Every time I turn around

Every time I turn around

Hi All,

First time here. Guess I just want somewhere to reach out to.

I have bipolar and complex trauma. The last several months both have been playing up, more so the trauma stuff.

Every time I turn around there is a problem or issues. And then every other time, things shut in my face. I have spent years trying to get help and settle everything. Yet nearly every time, people run out of ideas and I am too complex.

I sit her and go how can I be too complex?

I work, I participate in the community, I am back to studying full time. On top of this I function - just with difficulties. How am I too complex?

All I would like is some help to deal with issues. But because I am post-grad psychology, there are few therapists that will help. Again, live in a isolated area, so limited services. Oh but try telehealth - oh wait, your too high risk.

How are you not supposed to get down and sick of everything? How are you supposed to see the point in continuing? It's not like I am not trying to sort things, and waiting for everyone to fix my problems. So why does everyone feel it's "too hard".

sorry, probably a slight rant.

Plus then I just curl up and become worse - if possible right.... it is.

I do wonder why I try to prolonged the inevitable. Should just take the drive. There be no recovery

I'm sorry you call yourself a 'bipolar person' @Saree . Remember you are you - you are not your label/diagnosis.

Hi all,

I just want to say I'm sorry for the way I posted a bit back, especially to @tyme .

Things are worse than ever but not the place to raise.

I'm sorry 😞

Re: Every time I turn around

Thanks @Paperdaisy

But think same principle sticks atm.

We have running issues with moving forward. Looking at starting a family. I've had an ectopic pregnancy already that pretty much destroyed me. And now complications are extremely high. Partner won't even consider coming off meds. Meds are a complication plus the extra benefits and then the ectopic as well.

My depression that shouldn't be happening is worse than ever and I'm not ok.

No one knows. I'm so close to finalising stuff. The only hold back is what if I fail like the other times.

I'm not sure I shouldve started this message. I'm sorry

Re: Every time I turn around

Hey @Saree I have sent you an email. Are you able to please get back to me?

If you're having these thoughts I would encourage you to call crisis support or 000 so you can get the help you deserve.

It sounds like starting a family is really important to you. Would it be helpful to contact PANDA or Gidget Foundation for some support around this? You shouldn't have to go through this alone 💝

Re: Every time I turn around

@Saree if you're having these thoughts, it's important to talk to someone about it.

I would encourage you to have a look at some of these resources and please have a look at my email 💝
