Its like my mind builds up likè a volcano and then explodes, ive had a stressful week and my thoughts keep reaching the same conclusion, i wanna escape, i can’t hack this anymore. The situation i call my living situation is too difficult to manage. So i think about where can i go? Ive already lived in hostels, sofa surfed, lived in hospital for nearly 2 years, supported living. Now past 5 years im in a flat with my husband but its not good, i keep reaching breaking point. But thats me isn’t it, the problem would follow wherever i go. I can’t cope being me

So do I. I feel trapped. But I’ve got nowhere to go. And like you said, my problems would only follow me anyway.
Is there anyone other than your husband you can talk to? Can you get set up with a psychologist?

Theres zero chances of me getting therapy because there aren’t any available where i live

I’m sorry to hear that. Did they give you anything to take for emergencies? If not you should enquire about it.
@everhopeful have you any support from family or mh services?
Yes i do

No I don’t really. I see my psychiatrist once every 6 months for about 10 minutes and that’s it. I’m considered “stable”. I used to have a social worker at the beginning (14 years ago!) and we’d meet up for a coffee once a week. But nothing now.

I assume your single and live alone because you never mention anyone else
I think we share things in common as you always seem to relate to what i write
I hope you have some peace of mind today and can enjoy something, ive just put tv on and took a Diazapam and tidied, i can’t stand mess. Hopefully will go out tomorrow for some fresh air.

Do you go outside much? @everhopeful
No, only when necessary really. I’m content staying in though, so it’s ok. I get everything delivered!

It helps me getting out for an hour every couple of days, hubby takes me out. I would think if you set yourself a goal to go out and get fresh air it may help with the trapped feeling a bit.
But i struggle so i don’t know

Thanks @anon29983254 . I’m sure I’d feel better if I went out a bit more. I’ll consider it.
It’s good that your husband takes you out. I’m very glad that’s happening.

If you feel you need someone to talk to start with yourself by writing whatever you want into your personal private journal which can be any electronic word processor or notes app or just a paper notebook. It works for me. If I need to hear myself think out loud I just write what I’m thinking. Try it. The end result is more insight and let me share this… Insight leads to wellness @Ducky .
