@Gremlin24 . Please don't give up on yourself.  You are worth fighting for. Please call 000 if you feel at risk.  

I am still here if you want to chat.

@dehaha i just want to be able to sleep but even the medication the doctor has given me isn't helping and it's supposed to work within 30 minutes of taking it. I don't want to end up back in hospital cos it's all well and good while I'm there but things just go straight back to bad once I'm home again.

I am sure you have tried the white noise ( rain, ocean, rainforest sounds etc). 

Have you tried guided sleep?  I sometimes listen to " The Honest Guys ". There are lots of options from deep meditation to mindfulness. It's like gentle story telling with reminders to breathe.  The stories are detailed enough that you can picture the room but without having to really think.

If you've never tried anything like that, it might be worth a go.

@dehaha maybe one day I'll get to give it a go. Right now it's all just too much for me.

I'm sorry, I can't do this anymore. Thanks for chatting to me.
