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

Haha.. You started it @TAB I'm glad you did. I had forgotten all about him. Why is he so funny?

Re: Trying makes it worse

I've had this conversation before with others on here @maddison it's like he's a double -fake or so fake he's fake or something lol, either way, it's contrived, and that's the whole point I guess

Oh interesting take @TAB I don't know enough about him for in depth opinions. First-ish impressions - I really get his style. I think I like him for the same reasons you don't!

Re: Trying makes it worse

I have no idea @maddison I sort of like him. Sometimes.

Hey @EternalFlower

I'm feeling like my cloud drawing was overly ambitious. I have been trying... It is sooo hard! I can make them look like fluffy kids drawings, I'm aiming for realistic. The original artist is a genius!!

Yep, I m one of those odd ppl you see in the street who is still wearing a mask. I do it for a few different reasons - those of us with social anxiety can feel comfortable in a mask. I also do it because mental health diagnosis, even depression - means immuno-compromised. Our brains, body's are complete systems. I do it to protect myself & hm. Occasionally I notice I get odd looks from people. The majority are unmasked these days.

I have also been known to keep my sunglasses on in medical appointments, or anytime it makes me feel more secure.
