Something’s not right

I can’t cope

I can’t cope

Hi. I’m new and have never been in anything like this before.
I’m really struggling with depression at the moment and just need a place to vent.
there is no reason as to why I feel this way. I just hate myself and feel like I’m an unworthy and useless person. I don’t have a partner or many friends. I feel like I keep pushing them away when I’m down. I’m just not worthy of them. I hate life and just wish I would go to sleep and not wake up. I feel so much emotional pain inside but numb at the same time. None of this makes any sense but it just how I feel.

I hear you @Captain24 I felt quite impacted by the news. It is good they are celebrating his work.

Re: I can’t cope

Watched master chef last night… and will continue to watch it I think… but wanted to see the Lego final tonight.

it’s cool you found a pet friendly motel! We did a family holiday a couple of years ago and found a pet friendly Airbnb.

I found out last night that I have sleeping tablet prn. I think it helped a little bit last night. So asked for it tonight again. I was taking it every night at home, but when I came here they stopped it… I didn’t realise it was written up as a prn.

there is a night time nurse who likes to shine the torch right in your face and stand over you and wake you up. I had her last night. Kept waking me up. No other nurse does it. Apparently she woke another patient up and tried to have a conversation with them :face_with_rolling_eyes:

I’m glad they are airing his last season. @Paperdaisy.

Can they maybe write it up as a regular med? @Bow That nurse sounds a little rude! I hope you get left alone

to get some sleep.

@Captain24 Even though I had been on it for a number of weeks prior to coming into hospital, it’s not a medication that your suppose to be on long term I don’t think.
When I see my pdoc again I’m going to ask if he will increase one of my other night meds and see if that helps. I think I will also ask about going back on the meds for my nightmares and flashbacks.

Re: I can’t cope

Yes indeed @Paperdaisy.….. you’d think that she would know that given this is a mental health hospital that people struggle enough with sleep!

Re: I can’t cope

Ahh I get that @Bow. My Pdoc said wasn’t to take my prn unless it was absolutely necessary. So I didn’t even bring it with me.

Hopefully there is something that will help you sleep and stop the nightmares and flashbacks. I’m lucky, I’m a pretty good sleeper but I’m finding with my med adjustments I’m sleep less. That could start to be a problem for me though.

Re: I can’t cope

ah that's hard @Captain24 I would encourage you to keep an eye on that sleep, for myself, I know my MH declines when I haven't had enough sleep.

Re: I can’t cope

I will @Paperdaisy. I’m having enough problems. I don’t need lack of sleep to add to it.
