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

@tyme, do you tell all your supports about every aspect of your MH. I certainly can’t. All my GP has on file is bipolar disorder, my psych and pdoc know there are cormobidities. I’ve known my psych for the longest so she knows me the best

Re: Not Coping

Yeah, I might have to. It's hard, though, not being able to express my emotions. Right now, I'm so close to crying. I'll just have to wait until I go to bed.

Gosh, I'm here for three weeks, and that is long enough. Then, with them for another week in Melbourne, so a month in total as well.

I feel like it's going to affect my depression more, though, if I don't have an outlet. I'll have to find something else, and I don't really want that to be a bad type of outlet. Things have started to improve, and I just don't want that progress to go away, and I become really sad and then suicidal.

I wish you good luck as well. Will you see them for Christmas or are you with your sister @tyme?

Re: Not Coping

Oh, did that happen today or last night @bartart23

What were the Police like?

When I had the Police come to me, they had no clue, were very dismissive and had no understanding about MH. I got locked in the car with the thing in the back. It was not like I was arrested or anything, but it was very scary.

Why do you feel sick? Do you eat some bad food?

Re: Not Coping

Oh I am sorry the police were like that to you @Birdofparadise8

TW: Police

Content/trigger warning

It was last night I was hiding in the dark so they couldn't see me they threaten to kick the door down again I opened the door but kept the screen door locked they kept asking stupid questions

The police know me so well

I just told them to shut up because they don't help or know anything about MH or thoughts

I had 2 males cops males are so not understanding at all the girls are the same

He said the ambulance have to come and check me out and I said I am my own doctor I don't need them

Anyways 2 girls paramedics came and I said I am only talking to one and the males and the other lady can stay outside which they did

I told her everything and I refused to go to the hospital because there's no point

Doctors don't care I stayed home

Re: Not Coping

g'day @bartart23

Sorry to hear you are having a tough time right now.

I have been having difficult days before, so I know how you feel. I called Lifeline a few weeks ago, and the person I spoke with was understanding. I found it was a good experience for me, highly recommend them if you need to chat. You can always give them a call anytime day or time if you are struggling I reckon? The number is 13 11 14.

Do you have people around you to support you during this difficult time? What's for dinner this evening? Do you have much on for the evening as well?

Looking forward to hearing from you
