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

Hi @Birdofparadise8, didn’t really do much, sorted out my study table, ruminated and watched sad videos. I hope you had a more productive day than me. How are you going?

Re: Tw Not Coping

I did go for a run today, went to the South Melbourne market and had brunch with my Aunt and Uncle. We were talking about my admission and what would happen.

Both of us are on the same thing today. I watched some sad videos and cried.

Today was alright till about five until I came home and started crying @creative_writer.

@Birdofparadise8, brunch sounds nice, what did you have?

I wish I could cry but if I let go, they’ll ask me questions, and most people don’t deal with heavy emotions well, so that’s that.

I hope you feel better soon 💖🫂

I had eggs benedict, it wasn't that good. I've been to other better places.

I didn't cry in front of them. I only do it in my room on my own.

Who will ask you questions, @creative_writer?

I'm a bit nervous about going inpatient on Tuesday. I hope it goes okay.

I hope you do, too 😀

@Birdofparadise8, it’s a shame it wasn’t good.

I know, it’s good you do have downtime to cry. The only downtime I really get is at night. I live with family.

I hope the inpatient goes okay too. Staying at the hospital can be a good circuit breaker, the longest I have ever been was in short stay, but it was enough to get me out of the cycle. They should be able to help you with meds

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah, oh well @creative_writer

I was the same when I lived with my parents. So it's good and bad.

It's funny you mention medication which is one key factor why I am going in.

My uncle and aunt both said today, but what if they don't change it or if they think it's right? So I said it's not right because I am so much worse on this current one, and I can't stay on it. So they repeated it, but what if it's OK? When it isn't. So I hope I will get it looked at and changed because I need it to.

@Birdofparadise8, when it comes to your health, you must learn to advocate for yourself. If you feel your meds aren’t right, let them know, give them as much information as required. I feel people are better able to help you if they know all the facts

Re: Tw Not Coping

Exactly I'll tell them how every time I go on a new medication or have a dosage increase, my SI and depression gets way worse and take a long time to get better. I've been on this one for like two months, and it's been so bad.

I understand they can take 4-6 weeks to show any effect, but literally, from week two, they made me get so much worse.

I SH the other day, which isn't good. I'm disappointed in myself. I thought I could hold off. It's been like two ish months since I did it.

Do you have much on tomorrow @creative_writer? I have work from 12-7:30 and then I'll come home have some food finish packing and go to bed. I have to be at the hospital by 10:00 am on Tuesday.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, not much planned. Will see how the day goes. I feel like I need to be more productive. I hope work goes well and that you’re feeling better tom 💝

In response to: Re: Tw Not Coping

Re: Tw Not Coping

Thank you @creative_writer

I'm sure you'll think of something.

I'm going to go to bed now my meds have kicked in, and I'm getting sleepy. I'll probably talk to you tomorrow.
