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

Ah okay @creative_writer

I have gold so that's probably why. It sucks you need gold to go into a private psych hospital.

It shouldn't be like that.

I'm on my parents.

Have you been to a psych ward?

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I’ve been in short stay, but was not admitted into a psych ward. But every time I went to hospital for my MH, my parents freaked out. So I’ve had to try to stay away, I used to be insanely suicidal all the time, like I would start planning my end. I did get outpatient support which did help and I was able to text supports if things got bad, and there was a choice of linking into community supports over the weekend

Oh okay I wonder why th, I wonder why they freaked out.

Mine were happy I was getting support even though we haven't talked about it since.

How did your supports let you text them? I highly doubt my psychologist would ever do that.

At least you got support so you didn't have to go into hospital which is a good thing @creative_writer

@Birdofparadise8, mine don’t trust the MH system here. My mum has intense separation anxiety and will totally freak if with hospital stays.

That was when I was with the HOPE team. I would be able to reach out over text to my allocated supports. Psychs don’t typically do that

Ah okay @creative_writer

That makes sense since you living at home. I'm in Melbourne so my parents can't control whether I go in or not.

Did you find the Hope team help?

Can I ask did you got into the Hope team because of an attempt or just planning one?

I somehow didn't get in for either. St V’s don't seem to care at all.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I didn’t get the chance to attempt. I was googling how to make a lethal attempt and wrote a concerning poem. I hadn’t gotten as far as actually going through it. I wasn’t at immediate risk of suicide, but was at risk of things escalating. It did once during my period with HOPE, but I was interrupted with my sister and mum coming into the room, so I had to pretend nothing happened, I had to stop what I was going to do. I guess it was not in my destiny to make an attempt then and there. HOPE did help

Re: Not Coping

That's exciting @Blackbird11

I hope you have a safe trip.

How long is the drive? Will you play music?
