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

Thanks @TAB a pastie sounds good!!

I've been eating a mango every day or some berries as it's all I have stomach for

And ice coffee

I felt a bit better earlier and held it tightly

I know deep down everything that occurred is for the good

I had a spat with someone and it ended the relationship but such is life

It is ok

I had a shower and washed my hair and intend to try a hot drink

I also see that life can't exist without pain and it means we are Alive

Re: Trying makes it worse

ah, pretty sure if you can keep some food down you would feel better @EternalFlower

I used to have a friend who would get taken away by CATTs etc sometimes they wouldnt eat for weeks. they could always get a pastie down and/or a creme brulee thing in tub from supermarket lol. a few days later after a lot of sleep they would be half human again lol

Re: Trying makes it worse

well. . @EternalFlower I'm going OK and thankyou for thinking of me. . just stirred from a dream

Its the small hours hey. Between today and tomorrow. When every choice just seems like a wrong turn dead end street. thats the time I think about things folks write on here. Its our day to day struggles that connect us all. Then we each wake up again and its a new day. The sins and sorrows of yesterday, washed away for a moment by our dreams. In that moment we try and close the door on those ghosts just a little more and make our way to the gifts of a new day. The ones worth having never just come to me. I gotta reach for every one. I feel your strength Flowers.

you can make this.

Re: Trying makes it worse

Thank u all

Bad experiences reaching out to hotline today which usually help

The man told me i must have been in psychosis when i self harmed

I said my dr said I wasn't ubwrll as I don't have psychosis or bipolar

Man said "Ur dr doesn't understand psychosis then. From what Ur telling me it sounds like psychosis "

I said psychosis is a medical condition and j don't have it and self harming doesn't mean you are experiencing psychosis

I found the man very arrogant to think he was an expert and my dr was wrong and I must have been psychotic when I kept saying I don't have it

Scary

I should probably complain as this person sounds unsafe @TAB @TAB @Meowmy @tonys

In response to: Re: Trying makes it worse

Re: Trying makes it worse

..maybe eat some food @EternalFlower

So the 2nd person said dr who you complained about was wrong.

Now 2nd person is wrong as well?

if everyone is wrong how can you still ask for help?

Not sure how psychosis works, but would a psychotic know if they were psychotic ?

as dr said to me the other day , you put yourself in drs care, then you pick and choose what advice you will follow.

I felt silly.

he made me shake hands on 'deal' to do what he asked me to do..

jarst sayin .. go get the pastie and iced coffee as well maybe . if you cant finish them, put in fridge and have later.
