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

@Kyle1, I hope you are okay. Getting a police check can be scary. Once I got an ambulance and police check sent from KHL. I almost got one last year too from my psych.

@tyme

Vermouth is a sweet wine. Really nice with ice cubes and a squeeze of lime. A little tipple is just perfect (especially since I've held off for months)

Did you ever see Groundhog Day?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@creative_writer thank you. I wasn't scared, though. Just annoyed; I was trying to catch up on sleep. And when I need help, no one ever comes anyway!!

Re: Tw Not Coping

I’m sorry, @Kyle1 🫂. I also find one has to be really explicit when seeking help for SI to even get a referral to community mental health. The system has it cracks for sure.

Re: Tw Not Coping

What’s this about a police check?

Did KHL send someone to your house @creative_writer?

Did you have one today @Kyle1?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, still heavy, but that’s just life. I think I need one good cry to let off the steam but never find the time. I once had the police sent to my house when I was with KHL, it was years ago, when I was like 22. Wasn’t the most fun experience. The ambulance came first though. The police came after I had left for the hospital.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 Yeah, I had a visit from police today after emails from Sane.

I did ask what value there was in trying to send police because, well... they don't help. Yet services or people who might can never turn up!!
