Extreme stress

[Can’tbearanything]

Anyone dealt here with very extreme stress?

My stress is so deep and powerful that I basically can't do anything at all. I am takings meds, and they help, but my stress is so extreme that I am overwhelmed most of the time anyway.

This is one of the main reasons I am suicidal at the moment. I struggle to do pretty much anything at all. I tried to do a little bit of brainstorming yesterday, to prepare myself for a meeting, and it took me all day and I couldn't finish even that.

Today I woke up and my head hurt so much, I basically couldn't do anything at all today.

I pretty much wish every single day that I could just die and have this all be over with.

Anyone else on here dealt with extreme stress? I mean where their problems are mostly stress and not related to other health difficulties?

It just seems like impossible that I will ever get past this. I can't do anything pretty much, let alone everything that is involved in keeping an adult life going. Definitley wouldn't be able to hold down any kind of job I can think of. All I think about these days is how much I wish that I could end it.

I have chronic stress at this point. I am basically a fucking zombie. I miss me.

Yes and yes. The shitty place I live combined with the extreme anxiety and depression is barely tolerable. I would be worse without the SSRIs but still. It's fucked!

How do we keep working, doing the things we need to do while feeling like this?

I guess we just live to see another day and make what we can of it (while we are still here). Take the ups with the downs. No easy answers to that question. Everyone has their own circumstances.
