Not Coping

No not work just everything in my life turning to shit.

It's been so bad all week.

I do. Do it sometimes @tyme

I'm sorry to hear that you feel everything has turned sour and maybe not the 'dream' you expected? @Birdofparadise8 . It must be so hard to sit in that space - alone. I recognise that when you were living with family, they could inadvertently help you out of a low space. However, I know only too well that living on your own doesn't give you that liberty.

Can you think of what might help at this time?

Also, what are your protective factors in life? I'm not sure if we've discussed protective factors very much.

Through my MH recovery, my protective factors were quite clear - work, responsibility, kids.

What about you?

Thank you @tyme

Not what I hoped for after stating uni back again. No it doesn’t but the life now I guess.

I really don’t know I try so much and nothing is working.

No I don’t think we have but that would be my family, work, uni and my supports I guess. I don’t want to disappoint people.

You won’t see this till later today but I’m working again today from 12:00 to 7:30 so I’ll talk to you uni my breaks and after work. I also will be chatting with my regular at KHL tomorrow I’ve moved it forward from Sunday I can’t cope that long to much has been happening and I need to talk to someone mainly her.

Hi @outlander @Jynx @amber22 @creative_writer @fluffylight @Shaz51 @Kyle1 @Bow

I hope everyone is okay today.

You wouldn't believe I gave my mum a bit of an update on how things are going. I didn't say about my suicidal thoughts, but said my meds aren't working, the clinical trial and telling her about my psychologist and pdoc.

Hi @tyme

How are you?

Work it so busy luckily I finish at 7:30.

My regular at KHL will call me at 8:30 so that's nice.

Heya @Birdofparadise8 ,

How are you? It's good you finish earlier today. With your KHL appointments, do you have to book them in?

Hi @tyme

Yes I know so good.

Yes its a new trial they are doing so she will just give me an outbound call and I don't have to wait in there queue.

Did you see my reply about the protective factors?

I found the post about protective factors @Birdofparadise8 🙂

I think the fact about not wanting to disappoint people is a big one for me too.

Yeah well I don't want my family to think down on me or something @tyme

I also talked to my mum a bit today about everything and starting this clinical trial, finding a new pdoc and my psychologist.

Do you think it would be worth call St V’s triage and see if they can help with the pdoc part? I think the lady I spoke to said I could but I’m not sure I would be high risk enough.

It’s weird being to high risk for some and not others.

Do you know much about CM and what they do? Like do they talk to you and stuff or just managing things?

Hi @outlander

how are you?

I’ve nearly finished work thank god I’m just on my break. I finish at 7:30.
