I just sent an email to my support person and asked how I get referred to a suicide prevention team. My suicidal ideation has become really bad. Im getting pretty strong urges and I feel like Im about out of sheer will power and determination to keep on pushing on.
I just dont see my future as one I want to be a part of. I have a ridiculous list of medical and mental health issues. Im now taking 34 tablets a day. Some to treat the side affects of the medication I take to treat the condition. I feel constantly sick and my GP is sure that its because of interactions between medications.
Lately its been issue after issue, I was in ER yesterday, I have to have an urgent ultrasound today and go back to ER after that. So it will be 2 days in ER to deal with my cellulitis issue.
I keep swelling and bloating, which just compounds how uncomfortable I feel.
Even if they get treatment organised and embedded. The current shit storm of issues stops. My future looks pretty shit. Even if I manage to go back to work, Im only doing it now to pay my medical costs, thats it.
Seriously what future is that, whats the point?
