i reli need help. everythings going wrong for me at the minute, iv suffered with extreme depression for the last 2 months and although i thought it may be getting better and i may be getting bak to normal with the support of my partner, iv reverted back to the old ways. My nan died 3 years ago and although i thought id b able to cope after this amount of time, i didnt get a chance to grieve as i had to take care of my mother who suffered a mental breakdown straight after. todays my nans birthday and i dont know how much more of this pain, hurt and anger i can take anymore. I feel like im close to losing everything i held dear and i dont want to do that. if anyone has any tips on how i can stop the pain from wanting to tip me over the edge i would be so grateful. i didnt even get a chance to celebrate my nans birthday because i was at college all day. My family have excluded me, thats how it feels anyway and i feel like i have no one there. Im trying so hard not to breakdown right now i cant explain to you but the thought of waking up for another day is draining all my energy. I cant take it anymore. i have no energy for any of the things i used to love, i dont want to be around people or speak to anyone, i just dont want to be here anymore. Please please can i get some sort of advice to help me get over this because im close to doing something stupid at the moment and luckily iv kept a clear enough head not to already. i dont mean to sound pathetic i just miss my nan so much and i feel like i have nothing left here 4 me. What can i do?

it must be really hard for you not having had time to grieve over your nans death.

talk to someone your close to like a friend about how you feel to make you feel better, if you dont have anyone around you who you can talk to and you feel like your going to do something stupid (i'm not going to patronize you and say dont do because i did it myself and i'm still not completely over it) you can always call childline or the samaritans or something who should be able to help you.

as to your nan's birthday, why not light a candle in you room and just say 'happy birthday nan' its not much i know but its better than nothing.

though i've never really kept a diary myself, you could get one just to write down your feelings every night or whenever you feel like you need to and what you've done that day...

i cant really think of anything else to say but if you ever need to talk to someone, i'm always here!

hope this helps a little

good luck xx
