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

@Birdofparadise8, I can see why you would feel abandoned, but they are not abandoning you, they are still there for you. I know it can seem scary to have supports diminishing, but remember you have access to KHL, psych, SANE drop in and forums and other helplines

Re: Tw Not Coping

I know it's just so much change in a short period. Going from weekly chats with my aunt to once every three weeks will be difficult.

I'm unsure how long I have been with my current psychologist because it was a six-month block, and I feel we may be close to that ending. Then I'll feel even more alone. Even with my counsellor at KHL, we are hitting a wall.

Together I have my GP. I can see them whenever. My psychiatrist seems to be every six weeks, if not longer, then KHL once, if not twice a week, when things are bad. I don't use the others like SCBS or Lifeline.

They also asked what I would do while they were away, and if things got worse, what I would do and who I would reach out to if I was in a crisis. So I think I will need to develop a new safety plan and a lot of reorganisation with how I can have contact with someone at least once a week.

When I was suicidal, it was every day. I'm all open to trying this out how they want to set things up all staged out once they come back from their holiday. I'm more worried, though. I have a gap of five days from the 13th after work till the 19 when I return. It's also the same dates as to when I had my full-blown plan, intent and all that around this exact time in May.

I've been starting to plan again, which isn't a good sign for SI, and it's right before they go away, which I didn't want to mention tonight. I don't know how I will be able to tell them, and then they go away, and they are worried about me the whole time because I've got a plan to end my life again.

Sorry that was a long one @creative_writer

@Birdofparadise8, maybe it’s more about seeing how things are when they go. You have done some prep, and have worked out what needs to be done if things get worse, and hopefully they won’t

I think I'll have to work that out more later this week or next. I'm working the afternoon shift for the next three days, and then Mum comes over. So I'll talk to my regular at KHL and then with my psychologist and see what they both say.

Anyway, I am so exhausted my meds have kicked in. I might call it a night.

I hope you're feeling better @creative_writer

@Birdofparadise8, I feel very exhausted, but I think I got enough sleep. How are you?

Oh, I hope you have an easy day today @creative_writer

I'm alright this morning. I slept alright. People around the dorms came in at 3 am and were very noisy. I also was thinking about what my uncle and aunt discussed with me. Luckily I have a session with my psychologist tomorrow. I haven't seen her for over a month, so there is a lot of catching up to do.

Hi @amber22

Sorry just had a session with my psychologist so didn’t get time to reply

So much has happened if you see about my aunt and uncle if you see my posts from Monday.
