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

Thankyou my dearest friend. Well I know you are about and busy but at least I know you are functional, I used that term too loosely, Mate Its my book keeper birthday and she just came back so it will be posts at midnight to night. She yelled out hi. On the odd occasion she will type while I ride the broom so she knows you too. . . I hope thats OK.

Please stay on the gentle side of the river. . . here when you have some time .

Hugs Beautiful @EternalFlower Hope your knee is not too bad. It is always nice to connect. I have lots of good new exercises and a gorgeous physio. I should be packing but popped on here. Still a bit ambivalent about travelling but getting used to my style. The alarm is set. Good Night.

Hi lovely @Appleblossom @tonys @LeChuck

Im in hospital as an inpatient... 2nd night...

I moved rooms because my co roomie was a big snorer but i regret it as this new space is terrible in new ways.

I am angry at myself and confused and scared here.

The people are a colourful bunch but im not too keen on socialising...there is a tv and sometimes people watch together.

Its pretty dirty and icky my sheets feel like cardboard and hsve stains everywhere.

I wish i had bought a cozy blankie to hug.

OH @EternalFlower . . . Mate. . . I'm here with you my dear friend if you want to chat to night

I'll keep my laptop on and check it. What are we going to do mate. Believe me please when I

say, I just want to cry, when I think about you mate, I want to give all sort of advice and All I can really say thats solid is, I care about what happens to you my friend. I cant even imagine

what took back to hospital, cant be good, and I feel guilty for saying, I feel better when you are there because I worry so gravely when you are down and on your own.

Is your doctor coming to the hospital tomorrow. please tell me how that goes. I hope some sort of help comes by way of the NDIS, because you need some really solid supports behind you, and I don't want you to fall through the cracks. The squeaky wheel If you get my drift. I can tell you are in bad pain and I'm many miles away.

I You tube music all the time when I need a lift, but you need the full orchestra, and I am

going to pray hard as I can for you, and the man upstairs owes me a few favours, so

fingers crossed. Will go so you get this quick, but I'm walking the corridors down there tonight, Eternal flower Tonys moon base one

@EternalFlower I'm so sorry to hear you're having such a tough time eternal. I am here to chat whenever you feel alone in there and want to have a vent or just some support. I agree about the sheets lol but the plastic pillows are even worse! I will keep an eye on my notifications, here with you through this lovely, I know how lonely it can be in here. Hang in there and keep reaching out for support or just a chat to keep the boredom at bay. X lechuck

Re: Trying makes it worse

@EternalFlower I am in compulsory group therapy a lot of the day, so if you ever don't hear back from me for a couple of hours, that's the only reason. Just want to reiterate I am 100% here with you through this and will distract and support as much as you need ❤️

hi @LeChuck @tonys @Appleblossom @Sophia1

I woke up and there was a dead cockroach in the sink...love it. These little things feel very stressful. I fele if I complain to much to staff it'll cause more problems. I feel icky in my skin and there's no privacy at all which is hard. There is a nice nurse today, he is upbeat and warm, they say the dr will come at 12 and now irs this evening and had i bot asked again id have been waiting....i dont like that waiting.

Re: Trying makes it worse

Hey @EternalFlower that sounds terrible. You can try to make the most of having a good nurse today and ask if he can take some time and just sit with you and let you talk about some of how you're feeling. Here with you.
