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

Thanks @Appleblossom I’ve been resting all day. Yes, it is a long way to the ground, especially when not fully awake. My face is so swollen. I’ve fallen heaps of times. Whoops! This was the worst.
Thanks for thinking of me.
Night night to you, Appleblossom @TAB @EternalFlower @Former-Member @hanami @Former-Member @Bow @Eve7 @tyme @Oaktree and anyone else around.
❤️❤️

Morning @Former-Member,

I'm really sorry to hear you had a fall – they can be a little scary so I hope you've been taking good care of yourself since. Fingers crossed for a clear scan 🤞

Re: Trying makes it worse

@EternalFlower It can be difficult with people making decisions about our life and invading our privacy. There is a saying 'nothing about us without us' ... might be helpful??

My problem is I am too agreeable and then realise later I should have stood up to something. Just cant keep in mind my little bit of sass ... cos it runs and hides out in me big toe.

I Gotta grow those boundaries, thick skin or whatever ya wanna call it, but it aint comin naturally ... cos I am way old ...

@Former-Member Hope your face is healiing and scans are alright.

@Former-Member @Eve7 Know you have a lot on too.

@TAB New chapter

Stood up to lady in supermarket in a good way today. The 3 people in convo were fine but I did not let her put down the homeless ... as always shady ... and she agreed ... she was just trying to be nice to me ... cos I was vague and left my wallet in the car.

Take Care all ...

Re: Trying makes it worse

Oh gosh @Appleblossom was looking at hoards of middle class aspirational w 25year old cars (re carpark) setting up stalls for market and wondering if they thought I was homeless re attire. Guess they did. Had half a thought about buying a coffee from one of them but guess would have been money up front lol. Dont need demographer w@nkers like in media these days just look at what people drive or dont. Prob all owned at least one home tho lol
