Having Body Aches, Feels Like Lump In The Upper Back. Sleeplessness In Nights, Suicidal Tendency, No Interest In Family. Suggestions?
i ve been tired for so long. every day my body aches, my upper back feels like it has a knot in it. i don t want to do anything anymore. i have no interest in anything except sleep. i stay up all night and cannot sleep, then sleep away the day....when i wake up i feel guilty for being so worthless. i put a gun in my mouth last night to see what it felt like...it wasn t as cold as i thought it would be. i wasn t really planning on killing myself...i don t think.....but if i accidentally did....it would have been ok. i can t keep a job, i sometimes do not shower for a week at a time, the thought of it make me tired, it seems like such a chore. i have no reason to feel this way. nothing tragic has happened. i have no energy. i think a lot about dying, it doesn t scare me like it used to. i don t really want to...but really don t care. its rather embarrassing...i have children...i avoid them. i m afraid they will see how i am and think badly of themselves....then i feel bad for not spending time with them...my poor wife. i don t know why she has not left me.

Hello,
I looked through your complaints and I understand that you are having issues that you are willing to deal with and you do not know how to deal with. The good part is, you actually wish to have a different life. You are suffering from Sever Depression and which will require psychotherapy and I will advise that you seek psychiatric consultation immediately.
Before you do anything, you should think strongly about your children and your wife and think of the period when you actually cared much about them and could do anything for them. Try to think of that period and how you felt good about the feelings of loving them. Then cling to it.
Depression might take time to be treated but you can be treated if you give your doctor the chance.
Trying to sort this online is a good step, but the best step is for you to see first your doctor or a psychiatric so that they can assist you before its too late. You will require a lot of counselling and visit to your doctor to get over it.
I hope this helps you and wish you the best

Hello..........
I can understand your concern. Your symptoms point towards either an underlying chronic depressive disorder or a dysthymic disorder which is a milder variant. You might also require assessment of your personality profile. Active suicidal thoughts are a psychiatric emergency. I suggest you undergo a thorough psychiatric evaluation as early as possible and get yourself admitted as an in-patient considering your suicidal thoughts. Effective anti-depressant medication and psychotherapy (eg. cognitive behavioural therapy) are available for management. Hope you found the information useful.
