ain't it strange how you can change overnite. yesterday was bloody great, the past week has been good. today, lets forget today. the thoughts are erratic, i'm snapping at everyone, i know i'm doing it but i can't stop it. i realised earlier that at this time last month i should have been dead, i should not be here. it's not going to be a good day.

Hi Peter,

Sorry to hear that you are having such a bad time at the moment. Unfortunately depression is like that - we feel great for a day, a week or maybe more and then we slide down into that black hole again. It also has the power to make us say and do things we would not normally do.

You should be here and you should not be dead. You can beat this thing. Hang in there and just try to get through each day as it comes. Don't plan too far ahead, just do the best you can for the present day.

I hope you are feeling better soon.

Love and hugs from

pete,

hang in there hon, you're not alone, and please I never ever want you to be dead, you can beat this, try and hold onto your patience and your persistance, if not for you, for your daughters, it seems pretty obvious that they care so much about you..

Dear Petemoir

We are sorry you are feeling so distressed and acknowledge the urgency of this situation.

Please understand that Depnet is not an emergency resource and the sort of help you need cannot be found here. In addition, explicit expressions of an intention to self harm may be disturbing to other users who are also struggling with their illness.

It is very important that you contact a doctor and get appropriate help. Other Australian resources include Lifeline (13 11 14), 000, suicide helpline 1300 651 251 or your local emergency department.

We urge you to get offline help from a medical professional as soon as possible.
