Not Coping

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

I'm not sure how I'm going to enjoy today with my family coming over for my birthday. I'm feeling really flat today. I just hope I can muster up some strength to be okay.

I'm also not sure what I'm going to do about my meds as I get a weekly amount and I don't have any scripts on me. I only have enough till Wednesday and I'm probably staying until Saturday or Sunday.

Re: Tw Not Coping

if you need meds @Birdofparadise8 just call your pharmacy that you use and ask them to send the scripts to the one you would be going to while staying with family. they can fax them so you can get them refilled there. ive had to do that a few times when ive had extended stays.

your grieving for a family member, you dont have to hide it. if anything its perfectly natural to be sharing with your family that your struggling with grief right now. its one of the most normal things people can be going through. theyre not going to judge you for being sad for grieving

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hey @Birdofparadise8

Happy birthday! ❤️ I'm hearing you are having a tough time with your family coming over and birthdays can be stressful with families. Totally valid that you are feeling a bit flat with so much going on for you today. Perhaps staying connected here on the Forums and connecting with the community for a while might stir up some strength and you are pretty resilient and I have confidence in you.

Sorry to hear that you are running out of meds but there are a few options for you. Call your GP and let them know about your current situation and book a telehealth appointment to have new scripts issued and sent to your phone via SMS. Try calling the Nurse Online but Googling it in your state or territory and have a chat with them about your situation. There is also this website and app Instant Scripts which I haven't used but I heard good things about it. You could also make a GP appointment wherever you can get in and they might be able to issue new scripts. And you can always go to an ED at a hospital and they might be able to issue you with a temporary supply but you might have to wait for a long time as it won't be a priority.

Let me know if you have any questions or need more information.

Take care

RiverSeal

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah but I only get a week worth of medication at a time and if I get a new script filled that means I'll have month of medication @outlander

Yeah I guess, but everyone seems to be holding them self together aka my mum and dad.

How are you?

Re: Tw Not Coping

parents are good at holding things together while they sort out funeral arrangements. @Birdofparadise8 just because they look like theyre functioning doesnt mean they feel sad too. your also alot younger then your parents, your not expected to be able to hold things together and everyone grieves in their own way.

thats why you call your pharmacy and let them know the situation. they may authorise another week to be done up as your away and didnt take enough medications with you. just explain that to them. the chemist where you are may just dispense a weeks worth till your home

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hi @RiverSeal

I've come home to my family.

Yeah it's definitely been a hard couple days. I feel it's just getting worse.

I will have a look into that. I might call my GP or pharmacy like what @outlander said as well. They might be able to get just a week supply to the chemist over here.

That's a good idea I didn't know you could get an instant script.
