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

@TAB Good luck with all that. At least it was picked up.

@EternalFlower

Him coming to the realisation he cannot help you ... is very different from things staying the same and you never being able to grow and heal.

I have been devastated by blips in my health team. Other people might not react so strongly, but it has been a rollercoaster for me. Guessing it was tied to my level of need.

Sketch out the things you would like to do with yourself and your time. I love the saying about shooting for the stars and landing on the moon... the moon can be a beautiful mysterious place. ...

Hey @TAB @I’m hoping you’re ok and safethere

I have Catt team coming to my house to check on me and my safety

The psych didn’t follow up properly on my care so I don’t have anyone to dispense my medications but hopefully the Catt team can fix it for me

Re: Trying makes it worse

There are advantages to choosing your own (another) gp @EternalFlower rather than only going through community mental health, altho if you feel its needed do that first.

When I said blip and rollercoaster, I guess that is me reflecting on how I felt at the time (rollercoaster). Some of us simply are more sensitive. I think it is good for me to look back and say blip... to describe these kind of events. Trying to reframe my attitudes about a lot of things.

@TAB Still alive and kicking is good dude.

Hi @TAB @I feel much the same last week had a doctor and was in hospital hoping to get care now very much on my own

In response to: Re: Trying makes it worse

Re: Trying makes it worse

@TAB at least you can laugh. Know how you feel about the bung tooth tho ... had an hour in zee dentist chair drilling root canal ... yeah fun...not. Good your atrial fib is getting looked into. Maybe you gotta take it easy re job. Tick all those boxes for house and SELF first.

Personalities are all different, we all have a unique mix of traits and strength etc...

@EternalFlower went supermarket shopping with my mouth all numb, not sure it stopped me buying treats. Norty me.

We are all human and do need connection, but dont underestimate your strengths.
