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

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh, okay, so what should I do to go inpatient in the hospital?

The psych triage said to not go to ED, keep doing therapy, use distraction techniques and call helplines.

I am already doing all that, so what else can I do? To be honest with you, I was the closest to doing it @tyme last night. I was so scared.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@tyme, I’m not sure whether you’re referring to “East Asian/south East Asian food” or just “Asian” food as a whole. I would probably say, that I mostly eat “Asian” food as a whole. I am ethnic after all. I ate from a Vietnamese place today, we go there sometimes, but I eat mostly ethnic food cooked at home.

Hi @creative_writer

MH system sucks I am trying to get help and they say not to go to ED, try distraction techniques and do therapy. I'm like, I am doing that, but it's not working so why am I still having such strong suicidal thoughts? I feel as though the triage team didn't even want to help me.

What is your favourite Asian dish?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I wish I knew what to say. MH system needs to be improved. I’m not sure. Do you have a favourite Asian dish?

Re: Tw Not Coping

If things get worse, then ED it is @Birdofparadise8 .

MH triage don't want people all turning up to ED (they are swamped already). And it's true. Community services are what is needed. However, ED can also act as a circuit breaker. It won't do magic, but it can give you some respite.

Re: Tw Not Coping

They said not to go to ED, though, @tyme.

No, I don't @creative_writer.

I don't know what to do anymore. I'm over this; I ask for help and then get rejected.
