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, could you stay the night with a friend of something @Captain24?

Your appointment must be late then if you will drive home in the dark, though.

Can you have any of your appointment over zoom so you don't have to drive?

Yep I cooked Italian, too. Bolognaise. The children's favourite.

Yes and evenings are beoming increasingly hard for me too. I don't know what I'd do without sleep meds... it would be hell!

Re: Tw Not Coping

I know same @Kyle1.

I'm on a low-dose antipsychotic not normally for sleep as my pdoc I saw through the RHH didn't want to to become dependent on it, but I think I am with this as I was only supposed to take it as needed like PRN. She said it was fine for now, though.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I don’t know anyone over there @Birdofparadise8. It’s ok though, it’s just country life. I can’t do zoom as they have to physically check my skin changes. If they are unsure they will cut some out.

Mum has an appointment the next day in the same town. So I’ll be going over twice in 2 days.

Re: Tw Not Coping

That sucks @Captain24

Yeah, I get that for the dermatologist but for other appointments like your pdoc or CM.

Re: Tw Not Coping

My GP prescribed one of those for me, too. Off label. It didn't really work for me though. Not after the first week anyhow...

I hope you have better results. Sleep is so pivotal when it comes to MH... @Birdofparadise8

Re: Tw Not Coping

How was uni today @creative_writer. Also, when do you find out about placement I can't remember if you said a date.
