So I stumbled upon this site last week, after a failed attempt at ditching my prescription meds left me with headaches and nausea like you have no idea. Have started re-taking them, but really not for any other reason than to prevent the headaches and sickness happening again, I don't believe the pills are really doing anything anyway.
I don't want to ramble on with my story, it's not disimilar to everyone elses, had a dream and it failed and now i'm living in the remnants, a kind of non-existance where I wake up everyday, do a perfectly average job i'm not very good at, get drunk on weekends, and nothing ever seems to change. I've attempted twice, both times stopped by police and sectioned, most weekends I have a crap time not living life to as well as I probably should be for someone my age, wake up on Saturday/Sunday mornings hungover with surface cuts all over my arms.
And the process repeats, over and over and over. I haven't considered myself to have anything even relating to a long term future, seriously I think the most is about a month or two in advance. I don't think ahead because deep down I hope one day I will just snap, that the utter futility and emptiness of who I am as a person and the life I'm living will finally get the better of me, and I will finally go through with it.
I've spoken to counsellor and nothing, got a job and nothing, went out and socialised and nothing, it's not that I don't really want to get better, it's that I just don't think it's possible for me too. I've basically given up.
