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

@EternalFlower

Its good you did chores and good things for you. Believing in yourself is key. It is hard when we are poor.

I did mention the name of the artist of the picture I posted

Clarice Beckett ... there was a recent exhibition ...

@EternalFlower

Glad you liked her. It is very impressionistic but I like that she paints places I have been. Gives definite historical perspective.

I just find it soothing.

Its a new week and the sun is shining, a load of wash is on, but my sleep is all over the place ... am a bit spacey but have counsellor in 10 mins online.

Take care

Hi @outlander sorry i am behind on messages.

My dr came back today and i got a cleaner to help so my apartment is better 🛌🛋️🛁🚪

My car nearly failed today as out of oil but got a top up and have to take it to the mechanic asap. I am overwhelmed ane its another hassle.

I am dreading the weekend....feeling scared to be alone in my apartment. It has been a hard week.

Re: @Re: Trying makes it worse

..perhaps alone could be good if outside world contact not ideal ? @EternalFlower anyway, get car fixed if you can. No oil is serious.

Re: @Re: Trying makes it worse

Thanks @TAB alone can be good too. I agree. A time to breathe.

I drove my car home unfortunately on no oil as i didnt know before but it wasnt too far and the car still started so he said it was ok and put some oil in, but i wont do it again, now thar i know how serious it is. I hope i can go to mechanic tonorrow. Wish i knew this stuff.

I hope to teach my kids the basics do they are not clueless like me....

I have roadside assist so the truck came and he gave me some oil so i can drive to the mechanic.
