If I wake up tomorrow morning

Come on Scuba, every day is precious, it isn’t always easy though. Hang in it gets better even if you can’t see how it could.
 
Panic attacks, OCD, anxiety, depression, fear, knowing I'll never live a 'normal' life... it's too much...
I’m not qualified to advise you, and yes it sounds really really hard, I’ve had some of those at stages in my life and been very very low, but it is possible to come through. Is there familly you can talk to, or friends. That has to be a starting point. I’m certain people on here care.

The only reason I haven't done myself in and probably won't is my family mate. I couldn't bear to transfer even an ounce of my pain onto them.
 
I sympathise. For "reasons" the option of taking my own life was removed for me at a relatively early age. Try to consider yourself as "walking wounded" - you might not ever be OK to yourself, but you can keep putting one foot in front of the other day after day...this is probably the only life you will ever experience, you didn't exist for billions of years before you were born, and after your life it will be the same. Practice self-care, things can get better

As Chief says in One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest (on suicide) "I don't know what all the rush is when all you have to do is wait" ;)

Exactly that, I had years of black dog. You never knew it coming and tbf I rarely felt like ‘opting out’ but my familly are beautiful, they never even realised how bad it was, and I got through it and now my life is great. All started with a motorbike accident and what they now call ptsd or summat, sometimes never slept for days, sleep was the worst. But you can come through it with time and help.
 
Nothing I write here will really help you Scoobs, but I sincerely hope the weekend marks the start of things improving for you. It can be a wonderful life.
 
Morning Scuba, hope you're OK today? What music is tickling your fancy at the moment? Let us all know how you are.
 
Have you sought any help Scuba? If you contact Alliance in Stockton you can self refer. If you haven’t had any help yet it could be a start?
Hope you’re feeling better today pal.
 
Stay strong Scoobs, thinking of you fella.

Oh and don't worry about living a "normal life" there is no such thing. Live YOUR life. ☮️+❤️
 
Hope you're feeling better today mate. I'm not qualified to offer any advice, except maybe go for a bit of a stroll and get some vitamin D, with a musical accompaniment. Maybe try a different area of a music. Maybe Scoobs strolling to some drill might provoke a slight smile.
