Light therapy

Has anyone had any luck - or even tried! - light therapy/heliotherapy? That is, sitting in front of a special daylight simulator or 'SAD lamp' for a prescribed amount of time per day. I have read from reputable sources that this can be as effective as medication, for rebalancing brain chemistry, not...

Hi Nina Could you not get a doctor to help fight your corner with you and your folks? It might help to add some professional weight to your words. Making assumptions about your motives and not taking your health seriously sounds dangerous to me. Would they be so belligerent if you had an identifiabl...

Hi janmac62 I do so know what you mean. It's not a case of "I don't want to" but rather "I simply can't". Then things start piling up around me, guilt and shame overwhelm me, distress comes a-calling and lately I've been reaching for the vodka, which makes things 1000 x worse. No...

Just thought I would say hello, because it was quite important for me to know I had made contact (and was not judged, rejected and despised - I will have to face up to my BPD tendencies one day!) when I posted, in despair, yesterday. It was a relief to be able to say what I was feeling without the s...

Hi Camaro So identified with your post. I too feel like I am giving up the fight. I too self harm and am deeply ashamed of the marks on my arms and stomach now. I also feel like ending it but am too scared of pain, death and messing up my children (I have dragged three people into this circus, which...

Thanks for the reply. I don't know what I am escaping from. I wish I knew. In fact, I don't think it is escape anymore. I think it has become a form of self harming and a path to oblivion. I have to deal with the alcohol fallout instead of the void that I cannot comprehend. Also, those around me get...

Going downhill now

I suppose this is a bit of a cry in the dark. My first post made me feel better; reading the blogs made me feel connected. But now I suddenly feel exposed and absolutley lost in fear abd misery again. it came like a tidal wave just as I was feeling really positive about getting help. Why is it that ...

Shame

Hi Sorry to hear you are having a rough time. Well, you are definitely not alone. I just posted my story but felt I had to agree with the not wanting to tell others about my depression either. I am so paranoid that I worry about my kids being taken away, even though they are well cared for. Or I fea...

Hello

Hello. I am a new member. A bit lost and alone, my need to make contact and understand what is going on with me has led me here. I am a 37 year old mum of two. Outwardly I have the perfect life but it's all pretty dark and hopeless on the inside. After 18 years of struggling with my "selfish, d...
