I am not coping with everything at the moment

I am really not coping at the moment. i am struggling to take care of myself i am not cooking or cleaning or even showering enough and all i do all day is sleep or cry and even then i still feel exhausted and the meds arent helping although people keep telling me i need to give them more time. i feel horrible and a big part of me just wants to give up and disappear forever. nothing is making me happy anymore i am avoiding people even avoiding appointments with support people i just cant do this i am trying so hard and nothing is ever enough.

Hi @Eden1919

How are you going today?

Its good that you have reached out for support. I think that is a great step. I see that you are worried about deadlines and getting stuff done. Would it be possible to explain to the people who have set these deadlines that you are unable to meet them? Would they be understanding and allow you an extension?

Take things a step at a time. Allow yourself rest if you need it.

I hope this has helped in some way and that you are ok.

Re: I am not coping with everything at the moment

@Eden1919I have an aimless, meaningless life too. Let's work through this together. We can chat over this thread if you like. I understand every experience isn't relatable for me because I don't know everyone else's situations including yours, but hey, I understand the feelings of feeling isolated, lonely, and meaningless. I also know the yoyo to and fro thing with doctors and other people giving out the same advice over and over. So I say, let's support each other through this!

Re: I am not coping with everything at the moment

Hi @Richie I'm still trying to find help which is still far out of reach for me. I know I'm gonna be back in the hospital soon but that's because it's the only place I can get help, then when I'm home I can't get the same support as GP can't allow me to live on same medical program at home re psychiatrist supervision and strong side effects and all that jazz. For now I'm ok and safe and I hope same for you!

@Eden1919 maybe you need to take a break away from everything for a while and just rest. I'm sure most people would understand that.
