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

Hi @Appleblossom rainy day in can be a chance to recharge, hope u and Ur son are OK and taking care in this delicate time....day by day...

U have good taste in movies!

I have just watched a horror/thriller called Yellowjackets. I'm forgetting her name but the lead actress is so cool. She's got a deep voice and is very thin, and has been in lots of movies.

LOL I've never seen Shaun t phe Sheep @TAB

I just went late night shopping which was fun.

I feel glad I got things done as tbh I avoid crowds so this was perfect.

Re: Trying makes it worse

Shaun the Sheep was an acquired taste @EternalFlower wasnt a fan at first.
Its good. Plus amazing how the characters can 'act' in clay mation eg facial expressions.

its on 2-3 times a day if check EPG on tv on ABC ME and KIDS. Um same last wk w late night shopping. Dont normally go out after dark . Was easy to get around shop well dodging re stocking staff. Small place i went to I was outnumbered by staff re stocking . Very few customers

Hi @TAB sounds amazing, is it Australian? I guess would be if on abc often...

I also don't go out after dark, but have found I really like night driving and shopping these days.

Hi @maddison @Appleblossom @tyme @Shaz51

How are u? @Appleblossom how is Ur son? Hope feeling OK.

Today I've done washing and pottered around.

Kmart, bought some candles. Got a bit impulsive there! And lost. Had no idea how to find anything lol

Finally feel like I've recovered from being sectioned.

Don't have any upcoming therapy appointments because dr is booked out.

When I tried to be put on waiting list receptionist barked at me,

She said do u want to be on wait list for Monday or Tuesday appoitnemtns?

I said he doesn't work Tuesday. She said, " So u want me to put u on the wItlist for Monday, is that what Ur trying to get at? Why not just say that? Honestly ive had enough"

I cried for like 20 minutes after. Gr and not ok.

Today is a bright and sunshine day which...I dunno...is always a bit odd when u don't feel that inside.

Re: Trying makes it worse

@EternalFlower I am doing well. Good you got a few things done. Had a good morning socially, and busy in garden in afternoon and had a few hugs from my son.

A bad receptionist can really put me off a medical clinic.

@TAB Think I am seen it with my son years ago ...

Take Care

Hi @Appleblossom must be a great feeling getting a real, pure hug.
