Hello new here. So I'm 27 gay and engaged. In the past I've been depressed it kinda went down for two years but suddenly tonight I can't sleep and the depression came on and hit me like a ton of bricks. All my gay issues came back body image issues. Etc. And I'm worried I'm going to self harm again. Like I use to because I have the want back again. Idk why this is happening... I'm just a mess.
Welcome to EC. Lack of sleep and tiredness can take our mind to places that we'd rather not go, so if this has happened tonight only, and you have otherwise been well it might just be a 'blip'. Try not to panic (easier said than done, I know) keep a close watch on your feelings and your mood over the next few days and see if things return to normal. Talk to your partner and get support, if you need it, but don't be too quick to worry. Come back to us if things remain bad.
