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

Saw dr @Appleblossom @maddison

Still reeling

Dude took million notes told me he was really busy today but we can discuss more on Friday. Told him how he'd talked over me and also I said I doubt we'll talk about sh on Friday, we didn't today, and he's always putting it off, and I widhed he'd be honest with me. I tried to leave session several times.

He said stay, then left on his terms abruptly , triggering me again .

FFS.

@maddison, sorry for the the late reply re: your housemate appointment. I just logged bcak in.

That is a tricky one! Your hands are kinda tied with consent, differing moods and awareness. Eeeeek 😐. Can you stay with aa friend when you feel unsafe?

How did the weekend appointment go? What is happening this week?

Re: Trying makes it worse

Hi @maddison I hope ur doing ok at home and finding the space not too heacy or weird without housemate. I hope it's a good change for him in hospital and he gets bit of support ...at least

I felt super distressed post dr and maybe even self blame around choosing this dr. He has a registrar so I am able to speak to him but I get intimidated and don't know process of asking for him. It's not like my dr ever explained their roles or when I can speak to his secondary dr, R.

Snacks are good lol I need to restock

I am ok and safe in my space here.
