Should I Commit Suicide Since My Trouble Has Just Increased?

[Cjnix]

I have been struggling with eczema for the past two years and my trouble just increased officially when my mom asked me what I want for Christmas and I told her that I want a ps5 and she told me that they're sold out. I then asked about online and she told me that they're sold out online too. I want to commit suicide because I can't even get what I want for Christmas in addition to the other issue of never-ending eczema. I going to be stuck with a ps4 forever because whenever the ps5 is available it is always going to be too expensive for my mom to buy and or sold out. I just thought that getting a ps5 for Christmas would be something good that would happen so that I can at least have a reason to not feel anxious,depressed, and suicidal even while suffering from never-ending eczema.

Me as well, lottie... from about 24.
Cj, one thing with mental health and eczema is that ruling out allergy or intolerance (as your doctor would have), it's quite a vicious circle. Both make each other worse, and both need to be treated at the same time.

//I would make a really good counselling. But I can't counsel myself and that is a huge problem//

It isn't, very few people can. That's why counsellors and even psychiatrists have their own. It's always easier from the outside. Do it x

I hope that the OP has got help, someone close to me was suicidal and the thought of what if still haunts me

I have multiple allergies Pixie. Over recent years they have got steadily worse. In fact I'm a complete mess physically and mentally. Nothing to do with Covid.

Eczema can be beyond depressing, I suffered for years and it covered 15% of my body, red raw, itchy and a pain I consider worse than childbirth at times! I genuinely know how you feel. And suicide isn’t the answer.

See a dermatologist, there are so many different things they can try to help.

Ah, I'm sure they tried everything? And I'm sorry x I don't have that, but have had depression/ anxiety for most of my life. As well as a diagnosis of ADHD and autism in later life. You have no idea how many letters I have after my name:-)

^ to lottie.
Cj, I guess they have tried from hydrocortisone, betnovate (there are two more each stronger, which I have forgotten the names of now), antihistamines and avoiding milk and dairy for a month, to see if any improvement.
I think you would have said already, of any of your family, had eczema, asthma, hay-fever, or some similar autoimmune disorder.

I'm so not a super organiser...
I may start off appearing to be...but then I tend to be all over the place. A former female work colleague recently said I might be in the ADHD spectrum. I did a bit of reading, and there are things that are scarily close to feelings I've experienced. Not sure I'd want to go through the diagnosis hassle now. I guess I take it with a grain of salt.

Maybe just bear it in mind, pasta. I only got diagnosed because one of my children was, and they offered it at the same time.
In the end, it makes no difference, it only helps to know how to approach things with your children. That's all really.

Oddly/interestingly, I've seen quite a few news articles recently regarding women and ADHD...bells are ringing. It could explain issues and difficulties I've had...and just accepted as part of being "me".
