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

Hi @maddison thanks, it is nice to read that it's ok to not be ok.

I hope things are maneagble and on the up for u at home.

I have had bouts of anxiety but I'm ok.

Can't find a new thing to watch, hence trying apple!

Netflix is not bad for true crime shows, but therr aren't many new serieses ...

Re: Trying makes it worse

Ur welcome @EternalFlower I think anyone can post to the threads I mentioned. I still don't know how to use this website either. I feel like it's lots to take in. I 'know' a few members but there are way more I don't know & I feel intimidated, & unsure of myself jumping in too.

Things here are ok, in the sense that the aggression had dissapated in there last 2 days, so I can breath again. My whole body seizes up when hm yells. I can be good at defending myself - on the inside I'm tiny & terrified. I get so good at defending myself that I forget, or bypass how I'm really feeling.

I've learnt that conflict exists & I must survive it - I'm not built that way tho.

No, 7 days is quick! Can you consume 👍 series in that time?

Free TA tv is ok. I watch heaps of the movies on SBS world movies. Viceland has interesting viewing.

Not looked at this new website?

Watched doco about suicide last week, on SBS - UK based, heartbreaking, revealing, maybe hope?

Call the numbers if you feel wonky ok?

If you want to talk on here - express that you are not coping or whatever & no one is around, you can try @moderator 💛
