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

Hi there @EternalFlower . Well I see you started the day waste deep, but then you made some plans

about your TV and went to the Cafe. Sometimes a change of perception can be just around the corner. We just have to wait that sudden cloud out and the sun will peak out at you again. Life can be a game of patience. Its ok. . . I'm still working on my poker face too. Took me a while to fashion my rose coloured glasses.

You care mate. small steps tonys..

Hope one day you will lift my heart with another of your poems... I loved your last one..

Then immerse yourself in each one @EternalFlower . Deep and slow. Deep . . and .. slow.

Got a little soft music to sync your rhythm too. New place. fresh start maybe. Gone this far, Go further.

keep searching. Make new bricks from the rubble. Better bricks.

You got this Eternal. You can do it. tonys

Thanks @tonys I am ready to share what happened

I was in a private psych hospital receiving support from my dr who was worried Id be unstable during the move

Plan was to take leave and move house from hospital

It didn't work

My ndis workers wouldn't shoe up and the nurses were busy with other things and didn't check on me for days

I self harmed and tried to escape the hospital

The dr grew angry. I said I didn't want to see him abymoee

He said fine and discharged me on the spot

Hopsital staff said Ur dr doesn't want you so we want you out now

My new home wasn't ready

I was homeless for 24 hours it was raining heavily

I had nowhere to go

Re: Trying makes it worse

I suppose staying in hospital would have been easier in hindsight @EternalFlower ?

and care you are not happy with is better than no care ?

Or do you not want professional help. do they make you take meds and eat and stuff ?

In response to: Re: Trying makes it worse

Re: Trying makes it worse

Hi @TAB not sure,

The care was poor but I wanted to stay there and asked to

I wasn't well and then the dr got angry and felt he couldn't work with me any longer.

I didn't escape in order to leave or run away, but in order to self harm

.

They don't make you eat or take meds.

Re: Trying makes it worse

Hey @EternalFlower sounds like it's been really rough for you. I just wanted to touch base, see how you're travelling now? Are you safe at the moment? I'm sorry that you weren't able to get the right kind of care, the kind you deserve.
