Hey Hi
Hey Hi
Hey- Just reaching out- just wondering if there are others like me. I've fallen into a dark hole and can't seem to make my way out of it. I don't know what happened or why, just know when it escalated. Which was about this time last year. Things seemed to keep getting really depressing- I had to get my parents in a new senior residence- my dad has alzheimer's- etc. And my husband lost his job and driver's license that same time- so basically had to drive him everywhere. With criticism. Anyway- I don't know what's wrong with me- I have to see someone like a psychiatrist or therapist- but can't seem to do it- I mean it's just become a tormentous horrible routine of trying to sedate and still wanting to be normal again.
I don't know where the normal went.
I was sent to the hospital back on October 3rd cuz I couldn't sleep and ended up taking a bottle of- well 17 pills of ambien with alcohol- I was then sent to a psychiatric facility and was only there for five days-when I came home my husband was in his routine of going out to bars and basically I stayed home.
Please no judgements- I'm here to just get in a better place.

So, Hi
Welcome back, and I'm sorry you're struggling. Talking to a therapist could be a good idea for you. It might also be an idea to talk to your dr about the possibility you are depressed.
There is a way out of the dark hole.

I don't know where your normal went, either. You've given a lot of clues, but I can't put them together. This is going to be your task, and off hand, I'd say you need to get yourself a professional counselor. I'd be interested if you would keep us informed during the journey ahead. I wish you the best and hope you find your way.
