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

empathy for tooth pain, Like a wet noodle to stop a rhino charge. I'll offer it, but it won't help. Tooth pain pretty much trumps all. @Appleblossom , Please keep a short leash on A, fib @TAB It puts you at a much greater risk of a stroke. Stick to life's sealed roads mate. @EternalFlower Some things are only solved with time. Hope you are still writing in your journal mate. Its a place to process feelings.

Today was a fine day. . . good night all.

Hey @tonys Great to see ya!

He's write about the righting .... oops got mixed up! @EternalFlower Right it all out it helps to write itself. All the good bits and annoying bits about the ole doc. We can take it to extremes in our writing where we might not do so in real life.

Kwak Kwak Kwak @TAB zies turned into a duck!

Me brudda and me boss rode Kwakas. Not me!

Sorry for being silly @EternalFlower love to you.

Hi all @Appleblossom @TAB @tonys @tyme

still feeling really blue

had moments in hospital where I felt less suicidal and felt I was on road to recovery

didn’t tell doctor this or anyone but felt exciting

then a series of triggering events happened and I got unwell and said something rash to the dr.

we had a huge fight and next thing I know my life is utterly ruined

I needed this man to stick with me and help me recover

he was my psychiatrist for over three years and we worked together weekly

he meant well and was a nice person I basically told him I didn’t like his approach and he terminated me think he had some kind of episode and realised it was done with working with me

sinxe then so regretful and suicidal

Why make it worse? Just keep moving on @EternalFlower

Re: Trying makes it worse

Oh hon @EternalFlower ,

I'm so so so sorry to hear this.

The hurt sounds so real and so raw right now. I can see you acknowledge you said something which caused him to terminate you as a patient. This must really hurt.

Is there any chance you can make amends?

Re: Trying makes it worse

Good point

really struggling @TAB @wish i could forgive myself but I get stuck in anger of what I did and how it ended up

i didn’t mean what I said but I now can’t see him anymore and I feel like I am such a disaster of a human

I thought it would be repairable
