    Tomorrow  is my last because  it's not working the lady has escalated me to a waiting list to see an OCD specialist.  I'm just getting  worse and worse. I had a drink again . Today I've spent the whole day walking and I feel so very anxious. And my memory and confusion are unbearable  I just don't know where to turn. I forget everything  it's so distressing and I then have a panic attack  because  I forgot everything  again. Constant distress  can't   do this very much  longer.
    I wish it was all over

    It means you are self-aware, bud.  It may not feel like a good thing, but better to have that than not.

    Have you tried journaling, writing as a release, just for yourself?  Get a punching bag, spend time with animals, meditate, anything - no matter how small - you might not have attempted before?

    If not, keep letting it out here if it helps.  We're all pulling for you.

    Thank you everyone it makes me tearful that people care.i spent the whole day outdoors in nature. I sat here last night felt like it all happen 2 days ago.  It's fuckin soul destroying that it's gone as soon as I did it . I've  woken up 4am with my daughter  and dark thoughts can't stop. I want this all to end now

    I was moved to tears  by a group of my polish on can friends . They put money together  to pay for my pj ticket to Krakow. I love these people and they have been my friends  for quite a while. Yesterday  my councillor  said she would have to call the mental health  crisis team because  she was concerned about my well being but as she didn't  think i would take my life that day she didn't  call them in the end. I try again today. But woke bad. 
    My polish  friends na zdrowie  .  Xx

    In all honesty it didn't  work as I hoped. I can't  do anything . I walked like 6 hours in total. I'm a lost cause my brain doesn't  work like it did and it's worse . I feel  like nobody from the health care system hears my symptoms . I'm distressed  to the point of wanting it all to end now

    If you are really feeling that distressed and are contemplating ending it, please do as TA says, and get yourself to a hospital immediately, and tell them you're having suicidal thoughts.
    I'm sorry things are so hard right now.
