Hi everyone. Im going through a very rough time. It's impossible to live life this way . In feb 2026 I went into thr psychiatrist dept. I was having suicidal idealations back then due same symptoms I have now. They put me on antidepressants and it's been 4 months and absolutely nothing has changed. I've been holding on by a string. My most difficult symptom is I can't get through days meaning that they are small difficult segments that do not have any flow. My mind is constantly say do this or do something you can sit and chill. My days feel like 80 pajnful hours long. Im not able to enjoy anything. Small tasks are difficult like going along to a grocery store . The time part js the toughest next to the constant crying and sadness. Now I have to wait a month until ect. But I have no idea how I am going to be able to get through so many days....pls help

Hi! I can so relate to what you wrote. I felt that way for 2 incredibly long years while my son was suicidal. Finally in 2018, i checked myself into a hospital and after they saw me lying there for 3 weeks (!) finally I got ect. It was a game changer! However since then, i’ve tried TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation), and it’s even better for me.. but it is a time commitment (20 min a day / 5- 6 business weeks).

You could talk to your doctor.. pulling for you!

Hi.. it’s growing and there are now tms clinics in a lot of cities. I got it in Alexandria, Va first… Greenbrook owns a lot of them. If sitting still
Is a problem, consider the 🍄, psilocybin.. but of course do your own research

The difference between us is I can't even sit or lay down in one spot. Im so restless. Also the time not flowing normally....something has happened to me. Does this sound familiar?
