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: Not Coping

Yeah I know @outlander

I'm really not sure. It's going to be so hard. I've got a telehealth GP appointment at 11:45 so I can get her to do a referral for the same clinic.

Maybe I’ll just tell them I’m wanting to go back first and see what they say and go from there.

Re: Not Coping

Maybe @Birdofparadise8 see how you go. It’s good that you’re going to talk to them about going back. Even if you don’t mention the attempt you can explain to them that it’s getting a lot harder for you to cope.

Re: Not Coping

Yeah and with everything with my nan, losing my psychologist, pdoc, and job @outlander I don't see why they wouldn't understand.

Re: Not Coping

hello @creative_writer

And thank you for your well wishes.

I started new meds yesterday and met with a new psychologist 2day. (She's great!).

I'm still topsy-turvey, but moving as best I can (which isn't much, but...)

I hope you, too, are well at this time. Enjoying the Spring 🫂🙏

Re: Not Coping

My GP has done a referral for an inpatient admission, so I hope I will be able to go in there soon. I think I need something to help stabilise me.

Re: Not Coping

No, not really @Kyle1

I hope your psych appointment was good. I have my first one with a new one tomorrow.

Did you stop that medication you were on simultaneously with me?

So did I. It didn't help me sleep or anything.

Re: Not Coping

Hi @amber22

I could be better, to be honest. I need to go inpatient again. I don't think I'm going to stay safe the next few weeks otherwise, and I don't really want to go to ED again.

I did enjoy the Barbie movie when I saw it a few weeks ago.

How is your partner? He had a procedure correct.
