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

Fair to muddling is a new one to me @TAB I guess I'm about the same. Well it's good that you worked out why bloods were unexpected.

My problem is sorted for now, at least. I possibly overreacted & was maybe silly for posting. My mind went a bit haywire for a moment. I think overreacting is my way of ensuring safety. I have let things slide in the past to avoid confrontation or making a fuss. This particular person has proven they are untrustworthy & a danger. Therefore, I instantly react at a 10, although the realistic threat may have been a 5 or 6. I think it's better to do too much, than not enough in those types of situations. Men likely see it much different to women.

Thanks for your support. I'm not doing the best at the moment.

@EternalFlower

Sounds like you have been on an emotional rollercoaster, with being in ED, the bank, the receptionist spat and now looking for better long term support. Just keep telling yourself you deserve it and I hope the new team is a better fit.

Sounds like both you and maddison need the calm and just breathe wisdom.

Glad you have your animals @maddison to get back to feeling safe in your space.

I am alright. Nothing too scary. The area is prone to flood but not close to many houses. The river is a lot lower than most buildings. The ladies at the fete were all serene busyness it felt good to drop off some bits and bobs and see them.

Re: Trying makes it worse

Hey @maddison, I am new to the forums. When I heard about this service, I was so impressed that people can jump on at any time and have a community of like-minded people to support them at that very minute. The forums also mean a person does not actually have to speak the words in person, face anyone, and can do it all from wherever you are and through whatever situation is unfolding. The fact that you have used it at a time, when you did, is the first time I have really resonated with all those benefits that I was impressed with to begin with. You have used the service like a pro!


I am glad you are safe now, but I am sorry to hear that you are having a tough time. I saw that someone had mentioned your animals. What kind of animals do you have? Animals can be so soothing during the worst of days.

Re: Trying makes it worse

Well its a twist on 'fair to middling' @maddison Get sorta ok but not getting anywhere Well depends where this person was I guess. Prob best to act then worry about it later than not to act. Can you talk to someone in real life?
