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 @maddison thank u so much for Ur message 💓

I second guess myself as well and I put myself in situations where I blame myself for things I couldnt have possibly prevented

I see a few silver linings,

I did express my pain to her, I told her I was in pain and distressed by crossing paths with her in the community, and the tone of that interaction. I'm glad I got to say that to her and give truth to what happened. Her reaction is irrelevant.

I agree with @TAB it's best to let go which I'm trying

I'm sorry u also struggle with second guessing urself, it's a hard experience and confusing at times.

My psychiatrist today shared with me that he has met many clinicians sadly who blame the patient for anything that goes wrong,

The key *, he said, was for a clinical to look deeper and see why the patient feels the way they do. Or what has happened in the dynamic to create the problems.

It was a nice moment with him.

Colony has an actress I like....I'm glad it is OK. What will u watch next?

Hi @TAB thanks

I feel proud I spoke up against what happened and stayed clear and strong, and also expressed my feelings and reality.

It's not easy to do.

Well hopefully it all works out in the end @EternalFlower yes, sometimes its the hardest thing to stick up for yourself.

@EternalFlower That is really good news. You no longer have to put up with substandard care, and I hope the person involved has been reprimanded. Each relationship on a health care team is unique, with some space for individuality but some bottom lines re duty of care.

Hope the next week is better for you.

Thanks @Appleblossom @TAB

I spoke to my dr and I feel validated that they heard me, that my voice mattered.

I hope she will get some reprimand to protect others, just to be aware that we have rights

I feel like things are finally changing for me and it's a major victory
