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

well then you need to try and find things that are meaningful to you. find ways to reduce temptation. reduce risk. use your coping strategies and learn self soothing stratgies for when people arent around.

Re: Not Coping

Yeah, I see my Pdoc in the morning before our family meeting @outlander

I'll let my psych no this morning if I have time. I think the other things need to be addressed to see if I should continue seeing him.

Re: Not Coping

Hey @outlander

I mentioned my concerns about body language, and he said he does it because the body shows a lot, and he doesn't want me to think I've done something wrong, so that's good.

I wish I could just let myself be vulnerable. I don't know why I can't.

How are you?

Hey @tyme @creative_writer

How are you both?

I'm sorry I never replied to your posts last week. I was upset and thought it best to stay away for a bit.

Re: Not Coping

hi @Birdofparadise8 its really good that you brought that up with the psychologist and he explained why he does what he does. he is right, non verbal ques are just as important as the spoken ones.

its hard being vulnerable, it takes time to build the trust for some things

Re: Not Coping

Yes, and he told me I don't need to build trust. Um, like yes, I do @outlander

At the end of the session, I told him how I'm worried about when I get home, and he seemed annoyed; he said my suicidal thoughts are taking away from being able to do the work. I'm like, well, I can't help being suicidal, and he said if we do the work, you won't be as suicidal. I find it annoying when people say that. My old psych said that to me as well. Like I don't want to be suicidal, you don't want me to be suicidal, yet here I am, and this is wrong.

Also, I am safe right now. I'm still in hospital so I can't do anything.

You said you have limited sessions with your psych. Have you used for ten sessions for the year? I have reached the safety net and my $210 session cost my mum about $22, which is so good.
