I can't do this

i cannot do this.  I am hurting physically. I am feeling terrible because of Lamictal withdrawal. I am feeling very defeated. I'm also so broke that I'm having to give up internet. I feel like a big huge failure. I don't really want to live anymore. But I don't believe in suicide, either. So I am stuck in living H***

Hugs to you, I know there are times when life gets really tough, when you feel like the entire universe is against you, but things will get better, just keep moving forward. Take it one day at a time! Life is hard at times, but look around and find the smallest things to be grateful for, that helps me when I am feeling defeated...Lifting you up in prayer!!

I just feel like giving up, you know?? I have my phone, so I can still jump on the internet, but it isn't the same!!! I am getting ready to go to bed. Maybe God will come and get me in my sleep. I am SOO ready.

I hope today has brought about more positive things. I hate to know you are feeling so bad. Maybe some rest is in order. It is hard to come off of any of these meds we take. Im wishing the best for you and you are in my prayers!!

Hello tc40,
I can feel your anguish. Have you checked with your Doc to see whether or not there's something that can aid in coming of your meds? Coming off can cause severe depression and anxiety like you're experiencing. Are you coming off slowly, or "cold turkey"? That can even be worse. I wish I had some more information... your age; situation; are you seeing a counselor? According to list.ly/Troubled_With/lists, #6 in the list in "Looking up from the stubborn darkness", you may be showing signs of depression. There's some great info in there that you may want to take a look at. Until then, I'll keep you in my prayers.
