Trying makes it worse

Trying makes it worse

Hi,

I'm EternalFlower and I've been feeling completely overwhelmed, sad, and pessimistic.

I've tried and been a responsible patient and person, reaching out to various services when I started feeling scarily anxious and suicidal, 2 years back..

My Dr is new, a young guy who regularly admits he's inexperienced, and aside from some good jokes, he actually does very little

I notice how easy it is to blame myself that I don't feel better, a total shame spiral, but I wander if my treatments just are bad....

I wanted to chat and hear anyone and hope I can use this space to help not feel so alone.

Thanks xxx EternalFlower

Re: Trying makes it worse

I'm happy you got something out of the lyrics @Appleblossom we all have different taste when it comes to music. Funny how certain we feel that our own taste is the correct one! I know I do anyway. It's good having open mind, even if it's not your own personal style. Occasionally, I will have an opposing reaction to an idea, song, art, tv show - (person? perhaps) then given time, it can become part of me & my attitude changes & now I'm a fan! Not always - first impressions are solid too. But yeh, pays to be open minded - not always easy. I appreciate that you could appreciate lyrics.

No it's not an easy path (re: mental health). On the other hand, I could spend my time with a person who was typically easy - & not enjoy, or feel a connection with them. That would be too hard. I can't lie& say I haven't ever daydreamed what it must be like to have a perfect friend who would always look after me☹️ I think that's what we all would maybe like?

A massive thankyou from me for pioneer work you have accomplished here on SANE, & in your real life no doubt.

Thanks Apple.

I am so shy& self conscious & I would be scared to dance - I bet it's heaps of fun!🕺💃

Re: Trying makes it worse

Thanks for the link @EternalFlower looks like a great book. It would be the kind I could read - short poems, art etc. I was looking for a preview, alas there is none.

I used to live for reading when I was younger. I've only read 1 Burroughs book- I was far too young to understand what I was reading, I knew I liked it nonetheless.

Then I changed - I couldn't read anymore.

Re: Trying makes it worse

Hi @maddison Ur art is so pretty,I really love the water, it is so beautiful and the sparkles. That is really cool u can make that !

I was the same, it is hard to find space to read as an adult, especially when ppl around u us dont read...

It is interesting so far!

How has Ur day been?

I've had medical stuff today and saw my cm. Hes very lovely.

I guess @Appleblossom is dancing? Nice to go out in the evening and do something g different

I also read graphic novels @maddison , they are easy to digest.

Hope ur OK @TAB
