Not Coping

I'm curious to know whether he is speaking from experience. Maybe he has tried too, and that's where it got him - nowhere? @Birdofparadise8 . Perhaps that's what he really thought? IDK.

I'm wondering if you would be willing to let him know how you felt about his comment, and ask him straight out? Even if it's just to get it off your shoulders.

When comments upset me, I like to get it off my chest and speak to the person directly. It takes away the need to ruminate over it. Ruminating about it is not worth the effort, in my experience.

I don't think so @tyme

He said, 'Why don't you just try and end your life and that might get you up the list for a pdoc'. I said to him no, and he said oh, okay. So I'm not sure if he has actually done it.

Do you think it would be worth texting him about it? I don't want to upset him.

Just to be the devil's advocate, do you think you have read into what he said a little too much?

Of course I wasn't there, so what was said includes body language and tone which I can't 'read' in your post. But I would've taken his comment as: that's how hard it is to get a pdoc - you actually need to try and end your life to see one....

Do you think so? I could be absolutely wrong. But yeah, if it's troubling you, it's good to let him know. e.g. "When you said XYZ, did you mean.....?"

Only a suggestion.

I guess maybe I could have, but it still upset me him saying that.

I think he really meant it to end your life, not that it is that hard to get into one. But also in a joke. Does that make sense?

What should I do about how bad things have got? No one seems to be helping me. I thought the hospital would have told psych triage or something. I see my GP on Friday, so I'm unsure what she will suggest. I also don't see my psych till sometime in October.

Are you having fun camping @tyme?

How was uni @creative_writer

I hope you are doing well.

Thank you it isn't the one I want but anything is better than nothing. when I'm getting fired in the next week.

I can't remember but you are not working are you right now is that right?

I'm still quite under the weather. @Birdofparadise8 The children cooked dinner for me tonight. Funny thing is, they made their own favourite 😆 Cheesy pasta bake

In my travels with the MH system, if they don't think the MH system will be helpful for you at that stage/time, they generally want you in the community @Birdofparadise8 . It's complicated, but they sort of 'know' what works.... it's hard to explain.

@tyme I texted him, and he said it was his dark, dry sense of humour.

Now, he is asking if I'm suicidal.

So they would prefer me to attempt again then @tyme
