Sorry you are feeling suicidal. I also get feeling that way. Try to not drink, and maybe try and sleep.

Hope you feel better.

Thank you Stigmata. It's helps to know that I'm not alone. X

Big hug for you Pad...… I would try and see your doc if you can.... Withdrawing from alcohol can cause a lot of anxiety as well it's a depressant so it's probably the opposite of what'll help you sweetie...… xo

Feeling overwhelmed and a mess all around, plus not eating is Very Hard! I've been there, at the moment due to incredible stress in my life I'm there again...only difference is I'm forcing myself to eat and drink fluids. Alcohol is a depressant, it also dehydrates your body...water is a Huge factor of health.

For me, I'm just trying right now to spend 5 minutes 'focused' on one area..mainly kitchen dishes and counter...I hope to have it completed by bed tonight...it's 5pm now where I live.

We can do a bit of tidy up together if you want...
me, I set my stove timer and sometimes I can do 5 minutes more...a good feeling. Hoping you'll be able to get some medical support too!

I am here to offer my support and sending you positive energy. It's okay if you feel that way, really. It's all okay. Just take one thing at a time. If you can get a bath in get a bath in. If you can put the bottle down, put the bottle down. No one is perfect and we all have our down times. Just do your best to act opposite to your emotion...do something opposite .like go ahead and eat something even if your not hungry (even if it's little) or watch a funny movie to help lighten your mood. Your doing great by reaching out.

I feel you 100 percent. I have been manic for like a month. But what goes up, must come down. And come down i did. I cant do anything rate now in regards to cleaning, conversating or anything. Thats what made me seek out support groups online. Hence, why I am here. What are some ways that everyone copes with depression?

reading, music, exercise, therapy, meds, essential oils, a long hot bath, calling a good friend, talking to pdoc or tdoc, getting online here and checking in and post a vent if needed, call helplines or go to the ER, progressive muscle relaxation, breathing exercises, dancing, laughing, singing, make something delicious to eat and savour every bite, mindfulness, CBT, DBT, , joining a local group for an activity that you love, finding a local support group to join, med adjustments with pdoc if needed....talk, talk and then talk some more.....come visit our virtual lounge (see post 'come unwind in the BP lounge) for chandelier swinging, ball pool play, repainting one of the rooms, sharing food and drinks without gaining weight or ever getting drunk! post some music or some random thoughts...and give and receive plenty of hugs.....just some ideas.
