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

I’m not sure I can say much more @Birdofparadise8 without using words that I shouldn’t and getting myself into trouble.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Ah okay all good @Bow

I hope it doesn't happen again.

Did you have ECT today?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Thanks. I’m going to have a chat with one of the psychologist tomorrow about it, cause it’s not the first time it’s happened. See what she suggested I do.

yes, I had ECT this morning. I’ve got about 4 more to go.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah sounds like a good idea @Bow.

Is your ECT helping you?

I was wondering if you've had TMS before and isn't that a little less invasive.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I’m not too bad thanks @Birdofparadise8 I recently spent 10 days in a private clinic after my pdoc referred me. I saw a lovely pdoc while I was in there and now I’m back with my pdoc.

I was in public for 3 nights last year after the police were called. In the mh triage section people were really unwell and I was quite scared. It was better when I was admitted to the mh ward but I had a pdoc who was an arrogant #*#* and so I told him what he wanted to hear and I was discharged. It was really traumatising.

Try and hold out if you can ❤️

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah I think ECT is helping @Birdofparadise8 and no I didn’t have TMS. Not sure it’s available at my local

Re: Tw Not Coping

That's good to hear @Bow.

How much longer are you in-patient?
