Hey all,
I keep losing myself, I recently lost a family member to cancer and had the funeral and have been struggling for a few weeks while grieving and dealing with a few other things in my life,
I just don’t know how to help myself while im stuck in this loop. I have a lot of other stuff on my plate that I’m trying to manage and was just trying to find a space to where I can express it.
im safe

@Jynx - I saw my case manager today she made me feel really shit about myself, she was telling me I wasn’t making any progress, and she was just telling me that I’m just going back to bad behaviours when I’m trying to just get through this crisis period. She also turned around and told me that there won’t be any admissions as they are not helpful according to her. When I find them helpful. It just seems to never end with her. She always has something negative to say to me…..
My health has given me abit of a scare because I haven’t been well today and things just seem to be piling up on me and my anxiety is drowning me. I’ve just started eating again because of my blood sugar levels, things just seem to be going around in circles.
im more frustrated and switching a lot more than usual, depressed, anxious etc.
I just feel like I’m not good enough for anyone lately everyone seems to be attacking me in some way on my mental health or having something nasty to say.
im safe

@Fluttershy1 that really sucks about your CM. Sounds like you aren't finding her support very helpful - are you able to change to someone different? Coping is coping, and finding acceptance even when the stuff we do to cope isn't entirely helpful is always helpful to make it easier to find our way back to the healthy coping.
I'm sorry that eating is becoming a tricky thing to balance. Hope you got some lollies or something to help you keep your levels up.
And hey, the only person you need to be good enough for is yourself. And you are in survival mode so you're allowed to take the steps you need to take to keep yourself safe! No matter what, you're worthy and deserving of care and support because of the simple fact that you're a human being. Sending you some love and hope that tonight is chill for you!

@Jynx - I’ve asked for a change but they won’t allow it because it’s my fault I’m not caring for myself… it’s shitty.

I feel like I’m constantly running into a brick wall

Thanks @Jynx - just being honest but I have been shutting people out and feeling like everything is to hard.
I wish it was easy to get the right people for support.
I’ll get through it, I guess it’s just going to take time, I’m listening to music and playing Fortnite, attempting to make food so I can eat.
