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 @TAB

How are u ATM, back home? That sounds extremely scary, frustrating and not nice, it is not OK...

It doesn't sound like you did anything at all and that u wandered if u did....because he was so aggressive

I'm awake late again, have had awful anxiety.

How long have you lived alone? It isn't working out for me for a few reasons.

I hope you feel better being home, sometimes it takes a few days to shake off dealing with an asshole, I can relate.

Hi @EternalFlower ,

How are you going?

I have been catching up reading this thread.

I have been away for last week. I did not plan it. One thing lead to another, and I needed to reset my mental health.

It seems you have had some dark times in the past week. Are you feeling any better? I'm sorry I was not online. I will be online this week🙂

I enjoyed reading yours and others comments. I hope you are finding a way forward 💗👍

Hi @TAB I hope Ur negative experiences on the road didn't affect u too much, people are so toxic sometimes....

I remember accidently throwing away someone's 2 dollar coffee at a servo...seemed like a wealthy man, had qn expensive car, he lost his composure and screamed at me for ten minutes, I offered to buy him a new one, he refused.

Some ppl just scream, which is awful,

I slept a bit last night but had a very intense day, I am a wreck.

Hi @EternalFlower

It's great to have your support. Thankyou!

Re: Trying makes it worse

Hi @TAB hope Ur keeping well

Hi @ @maddison no problem!

Hi @wellwellwellnez

I went back to work yesterday and I don't think I coped well

I was sluggish and tired and just trying to get through

today I still feel that way

I'm supported in the public system and honestly during crises it doesn't help

So that's scary. I find my friends more reliable , and ppl who have experienced trauma or struggle

I called the hopsital and have tried to set up a session tomorrow, left many messages.

The session woild be with my case worker, and a support person. I hope it works out

They are difficult to work with

Re: Trying makes it worse

Sorry to hear that isn't helpful in crisis @EternalFlower but I think it's really great you have identified what does work (friends or peers and people who have lived experience). Wishing you all the best for a session tomorrow. Sounds like you are taking some proactive steps 💝
