Not Coping

Hey everyone how are you all?

@RiverSeal @Shaz51 @NatureLover @tyme @Former-Member @Eve7 @Former-Member @amber22 @Jynx @FloatingFeather

I'm not doing great at all today. I'm feeling down. I also keep beating myself up for everything and feel like I'm just failing. I need a break from everything. It's getting so hard that I don't know how to keep going anymore especially since I can't talk to anyone around me as they are leaving me or don't understand.

Hope you don’t mind me reaching out I just really need a chat and though I could come on here and vent and talk for a bit.

Thank you

Re: Tw Not Coping

TW: Losing Weight

Thank you @outlander

Content/trigger warning
I'm scared the scales will go up if I eat too much.

I'm just confused whether I am overreacting or I am developing something.

My family would see it as a good thing for me to lose weight. But I don't think I'm using the right motives for it and how I am doing it.

There are not questions. It's more of a statement, I guess.

Re: Tw Not Coping

it can be a fine line to being dedicated to loosing weight and having an unhealthy relationship with food and health.
its good to set yourself mini goals along the way that suit your lifestyle and are realistic.
you also need to remember that cheat days, off days and treats are also ok.
if your recognising that maybe your not going about it the right way then it would be good to have someone on board to help you manage your health.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Mmm yeah maybe. I think I'll monitor it for a few weeks and see how things go. I might mention it to my psychologist.

I also see my rude pdoc tomorrow. SO fun not.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Dear @Birdofparadise8 @outlander ,

I can see you are having a robust conversation here about losing weight and the motives behind it.

Please be mindful of others reading on, as discussion of eating disorder thoughts, methods etc can be distressing for others.

Please use trigger warnings and spoiler alerts when discussing eating behaviours.

This thread will be closely monitored to ensure it aligns with Community Guidelines.

@Birdofparadise8 , if you have any concerns about the thoughts you are having, it would be best to share it with your treating team.

This excerpt from the Community Guidelines may guide you when posting:

During your time on the Forums please share helpful content, focussed on wellbeing, recovery and help seeking behaviours

If you have any questions, please email the forums team at team@saneforums.org

Re: Tw Not Coping

Good idea @Birdofparadise8


Doesn’t Sound like your psychiatrist suits what you’re after maybe. Do you think you could ask to change to someone else in the clinic


Sorry @holdinghope5 I felt I was within the guidelines sorry If it’s not. My phone won’t let me add the trigger warnings to it either so I’m just trying to be careful

Re: Tw Not Coping

I have mri scans tomorrow and I was going to go for a walk but it’s raining and I have a god awful cough that is making it hard to do anything esp sleep so resting will probably be the plan before I head back to work

What about you

Re: Tw Not Coping

He is the only one that works at the uni clinic @outlander

St V's psych triage said I could call them if I didn't like the appointment after tomorrow.

No he is rude to me, doesn't listen etc I haven't seen him in three + months. I just want someone that actually cares about me.
