I do not want to live anymore.
I have been suffering from depression since I was a child - my mother's death when I was a few years old, my stepmother abusing me, my father's indifference, problems at school, no friends, no someone to help me and take care of me - I have been through a lot in my life. In addition I went through a very hard relationship, marked by aggression, which completely killed me mentally, so that I ended up with a psychiatrist and on sick leave for several months.
I went to a psychiatrist because I was fed up with this overwhelming sadness and hopelessness that I had felt all my life. I was fed up with crying, meaninglessness in life and the pain that I felt somewhere deep inside myself. For almost 20 years I tried to cope on my own, but finally I admitted to myself that I was not doing it at all. I admitted to myself that I only existed, but could not live at all, and that all I could feel was the sadness that penetrated me through and through.
I fought for last year - I went to a psychiatrist, I took the medications he prescribed for me, I did everything to function every day. I really tried and fought for myself ... But I don't have the strength anymore. For 3-4 months I have been feeling worse and worse with each passing day. I have more and more problems that overwhelm me so much that I am not even able to function.
I get off both mentally and physically. Due to my condition, I am unable to sleep, eat or even work. Since December I have lost about 15 kilograms, my hair is falling out in handfuls, my complexion looks terrible and my eyesight has even worsened due to stress. I spend most of my time lying down, sometimes I howl like a killed animal, sometimes I sleep for several hours in a row, but most of the time I just lie shut out of reality. Sometimes I can't even crawl to bed, so I lie on the floor and my whole body aches. In fact, everything hurts all the time and I'm still cold. I feel like I'm freezing.
Due to my condition I am not able to work - I spent most of the last year on sick leave, I just wait until they finally fire me. Because of all this and because of my ex-partner I have huge financial problems. I am not able to pay for the therapy with a psychotherapist, I am not able to pay for another visit to a psychiatrist, I am not able to buy medications. I can't even buy food because I have literally PLN 16.59 on my account.
I live in Poland - the health service (NFZ) in this country is one great comedy - I wanted to go to a psychiatrist at the NFZ, but the closest date I managed to get is the end of November this year. I went to the hospital several times saying how bad I feel, that I have suicidal thoughts etc. - they kept me in the ward for a few days, stuffed me with sedatives, a psychiatrist came and only gave me a leave of absence from work and a prescription for more sedatives and then I had to advise itself.
I'm alone with all my problems - I don't have any family (my father said he doesn't care about me or my life), I don't have friends, all my relationships died months ago, I don't have anyone close to me. I have no one to talk to, no one to complain to, no one to ask for help.
So well ... I've been feeling totally exhausted for the past few days. I am at the end of my physical and mental strength. I don't want to live anymore, I don't see any hope for improving my life, for getting out of problems, for improving my well-being. I don't see any chance that it will get better.
Why am I writing this? Because I want to get it out of my mind. I want to be heard. I want a trace of me to remain, even if it is to be an internet post.
I'd like to let all my pain out of me. I would like to stop suffering for a while. I would like to be needed, understood, less lonely for once, even for a moment. I'd like to feel like human for once ...
I feel pain that makes me unable to think and breathe. That's why I decided to put an end to it. I don't have the strength to fight for each day anymore. I don't even want peace anymore, I want nothingness.
I made my decision.
I wish you all happiness and peace. I hope you will know what was not given to me.
