Guys you know I'm not Catholic and you know I wouldn't class my self as even close to being Christian but you all know me well most of you. And most of you knew me in my darkest days. Well I've been struggling again lately and have had a psych appointment booked for 2 months now it's on Monday Australian time but I'm freaking out about going and have pretty much got it in my head that I shouldn't go.. I don't really know what I want from you guys maybe a little prayer I don't know.. I'm sorry

Dont let the darkness conquer you.
Darkness is always ready to surround us and cause our falls - and tell us that which can heal us - should be avoided.

I know what i am speaking.
And you are def in my prayers, young lady.
:crossrc: ;)

Just when you feel like you don't want to go, that is when you need to go the most.

therapy is what you make of it. have an idea about what you would like - are there particular issues that bother you regularly? Do you struggle with anxiety or compulsions? Do you have suicidal thoughts/feel like you just don't want to exist anymore, and you want to learn how to manage things that trigger those thoughts and find a way to build a pattern of healthy thinking/behaviour?

At the very least, you could say that you have suicidal thoughts and feelings and you want to find a way to move past them.

Medication can sometimes help for people who seriously struggle with feeling suicidal. Trying many different medications in the hope of finding the right one can be rough - went through more than most people before I found one that works for me. If the doctor feels you might benefit from medication, at least give it a try, but try not to be discouraged if you don't see a significant difference. It takes time, and medication alone won't solve anything - you have to make a commitment to therapy as well, to explore your thoughts and your mind in order to find the root causes of your disordered thinking.

I was in therapy for 7 years, and I take medication, too. It was rough and it isn't uncommon to want to give up. Just try to push through, and see where this road takes you. You owe it to yourself to explore and see if you can build a better world.

Why the heck not ?

We can pray for anyone - and we do.

We aren't asking you to convert that's not our job - only you can make any decision about that.

What we are doing is asking that you be given strength to see your Psych on Monday - and to accept that you need help .

just remember that everyone here will be asking for help for you

Nah, you did right in asking. Are our prayers going to do you any harm? I believe you want someone to give a darn about you and your struggles. OBOB is noted for caring. You have my prayers - asking God to bless you in any way that you need. Go to therapy. Might help and if it don't you have not lost anything. And yes I will say it and may you take it in the spirit in which it is given - God bless you. :crossrc:
