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

No, not really. I'm just to call them if I'm in crisis @Snowie

Re: Not Coping

Then it sounds like you have at least some plan in place @Birdofparadise8

Calling a helpline is a really good start if things get bad.

It might be something worth talking to your KHL counsellor about setting up some sort of safety plan or at least some steps in place that you can follow. Perhaps worth a chat about.

Re: Not Coping

I do have a safety plan, but it isn't all that helpful @Snowie

I just go from one end to the other.

Gosh, my psych won't like this tomorrow. He says my suicidal thoughts get in the way of us working on things.

I really think I need my mood stabiliser increased, and then, hopefully, things will be okay.

Re: Not Coping

If it isn't helpful then maybe is need to be redone @Birdofparadise8

I have had mine re done quite a few times depending on how my mental state is at that stage.

Maybe a conversation about your meds needs to happen also.

Perhaps you could bring up your worries with your psych. The that way you can work through them together. Remember that progress isn't just a linear line, we all have our ups and downs.

Better go down the street. I hope your meeting with your friend goes well, talk soon.

Re: Not Coping

Yeah, but he makes it a point that it's an issue I'm suicidal.

It made me sad when he said it. It's not like I can stop it or control what's happening.

Yeah, I will on Friday with my GP, but I'm not sure she will want to increase my meds.

She doesn't like to change meds that much compared to my Pdoc, which I understand.

It's never helpful any time I have one @Snowie

Oh, okay, all good. Have a good afternoon.

Are you around?

Re: Not Coping

Hey @Birdofparadise8, I'm not working the Forums today but have a few minutes. How are you doing this week? RiverSeal

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

Oh okay. I saw you liking a few of my posts from the weekend, so I thought you might be.

Oh, not good. Things are going downhill for me. @RiverSeal

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

Hey! @Birdofparadise8

I'm really sorry that your psychologist has said that, you should never feel like that at all, some things you can't control and that's okay ❤️

I hope you're doing something kind for yourself today

Re: Not Coping

Hi @amber22

Are you around today?

Yeah, it was a while ago last year when I was suicidal, I think, just after my attempt.

I'm like, sorry, I can't help it.

I want to tell him tomorrow how things are getting worse and I'm having intrusive thoughts but I'm not sure how he will take it.
