Deep dark depression

[[...]]

Help! I feel I'm sinking and no end in sight. Everything seems overwhelming. Suicidal tendencies. I've lost faith in myself and in God. Family doesn't understand. They want me to check into a clinic but that'll make me worst.

 

Ever since my tolerance w/d, I feel disconnected from everything. I've lost my capacity to love and care.

The feelings of love and caring will return.  As the acute symptoms begin to subside we begin to notice the subtler ones. 

 

Here are some self-help resources: Suicide & Self-harm .  I'd print these and keep them nearby if you're feeling like you may hurt yourself of you have suicidal ideation. 

 

If you're alone, please call someone in real time to come be with you when these feelings hit.  Your safety is first.

I have the same feelings. Im also in twd and tapering so its been very hard to say the least.

 

Its just the wd...it will get better and youll make a turn in the road. Hang in there and realize its just part of the process.

Do you think once/if I stabilize and start tapering I'll feel better?

I just cant say. Ive seen people that say the depression started to lift and weaken the lower they got on the dosage so yes its very possible!

I'm the same, finding it very hard to cope with the depth of depression and adhodenia. I've read enough to know it's the drug withdrawal, so there's no denial there, keep posting there are so many people here, thank god, offering help that have made it through the same experiences.

I feel disconnected from everything. It's like my capacity to care or love has been ripped out. Anyone else have similar feelings?

I feel it too. I'm so sorry you feel this way. I feel like I'm on the edge of just losing it. Every day feels like the same day just repeating itself. I've tried new meds and have had bad anxiety and sxs so I've stopped. I don't know what to do anymore except to pray and distract myself and try to move on with life no matter how I am feeling. I notice that outdoors seem to help me and cooking helps me too. Try to find something that takes your mind off of how you feel and focus on doing something physical. I am praying that this depression or whatever this dark fog is lifts, but only time will tell. Have faith that you will wake up and feel just a little bit better. This life is too precious for us to feel this way. Hang in there. Hugs!

I had exactly that, in months 2 through 5, it was horrible, and then it all gradually came back to me starting a little in month 5. By month 6 it had all come back. I didn't believe it would come back even though many people on here said it would. I was in deep despair. But hey, how about that, they were right after all.
