Death (trigger)

[Tom]

Im so sick of this life. My wife thinks its her she dosent understand Im just so tired of life. Im 53 and there is nothing in life I want to do or continue on for. Antidepressants just made it worse. They ruined what little sex life I had left. My grandfather killed himself at 43 and was a congressman,attorney and still had nothing to live for. Why cant I feel normal??????????

Tom, I'm sorry you feel so badly. Please seek some counseling. You sound as if you are in a serious crisis. Please call a hotline and get he help you need.

Hello Tom,

Welcome to our forums. The people are very kind and caring and willing to give all the support them possibly can to you. I do hope you will receive that and continue talking/posting here.

Please know we aren't professionals and can only give support. Please tell your doctor your feelings, perhaps a change in meds, all I can suggest is to talk with him/her.

Hey Tom,

I left a message on my post where you replied. I would just like to add that going to meetings and talking about how you are feeling can feel scary but I have found I have had breakthroughs and my barriers come down and I slowly let people in by doing this. If you can't be real in a safe place like AA, where can you. Some meetings are more accepting than others so be a bit discerning. Also, venting on here is a great outlet and it got me through a stage when I couldn't even go to meetings when my social phobia got its grip on me. I also got some great counselling and it may be important to call a suicide help line. Sometimes I get tunnel vision and cannot see any options but when I reach out I find there are often 4 or 5 things I had not thought of. Let go and reach out mate and let AA love you back to life.
