Not sure where to start with this - feel like my life is falling apart, can't even see the tunnel for any light to be at the end of.  Am kinda hoping that having read some of the stories and kind friendly responses on here someone can understand.  

I had a (for me) major breakdown earlier this year, and after a couple of months off work, was starting to feel slightly more balanced.  The out of the blue everything got worse.   I shake constantly, stammer when speaking and have so much physical pain, it doesn't matter if am out walking the dog (he was got to get me out of the house more after my partner died) or sitting in the house quietly.  My head is such a loud loud place that doesn't give up.

 

Don't want to go on too much, not even sure about posting on here.  Part of me feels am a complete waste of time and really have had enough of it all, hate crying constantly.  

 

Is there really light at the end of the tunnel?

I am sorry that I don't know your name . My heart goes out to you; it really does. My user name says it all. "itgetsbetter". I chose that because like you I never ever thought /imagined that my life would ever be worth living, I would never laugh, be happy or just appreciate being "me".

Hand on my heart,; when well meaning people would tell me that i would be happy again; I never believed them as they hadn't been in my dark, lonely frightening tunnel. It was a truly horrible place to be.

My life is so wonderful now, it hasn't been easy and was a long path but with medication and a lot of self help I am now at the other end of that dark tunnel. 

You have done the right thing joining this group, it is so beneficial. I don't know if you could friend request me with you being an unregistered user. If you register, I could message you privately. 

I totally understand what you may be feeling from my own personal experiences . Talking really is one of the best tools plus it is free.

You really can do it and if you contact me , I will walk alongside you on your path of life, until you get to where you need to be.

Do something for yourself and register, it is free , no one knows you and all you will receive is much needed support and friendship of people like myself who have first hand experience.

Big hugs wrapped with love.
