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

I’m ok tonight @Birdofparadise8 its the weekend! Got a couple of days off ECT and Saturday and Sunday I get to go home for 6hrs in the afternoons.

hmmmm if you need a psych admission can you not just present to the ED and say that you are a risk to yourself?

Re: Tw Not Coping

If your desperate @Birdofparadise8 then yes, you may have to go public.
this is my first time in the private psych ward and it is very different.

Re: Tw Not Coping

There are no high risk patients here…. Everyone wants to be here mostly. The public system….. they just drug you. Feed you. Keep you safe. Here, there are groups every day, there’s art therapy, sensory group, yoga, a gym, pet therapy

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh really they just drug you @Bow?

That sounds scary.

Would public not be good if I am wanting to go for a reset and to stay safe?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Medicate you yes @Birdofparadise8 thats pretty much all they do there. From my experience anyways.

public has worked for me as a circuit breaker in the past.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hey @Kyle1

I hope you are feeling less anxious.

What are you up to?

I’m on my way home from work, but stoping for dessert on the way.
