Something’s not right

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: Tw Not Coping

Oh my god yes after the call on Monday I was crying after and was so angry. I felt like wanting to act on my thoughts more after she was so patranising and dismissive @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

hey @creative_writer @Eve7

I just called them again and they said I need to contact catholic care for support and they are there for acute care and I’m not there yet. Fuck the MH system it’s broken and I just wanted someone to help and ask about the suicidal thoughts and she barely did.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I feel you. I feel like they intervene once someone takes action towards ending their life, not before that crisis occurs.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Exactly she didn’t even ask if I had a plan or anything just that I can call if I need it. I just should not have called they are just shit. It makes me more angry then it’s worth. @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 the help out there can be amazing if you are able to get it. A couple of months ago, I was able to access additional support, but that was only after engaging in preparatory suicidal behaviour and my psych also helped.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I’m annoyed you had that response @Birdofparadise8 because I know the acute care team here will always talk to anyone who calls them and prefer people to call before they do anything to hurt themselves.

Sitting with you my friend 💚

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 can you talk to a GP? Maybe that’ll help.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Thank you @creative_writer @Shaz51 @Eve7

Your support means a lot. I have a GP appointment of the 17th which is a while away when I’m literally falling apart here.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Shaz51 I hope you are doing well. Sending hugs back.

@Birdofparadise8 I think the holiday period can be difficult since not as many supports are available. I really do hope you can get some support meanwhile. I find SANE helpline helpful, they will be opening up soon too. You always have the support option and they may know other potential supports.
