have become so overwhelming for you. I know that whenever I reach these points, it seems like everything in the world is working against me. It is sometimes very difficult to select and identify specific issues that might be contributing to the crisis.
Is there anything else you can share that might help ease your mind and allow you to feel less alone?
You are fortunate to have the insight to know when it becomes necessary for you to go to the hospital. For the moment, are you having any thoughts of hurting yourself?

Is it the Adderal withdrawal? I want you to be safe. Go into the hospital if this will help you. Maybe this is a way to get a good alternative to the above. Fondly, Phillipa

Scott, thanks for caring. It means a lot as I feel very alone in this world. I always have thoughts of hurting myself. It's all I think about. I self-injure sometimes but that is not the same as being suicidal.
My family does not support me. I no longer have friends who support me. The friends I have left I do not talk to them about all of this because I don't want to lose any more friends.
Stress. Yes, the stress of feeling hopeless all the time. That there is nothing out there that will ever help me and that I will have to live like this for the rest of my life. I'm dead inside. I function. But inside I am dead. It's scary.
Work is stressful because I work with people who have no social skills. I hate going to work everyday. I have to work so hard to achieve what I do (as oppose to when I am not depressed). No one knows. They wouldn't care anyway.

I care Maxime. It's a shame that others can't be supportive. I've found myself that my kids and husband are no longer supportive, due to the length of my illness. When my daughter-in-law went through a psychotic depression and addiction to benos, my Son has supported her fully to the exclusion of his needs and their children's needs. She acts out and beats him, but he always supports, and forgives her. But, they don't have time to hear my problems so I just don't talk about them and pretend. It's a sad World we live in. Another reason I wish we really had a "Babble-Land", with all the good people we communicate with as residents of our World. Fantasy, maybe, but you can always hope! Fondly, Phillipa
