Hello, I hope this ok to post here. I suffer severe depression and crippling anxiety. Also agoraphobia and panic attacks. self harming thoughts. I'm very lonely. I struggle with anoxia and bulimia. I just don't know how to deal anymore.

Also I was severely abused by my ex husband and a guy I dated.

*reason for edit: Use of the 'S' word can be triggering for some members. We refer to this instead with self harm, as per the forum rules, thanks.

Hi Sailor Crystal and welcome!

I am sorry to hear of your challenges and past trauma. I know how difficult this is, and what a heavy burden it is to carry.

Are you now in a safe place? Are you currently being treated for your A/D and the self harming thoughts? I hope you have seen your doctor/therapist and are using available tools to help you manage...whether is by medication, therapy, self help...or optimally, a combination of these.

Please know that you have found friends and support here! We are always around to listen and encourage, so please read, respond...check out our Resources (top of the main forum page)...

...and post anytime!

Talk soon,

Thank you so much for the reply! I'm now in a very supportive and healthy marriage. He's my rock. I'm on Zoloft and Xanax as needed for the panic attacks. I just don't feel right...and I've seen 2 doctors and I don't feel like they're taking me seriously...I think about self harm constantly and I just don't know what to do (I k ow this probably sounds manic I'm sorry).

Have you informed your doctor specifically about your thoughts of 'S'?

You really need to be treated for this, and be taken seriously. It could be medication related...and adjustments can be made to keep you safe.

You can get a referral to a psychiatrist from your GP. Let him/her know of the thoughts you are having ASAP.

I am so glad to hear that you are in a stable and loving relationship now...

...but encourage you to get the help you need in order to be well, safe and feel your absolute best!
