Not Coping

It is so much fun watching my fur babies together @creative_writer Toby is always right by my side but Clover does not care ...if she wants cuddles or pats she just walks over the top of him lol She also likes to pounce and run - which annoys Tobes first (mainly because he is often asleep) then he chases her. Outside they do the same and I often have one sitting on one side of me and the other on the other side ...it is like a family outing to the back yard hahaha

All OK here @Birdofparadise8 , @Zoe7 , @creative_writer , @Eve7. @Appleblossom

Back to work today and it is raining ☔

Could not visit mum for a few days due to her not feeling the best

How do I get over " assuming " all the time ????

Hey everyone @Shaz51 @Zoe7 @creative_writer @Eve7 @Appleblossom @Captain24

Weather down here in the south is okay I think mostly up north is the rain.

The lady I speak to at Kids Helpline and I contacted the MH triage team. Her idea of doing a three way call was such a great idea because I was a little afraid talking to the lady as she was a bit sharp. Though she is going to help and get me into the acute care team which is so good because last week I didn’t seem to me mentally sick enough for it so it was great having KHL there to help advocate for me. Hopefully I will get something out of this now which would be good.

@Captain24 did you get your MH nurse through the triage system with the Acute Care Team where you live?

I'm sorry if this the wrong place to post it - I just saw this thread and it made sense to how I feel.

I am seriously not coping.

I am not someone that can just reach out to people. I have a couple of friends but none who would be able to understand how I feel right now.

Whilst talking with a few other people, I've pretty much been told that because I'm not assertive or "manly" (her words) I'm not likely to find a partner. My last partner is currently divorcing me. I'm 47 so too old to be starting again.

I'm not someone imbued with self confidence. Quite the opposite in fact.

I am alone in every sense of the word.

I live alone, mentally I am withdrawn from the world.

This forum is probably one of the only places I really feel safe sharing anything.

I just see little point in continuing - getting up in the morning has been getting more difficult recently. Facing a new day is just becoming less and less attractive.

My ADHD means my brain is racing at a thousand miles an hour.

I want to run far far away but financially I can't and even if I could afford it, I feel like someone has replaced my my muscles with molten lead.
Just not coping.
Sorry.

Hi @mr-robot-75

Welcome it’s nice to meet you.

I definitely feel you there with the not coping and I’m sure a lot of others on here do too.

I’m sorry to hear your getting divorced that sucks I do have any experience in that sense as I’m not even in my 20s yet so I don’t have much wisdom or experience, but I’m definitely here to listen and help your not alone here and always welcome to have a chat.

Hey everyone @Shaz51 @Zoe7 @creative_writer @Eve7 @Appleblossom @Captain24

The Acute Care Team contacted me just now and I have an appointment to see them tomorrow after work. Shows how advocating for yourself can get things moving quickly.

Thanks @Birdofparadise8

Gone through a lot over the past two years and I've been hitting a lot of bumps lately. Then there are things that just make me feel like I'm no longer needed in this world.

And comments like saying that (effectively) because I'm quiet and respectful, not "assertive and manly" then I'm not attractive ... just makes the world that bit more difficult to face.

@Birdofparadise8 I am glad the 3 way with KHL made a difference.

Yes people who are still working can be carrying a lot.

Hope it all works out. Keep us in the loop.

@mr-robot-75 Hello and welcome.

I think a lot of people jump onto threads if they resonate.

That is only one person's limited opinion.

For my part, when men are too over the top, it triggers my neck pain, so not a good match. Horses for courses.

Be your best YOU.

I’m sure you have a purpose in life do you have any children, brothers and sisters if you do I’m sure they must matter to you.

One thing I find when people are mean is to try and block it out and not have them around you. Is there a possibility you could leave them and try and find people that you like and are kind too you for who you are @mr-robot-75

Thank you @Appleblossom

I’m a bit nervous for the appointment now tomorrow I didn’t think everything would happen so fast I said I was free Friday. T clinician called back and wanted me there tomorrow so I hope it’s not too serious like I have the suicidal thoughts, but today I’m okay I’m not planning on acting on them like I was planing yesterday.
