I haven't left my bed since Friday except to use the washroom. I'll sleep for a few hours before waking up sweaty and panicked from nightmares, after which I can't fall back asleep, so mostly I read about death on this forum; it's a slight comfort, or it's enabling. Just as soon as I return to sleep, I'm woken by the nightmares. I've been on this awful loop of suicidal ideation and nightmares and apathy for two days and I can't take it anymore. I haven't taken my medication since the beginning of this ordeal. I'm beginning to worry about withdrawals. This can't go on any longer.

You are in the depressive ideation loop. I've been there. It's almost like an addiction. Can you say what's brought you to this state?

Sounds like my last night.

I've been there before, it can feel a lot safer when you're wrapped up and hidden away from everything. I'd be there forever if I could. I hope it gets better though, that place really only feels safe, especially if the meds are going by the wayside.

Did you choose to stop taking the meds or are you out of meds? I'm sorry you are suffering. I haven't left my apartment since Friday, similarly haven't really gotten out bed except to use the bathroom.

The reading about death thing didn't sound very comforting. Are you sure you're not giving yourself nightmares?

I completely understand what you're going through... with the not getting out of bed, of course. I have little to no experience with nightmares, however... I would think there is some medication to help control that. I hope you can pull yourself out of this seemingly endless loop. :notsure::hug:
Side note.. I love your profile picture, Keith Haring.

I drank heavily Friday night. After drinking alcohol I find I'm severely depressed for up to a week. Still, despite the consequences, I drink often.

Mmm, it is only a temporary comfort. I have responsibilities to tend to tomorrow and I will have to leave my bed. I hope I feel better in the morning.

I have 1/2 a month's supply. The only reason I haven't taken them is I have felt too weak to walk upstairs. I don't want to see the daylight, either. I've kept all the lights off in my bedroom.

I hope you find a good reason to get out of the apartment. :)

That's what I mean about enabling. Reading about suicide when I'm so vulnerable is comforting, in that I can feed my fantasy, but it's also driving the cycle.

Tonight I'll try eating a meal and picking up a book. And taking my goddamn medication.

I think you understand your situation well and you know how to try and break out of it. Definitely have a read, just not on here.
As a former alcoholic I totally get the booze thing. It's a fix it now solution with a much worse long term payback. Now is always more important than the future, but the future always comes.

Fantasy? Is that what this is to you? If your going to suffer make it worthwhile like I'm doing now. And get some of this in your life https://sanctioned-suicide.net/threads/lovely-bunnies.32900/

In the last five years I have attempted suicide three times. In the last six months I have struggled more than I have in my entire life. I am trying my hardest to stay alive. Suicide is more than a fantasy to me.

I'm so sorry you struggle with that. I can't be all day in bed. Only if I'm alone maybe. But I don't want my family to see me like that. Go jogging if you can do it. I run for people that can't do it and makes me feel good.

I have been swimming three times a week the last couple months, but my shoulder was acting up last week and I decided to rest. I'll swim tomorrow evening. Swimming always perks me up.

In other news, I got out of bed and made a meal. I took my medication. If I can sleep tonight, tomorrow will be a better day.

Glad to hear it!
