I Have a Mental Illness

(Trigger Warning)

I do not know what to feel anymore, I feel mostly numb. Everytime I start to feel happy, I realize how pointless my life is. The older I get the more I realize I cannot handle being a adult, and that is hard for me to face. I cannot even go into work without having a panic attack or having suicidal thoughts. I am terrified of being fired. The sad thing is, my work is the only things I have. I still have the horror of living with the awful monster who abused me when I was younger, and nobody still cares. I had stopped taking my Zoloft because I had just given up.

I read that when you stop taking your Zoloft, you have the possibility of dying. And then I thought, maybe that would be better If I do just die… I really feel as though I cannot handle being a adult, and I also cannot handle the bad things life throws at me. I am already broken and beaten enough by my life. I have found a terrible fear of leaving my house even though my home is a personal hell everyday. I do not know anymore how to be happy, and I feel a constant sadness bloom over me everyday. I have started to bring a blade with me everywhere, as it is my only means to feel something. I feel like when I have the blade, I have something to help me. I honestly don’t even know if I have any time left in me to continue…

Sounds like you need to search for professional help. Does your doctor know you've stopped taking your meds?

Depending on the way you stopped taking the Zoloft suicidal thoughts can be a side effect of withdrawal. Your home circumstances seem to be the major part of your depression and anxiety though. I wish you well.
