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 @Former-Member @Shaz51 @Appleblossom @maddison

I'm feeling bit lonely, my friend is back I think but have not heard from her, my other close friend has also been away.

I am having a little trouble connecting with ppl atm, feeling open , am feeling quiet and anxious.

Maybe 3pm is a sad part of the day? Dunno. Ppl used to say that's when u grt a craving to eat sweet foods...

Re: Trying makes it worse

That's good re dr @EternalFlower
