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: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 if you feel comfortable telling your aunt then i would. you need to have supports in place. or you need to check yourself back into the mental health unit if you cant keep yourself safe.
you obviously need more support right now if your not finding your counsellor helpful and the forums arent being as helpful as you would like.
it sounds like you need to get yourself some more in person support. whether you tell your parents is up to you but from your description of your last day or 2 you cannot keep yourself safe enough to be home alone.

Re: Not Coping

But if I tell my aunt she will tell my parents @outlander

I'm not going back to a psych ward. I don't have time for that. I have an appointment with my GP on Friday so that will have to do.

I'm sorry. It's just been so hard, but the hospital said they were happy for me to go so I must be safe enough. I just tried last night for four hours to talk to KHl, psych triage, SCBS, and so on. I didn't get anywhere until SANE called for police. That was scary.

I still feel so sick. Oddly enough I'm not tired I haven't slept for more than 24 hours. The Dr was so rude in the hospital.

Do you mean with KHL? She is great she wasn't working yesterday and things were just way too hard.

In person support the hospital didn't even help with that. They did nothing.

Re: Not Coping

well if your not well @Birdofparadise8 then it makes no difference whether your to busy. if you cant keep yourself safe then you need to try and create that safe space.

your parents already know your mental health history. it might be a shock initially but they already know how to support you during times of need. wouldnt you rather have their support then keep risking your life?

the hospitals will discharge you if you are physically well enough for you to go home. they also may not have provided extra support because you have your gp, your in person psychologist, your khl counsellor and if you reach out to family your family are there. plus some drs just dont understand which sounds like yours was like that which is unfortunate and awful.
call the mental health helpline and request their support explain to them what happened and you really need the support right now.
its not about what the hospital thinks, its about what you think. if you think you arent able to keep yourself safe then go back to the department or call the psych triage

Hi @Birdofparadise8

Sorry to hear things are so horrible for you right now. I completely agree with @outlander 's every word. It doesn't matter about being busy if you aren't safe. Please follow that guidance.

Warmest wishes

Hanami

Re: Not Coping

I think I should be okay @outlander

I guess, but I don't think my Mum will cope with that just after my nan died.

Mmm, well, I still feel pretty sick. I'm so nauseous.

I think I'll be able to stay safe. I don't want to have a night like that again.

Though I might call psych triage to see if I can see someone.

Thank you.

Re: Not Coping

Hi @hanami

I'm safe right now. I've just got back to uni.

The uni res people know what happened. It's so embarrassing.

Re: Not Coping

Why won't anyone help me? Even KHL won't. I was speaking to someone, and we were chatting away, and she said oh, look, our 20 min is up. What if you continue this with your regular tomorrow? No, of course not. I don't want to. I want to continue our conversation. I will still talk to my regular tomorrow, but she told me to reach out if needed. I waited over an hour for that. Nothing. I'm so alone.

Re: Not Coping

Hey @BluntBo

Sorry for the slow reply. I've had a bit going on for me today.

I still feel very alone to this day. I'm probably worse compared to 2022.

Yeah, I just turned 20 this month.

I'm probably not the best person to ask. I haven't gotten rid of mine. I'm sorry.
