[QUOTE="rolypolypudding, post: 1954578, member: 246008"] I'm sorry to hear you are struggling. I suffer from similar conditions as you and have done for many years, so I've long since given up hope of a cure and just seek to exercise damage limitation. It's a good idea to take up a new interest, but beware of taking on too much. The volunteering should be something that you feel you would enjoy, not something undertaken as a duty. I recently joined a community choir and have found that helpful as a way of meeting new people and just having fun. I haven't managed to lose weight yet though, and I badly need to as I'm seriously overweight. However, no point in beating ourselves over the head, it only makes us feel worse. I do hope though that you will manage to control your suicidal thoughts. Your life does matter, just as much as anyone else's. You have taken on an extremely worthwhile role as a carer which I know is grossly undervalued by the government - but however willingly you have taken it on, it must be tiring and stressful at times. I've found Samaritans very helpful when in a similar frame of mind as you are now, also you might want to try elefriends. This is an online discussion forum a bit like this one, only for people with mental health issues. It is run by the national mental health charity, MIND. It is carefully moderated so no danger of receiving any abusive responses. I'm planning to set just a modest goal for 2019, as previously I have been too ambitious and that makes me feel worse when I fail. So I've decided to try and get a grip on my love affair with chocolate and all sweet things. I'll see where that takes me. So please please please don't give up, and continue to post on this website so we can offer you support. . [/QUOTE]
