Something’s not right

Ideation

Ideation

TW: rape

I feel like everyone I've ever gotten close to is narcissistic and they all try to leach off me in various ways so no I don't really have anyone I can trust or go to. I have a form of psychosis and I get discriminated against for it by the people I live with generally or the people from my University - which I graduated from thankfully. It happens at work. I can't tell what is me being paranoid and what is people genuinely going out of their way to hurt me so they can compete with me. My work is stressful and I'm trying to save up for a house so I don't have the risk of getting kicked out again. I know I am being stalked and I am somewhat well known. But I don't have the money to get protection legally and police just gaslight me further and invalidate all of the concerns as if I am perfectly safe and nothing wrong is going on. I have been punched outright in the street by some random guy and knocked out. I have been raped countless times. I can't really go anywhere because I assume men will try to corner me into something. I don't really want to leave my room. No one shows me empathy or kindness yet they expect me to help them at my own expense. If anything they all put me down. I don't really feel like I am actually a woman so I think I'm trans but my family and a lot of family connections are homophobic and transphobic so I can't ever feel like I can be myself. All I have in my life is work so my money means a lot to me because it reflects my time and effort but I have a sister who tries to intimidate me into giving her money and if I don't she attacks me and smears me only to come crawling back later to try to get more money and its clear she doesn't care about me but expects me to look out for her.

We care @PoodlePig ,

I hope you will be able to connect with others on the forums here.

Do you have any supports available to you? Or any friends you can talk to?

If you'd like to speak to someone, you can speak to some of our awesome counsellors on 1800 187 263. They are available M-F 10am to 10pm.

Please take care.

Re: Ideation

Hi yeah I think I'll call more regularly cos I can't open up to anything with my shitty friends cos they get offended cos they are the reason I am suffering and want to demonize me so if I show weakness they capitalise on it or try to make it all worse. I don't really have anyone in my life I can count on or trust.

I'm sorry to hear @PoodlePig . What about some professional supports?

You are worthy to be heard. I'm here for a chat if you feel like talking 🙂

I just spoke to my psychologist for an hour which helped a bit but now I'm back to having no one in my room. I am too scared to really leave my room cos everyone I interact with eventually tries to hurt me.

Re: Ideation

Do you have things that you enjoy doing @PoodlePig ? Activities you don't need others to engage in?

I guess it's important to remember to be kind to yourself. Do you like going for walks?

Re: Ideation

I don't really want to be alive so I just try to make money for now cos I'm distracting myself from the pain but I don't enjoy anything anymore.

Re: Ideation

I found myself in a similar space to what you are describing @PoodlePig . I was living to die. I just couldn't understand why people wanted to live longer - didn't make sense to me!

Over the years, I sought professional help. Today, I'm not only surviving, I'm actually thriving. That doesn't mean I do not have problems though. I've learnt to work through them. I still see a psychologist regularly, just for a debrief.

Have you seen a GP about how you've been feeling lately? Do you have any social or formal supports you can talk to?

I do like art but I only draw and paint when I feel inspired.

I talk to my little brother but I can't dump too much on him. Yeah I know in the back of my mind if I work towards it I can shape a happy life but it's so difficult to get through each day until then.
