Monday, February 04, 2008 at 01:23 PMI have felt like that so many times. I used to wake up every morning thinking that today would be different, and then within a few minutes, something would happen and I would give up and crawl back in bed. I have taken handfuls of sleeping pills hoping to not wake up. I got help because my husband said he would take our son and leave if I didn't. I went to 4 counselors and 3 psychiatrists before I found the right one. I know that getting out of the house is the hardest step. I wish I could tell you that it gets easier right away, but it doesn't. You just can't give up on yourself. No matter how sad or worthless you feel.

thanks for responding, today is another bad day, when I woke up this morning I was determined to make this a new day and be strong, that lasted about 5 minutes. I have completely cut myself from the outside world, I suffer from panic attacks so severely that I won't even go to the mailbox, I can't seem to climb out of the black tunnel, I get really mad at myself for being like this but it is so overwhelming and I feel helpless, worthless and I don't know what to do. Over the years I have seen several Dr's have been on many different meds, sometimes I just want to go to sleep and never wake again. Did you ever feel like this, how do you handle day to day survival
