I'm new to this community and I'm desperate! I can't turn off my brain and I've hit a new low of depression. Asked for advice from another community and was wished well. Need to know how to turn off my brain. Have the pill bottles lined up in front of me cuz I don't know what else to do-can't take the pain,physical or emotional. Don't feel that I have the right to be here-just taking up space!

I was faced earlier this year with flying to my daughters and I was not ready for the trip. I broke down and isolated because I didn't dare ask her to let me postpone the trip. Every problem that could possibly go wrong raced thru my mind justifying my reluctance. And there were other things bothering me too. I finally talked to her and paid the airline fee to reschedule and felt so much better. I made the trip 2 months later and it was great.
Make a list of the scariest things in your life and talk to a crisis worker or ER nurse. Please
