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

This is a great idea!!! An art thread 🧵

Your aurora borealis is amazing 🤩 ✨

I moved house today and when I was packing, I saw all my art and my cameras 📷. I have been so inspired by you. I find art such a calming and self serving hobby. I have now made a space on the shelf in the lounge room to make sure I use them every week. Thanks @maddison ❤️

Hello Everyone

@TAB I thought of you this morning. Surgery on Friday is that right? Are you feeling nervous? You will be ok... mugwump lol - that's a good one (👾?)

@EternalFlower you described why I enjoy horror/thriller! I didn't know. I don't like too scary either. Needs to be right amount.

I agree that mum looks happy with a touch of frazzle - good eye. I instantly liked that picture @Appleblossom thanks for sharing artists with us. The melancholia from yesterday is one of my favourite pieces I've ever seen.

@EternalFlower your friend is back tomorrow? That is exciting 4 U. Thanks for the idea about graphic novels.

@Former-Member wow! Moving house is huge. Congratulations & I hope you love your new home. I don't know how to say thanks for mentioning that I inspired you! It feels like such a big compliment.💛

Have nice night everyone. It's chilly in 'Melbourne' going to have a kip (I don't use that word, but I thought @TAB might like it?)

@EternalFlower 😮🕯️... Maybe U could set alarm? 💜

You guys do more art than I @maddison @EternalFlower @Former-Member but I still appreciate it. Guess it helps to have an audience.

Sounds like you are getting organised for the operation @TAB Best of luck with it.

Hey @Appleblossom,

Art is good for the soul, whether you are doing it yourself, doing it for an audience, or in the audience.

Hi @Appleblossom nice to hear from u, I'm not so arty but more into books 📚 but I do colouring etc as a way to get out of my head.

Hi @TAB @hanami @Appleblossom @maddison

It is cold here tonight ❄ I signed up to apple TV for trial to watch a show called Severance...

Good luck for this week @TAB hope it's ok

Re: Trying makes it worse

Reading the synopsis for Severance @EternalFlower 🤯

I would like to see.

I don't have Netflix but I have heard good things about show called Dark.

Sorry if I tagged you in too many threads! They are ones I like/find useful.

Hope you are ok. 💜 It's ok if you are not. Sending you a smile💜xx

Re: Trying makes it worse

Careful w Apple subscriptions @EternalFlower . They are often self-renewing. So after watch show best to make sure its unsubscribed

Re: Trying makes it worse

Hi @TAB @maddison @Former-Member

Hope ur warm and cozy...

I gotta watch it with Apple, I might keep it for a month..7 days isn't very long, is it?

I've heard Severance is a good show... not sure if I'll like , if it is too Sci fi I'll probably not cope!

Thanks so much @maddison the tags are amazing no worries whatsoever as I really struggle with the space and all the threads.

I don't know if threads are open to everyone or from just ppl who know one another? I get bit timid to join out of blue!

So, totally appreciated.
