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

Okay I did that sorry about that the rules are tricky sometimes.

Yeah a bit. To be honest I don’t think I’ll really go through with it I just keep thinking about it @Captain24

@Birdofparadise8 Usually they do not take the rights of clients away. It happens in very special circumstances.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 there is more info online on the mental health act. I feel like there are so many misconceptions out there.

Re: Tw Not Coping

It’s all good. I did the same and got an email! Lol. I was just saving you from the same one.

A guy at work said to me that it’s a massive step from having a plan and executing it. @Birdofparadise8. I have found it is. I have been very close but the peer support workers on here have helped me every time.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh it was! I actually thought of my GP and I had promised her the day before that I wouldn’t. @Birdofparadise8 Only you and tyme know. I didn’t tell my GP or psychiatrist.

My psychiatrist needed to do med changes over this break and was concerned so I didn’t want to add to it!

It’s a really tough spot to be in. Do you have protective factors?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh okay.

Just my family I don’t want them to feel the pain I’m in if I’m gone and I don’t want them to be ashamed of me @Captain24
