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

I dont buy anything @EternalFlower Mr Bunnings wont get rich off me! I just use whats there... leaves whatever. A while ago a girlfriend had spare mulch and we put that out.

I find I just need to be active and have various projects unfolding. Keeps me from getting too low.

Re: Trying makes it worse

Best way @Appleblossom mr bunnings can do fine without our cash!!

It is great to repurpose and to get friends to help. A hobby or project keeps me alive, so i relate!!

I made a pot recently which I use in my entry way for my keys....i am not "good" at art...i know this....but it is more about the process.

Gentle Hugs @outlander

Think you

also know how important ... the process is .... re art ... not the getting everything "perfect" or being too competitive...art in a social fashion ... is important and good for almost everybody ...

Also good if things have a purpose or are aesthetic. I watched my nanna throw pots when I lived with her as a child, and she let me have a go. I did clay stuff with my kids and had it fired at a kiln. I have an aunt who was more competitive and studied it ... and have some lovely little leaf shaped pieces for the garden .. that blend nicely with my real organic autumn leaves ....

Hey all @outlander @Appleblossom

How are u?

Apple lovely shares as always

I am not sure about the weekend...my friends are away and i am between supports. I like to go to the library and read for a few hours and go to a coffee shop for a breather as well.

My house is pretty messy its become u bearable. I cant do much on my own its become more of a ptsd thing and out of control so i hope to get some cleaning support with ndis.
