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

@maddison Dont think so. Dont know that movie.

At least I know some of the movies now.. lol

@EternalFlower

It would have been confusing to see that ending as a child. SO very confusing messages about empowerment I would think.

It can be hard to break out of isolation. Most of my life I have not had many people to relate to, as they could not relate to my experiences, and after a while I get tired of always understanding them, and feeling dismissed.

@TAB My gay daughter told me about the T&L movie.

Re: Trying makes it worse

Hi @TAB @tyme

It's a movie about a meddling mother, but she's also quite caring, and her depdent relationship with her daughter, her daughters friends, and her own inner Loneliness.

Susan plays the mum, Rose Byrne the daughter.
