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

That's good then @Eve7

I am sad, lol.

I have a call with eheadspace at 3, and I feel like I will be a bit annoyed after that. She wants to talk about how often I contact them. I don't seem to get in trouble with SANE or the Kids Helpline, so I don't see why I can contact them when I am struggling, especially since I am still waiting to get into a psychologist.

The lady I am going to call said this.

I see you have made a few contacts in the last week. We try at eheadspace to keep the contacts to one per week. This helps us manage demand for all who wish to use the service but also ensures that we are doing a good job of ensuring you have the right support in place to meet your mental health needs. When I call you tomorrow, we can discuss the best possible plan to ensure you have the support you need and discuss how we will manage your contacts with us.
Sorry, that was a lot.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Sorry @Birdofparadise8 I was getting frustrated at my morning so sort of disappeared. It can hurt when someone tells you that you are contacting their service too much. I went through the same thing the other day and it just felt like rejection. I do hope you do get something out of the call Tom and see what they say about what other supports might be available for you. I know it can be tough.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Shaz51 I’m just in bed right now. I feel like sleeping, but had more than enough sleep already. I think some services limit you because our mental health system is under pressure, but it is really annoying since many of us are struggling.

Re: Tw Not Coping

No I’m not allowed to contact till the 11th of Feb. I can only call or web chat once in between if it is urgent.

She just kept talking the whole time I barely got to say anything @Eve7 @creative_writer @Shaz51

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 sounds like the call left you feeling disappointed. 11th of Feb is a long time. Do you think you could try using KHL and SANE more during their period for support? I’m not sure what things are like with eheadspace, I didn’t use them often when I fell under the age bracket because of the waits and them being so busy, so can’t really comment on how helpful they are. I found KHL really helpful to talk to if I was having a crisis. And obviously there is SANE, but I didn’t know about then when I was younger.
