I feel so lost, I really don't know what to do anymore

I feel so lost, I really don't know what to do anymore

Hi,

So I've been struggling alot lately mentally and haven't been home for about 2months, Ive just been staying in my car and motels but money is tight.
I was taken off all my meds around 2months ago also for what was meant to be a wash out period for a few days bit nothing has been resumed yet. I have spoke to my psychiatrist and told him im struggling but he said I need to learn to deal with things myself.
I have tried speaking to mental health, psychologists and helplines also but I just feel so stuck now.
Its like noone is listening to me when I tell them im really struggling and feel as though they just keep palming me off. I dont have really any supports as I lost alot of people to my abusive ex.
I just dont know what to do anymore, im so exhausted now and sick of feeling like this. Everyday is like a constant struggle just to get through the day and it just keeps getting harder.
I am really just fed up with it all now and having to battle this nightmare alone.
I feel really bad at the moment my head is a mess and just wants to give up completely and I just keep thinking tomorrow is going to be the same if not harder. I really dont know what to do I feel like I am pretty much out of options.

Hi @Kit88

Zahlia here, one of the forum moderators. I’m really sorry to hear that things are so difficult for you at the moment and that no one seems to see that you are struggling. You have shown a lot of strength in coming to the forums and seeking support It’s really important that you speak to someone about how you feeling.

I'm worried from what you said... "I feel really bad at the moment my head is a mess and just wants to give up completely and I just keep thinking tomorrow is going to be the same if not harder. I really dont know what to do I feel like I am pretty much out of options."

Do you have someone you can speak to right now about this? Unfortunately, we are not a crisis service, but some places you can contact now for support are;

Lifeline: 13 11 14

Crisis chat: http://www.crisischat.org/

If in immediate danger: 000

You don’t deserve to go through this alone. Are you safe tonight?

You have shown great courage in telling your story Kit88. You are more than welcome to continue the forums, but if you need help immediately, please call one of the numbers above or 000 in an emergency.

Please take care of yourself and let us know if you are safe.

Kind regards,

Zahlia

Hi Kit,

Have you spoken to a social worker or the salvos etc re your living situation? My doctor had all sorts of problems finding social support for me until I got breast cancer and was put onto a social worker at the hospital. They know all sorts of people who can help with the day to day living stuff.

I hope things work out for you soon 🙂

Re: I feel so lost, I really don't know what to do anymore

Hi @Kit88. Have you tried asking your Dr for a referral to another psych. Often when we feel as though our psych's Dr's etc aren't listening or helping, Getting another opinion can be enormously relieving. Dealing with things yourself can be real scary if you feel 'alone'. Everyone needs someone to talk to or just listen when the going gets tough. Was your ex someone who managed to convince everyone you were the cause of the problems that led to you and him splitting? I suggest you see if you can get a referral to another psych, talk to your Dr and tell him you're not coping. Don't be ashamed or embarrassed admitting you need help. We've all been where you are and we've all needed help, support and guidance. I know I wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't reached out and been heard. That's the hardest part, being 'heard' by people who are 'listening'.

Hi @Kit88

I'm sorry your team really isnt hearing you or responding to you. I'm here listening, i was wondering what was keeping you from being at home? if you feel like chatting about it that is, no pressure though.

Remember you can always present to an ER if things are getting really bad and there are those crisis lines if you feel like that would help just get some stuff out as well.

here with you,
