Need some advice

I’ve had SVT for 5+ years, no ablation but take beta blockers and I’ve been very stable (no episodes or anything) until yesterday morning where I fainted out of the blue, didn’t feel any SVT when it happened. Went to the doctors and my ECG and BP was fine and my bloods were all normal

However ever since yesterday morning when I fainted I have been getting extremely dizzy everytime I stand up and am struggling to stand up without feeling faint and dizzy

And this morning since I’ve woken up I’ve noticed that my heart rate is much faster and more noticeable, I wouldn’t say it’s an SVT episode but everytime I stand up my heart rate goes from 100bpm to 160bpm

I feel awful and not myself at all, the gp said I’m fine so no point going back there but I’m not sure if it’s worth a trip to A&E. I’m not sure that they will be able to do anything because I’m not stuck in an active SVT episode but my heart doesn’t feel normal and I can’t stop feeling dizzy

Any advice appreciated!

Genuinely looking for advice

I’m 20F and for the last few weeks things have been getting worse, I’m running out ways to cope. My financial position is awful, my girlfriend is always worried about me and I’m just a burden to her, everytime I get myself out of a depressive episode I end up straight back in one

I’ve dropped out of uni, hardly have any friends, nobody checks up on me, I’ve got a rough situation with my family and everything just feels pointless. I can hardly even hold down a job, I’ve been like this for years and I’ve given up trying because trust me, all I’ve done is try to better myself and it always fails

I would just love to hear from anyone who has been in this position and made it out the other side, because right now I don’t feel like there’s any other options left. The doctors don’t help, therapy is too expensive, I don’t have any friends to talk to and I can’t keep putting this all on my girlfriend

I feel like giving up right now

I am a 19 year old girl, turning 20 in 5 days and for as long as I can remember I’ve felt miserable. But the last few weeks everything has gotten so much worse

I am constantly changing jobs trying to find my passion, but I don’t actually have a passion I just need to pay the bills. I’m behind on all my bills, being threatened with debt collectors. I’ve got overdrafts and credit card debt and I physically cannot get myself to go to work even when I do have a job

I feel like the laziest and most stupid person ever, but I just have no passion or joy for anything anymore. My girlfriend doesn’t really understand my mental health because she’s grown up living a very happy life. I feel like such a burden to her and everyone around me, my thoughts of ending it all are getting much louder these past few days and I don’t want to talk to my friends or partner about it because I can’t bear the thought of bringing my loved ones down

I just really think that everyone’s lives would be so much easier without me because I’m a constant energy drain, my girlfriend especially worries about money because I hardly ever work and that’s not fair on her

I didn’t want to make it to my 20th birthday but that day is getting closer and closer and I just can’t do it anymore. But I don’t want to tell anyone because I’ll only end up being put in a hospital on suicide watch which would fuck up my life even more, it would add more pressure on my partner because she would have to cover the bills. So I’ve got no choice but to just suffer, but life is so fuckikg miserable how is anyone supposed to carry on living
