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

@Birdofparadise8, I think my manic symptoms are getting worse again. They seem to get better after I take meds, but I haven’t had meds since morning so it’s gotten worse 😫.

It’s hard to work through certain things in therapy when things are rough, and that’s okay. You can focus on working through getting yourself through the day safely. Maybe try to clarify with your psych what she means

Re: Tw Not Coping

Ah, okay. When do you see your GP or pdoc?

Yes, I think I might need to ask her. I don't know if she was being insensitive or what @creative_writer.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I have a pdoc appointment a while away, I could get it moved sooner.

I think it’s best to clarify what she meant. Not saying this is the case for this situation, it may or may not be, sometimes words do get misinterpreted

Re: Tw Not Coping

Right, that's annoying @creative_writer I though you see them every month or did you just recently see them before things go worse?

Yeah, maybe it doesn't really matter anyway.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I saw the pdoc recently before it became worse.

It matters that you feel comfortable with your psych. SI isn’t your fault

Re: Tw Not Coping

Have you called to see if you can see them sooner @creative_writer

I guess I'll see what the vibe is like when I see her on the 11th. That feels like a lifetime away with how I'm feeling now.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, nobody picked up the phone, it is probably getting late too, might have to try tom.

I hope the psych appointment goes well. You can try going on the cancellation list to see if you can get in sooner, that’s what I did
