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

Heya @EternalFlower ,

Great to see you! How are things going? I know it's been hard recently. Have things picked up a little?

(No need to respond if you don't feel up to it).

Hugs

hi @tyme @PeppyPatti

i'm feeling a bit better, slowly got a new admission to a hospital and also navigating a lot of different services

i had stopped coping at all and was processing an assault that happened to me in october and whata that means and how it feels

i'm also angry that my old dr dumped me and feel he was fake about his interest in my care

but i'm happy to move through grief

Darling @EternalFlower

The most powerful feeling I have is that things are moving quickly .

Is there a way that you can just havva hot chocolate or cuppa tea/ coffee and focus on feeling love around you ?

It's a weird request and maybe hard for you to feel a shift from how your feeling.

We are here.

We value you.

Your name @EternalFlower can represent you today ?

I think it can. Do you think it can ?

Hi @PeppyPatti i've been ddrinking Nesquick today

hot drinks are a big win for us all - i agree! very soothing!

thank u for being fun to talk to . its nice to meet new and old faces on the forums. hello @tonys @tyme

i'm watching the mindy project again lol i wrote about it here remember telling @Appleblossom and @Oaktree about it

its a silly show about a woman in her 30s who works as an OBGYN and is looking for Mr Right. She wears such cute clothes, I was just googling them, she's an awesome woman IRL who is a writer-director-single mom herself and the tone of the show is always funny. i've had a few giggles.

It is not always easy to have a hot drink and breathe, @PeppyPatti will you be having one?

Re: Trying makes it worse

I was able to bounce back @tyme and I feel better

My self care hasn't been good and my hair is in dreadlocks and needs a brush

I feel foreign to myself, at times, but also secure and less alone since accessing new mental health programs
