Something’s not right

(not actually) Coping with things.

(not actually) Coping with things.

Urghhh. Things feel really hard at the moment.

I spent the weekend in the emergency department on forms. I was sent home when the consultant came and saw me today because there were no beds and as I hurt myself in the ED the day before couldn't guarantee my safety so there

was no point in me being there.

I cried to my psychologist when I go home as I couldn't get into the house and broke down about how I planned to end my life. I then was talked down until I saw my psychiatrist this afternoon. The plan was to get admitted but there's no beds anywhere across the city. So yet again I was sent home.

Now I'm home. I don't know what to do. There were supposed to have another carer on for me this evening but they've just been in the office all shift. I feel hopeless and overwhelmed.

My psych team told me not to go back to ed because of the strain on the ed system at the moment.

So where does that leave me. Idk. I'm safe enough for now.i think. But idk. My psychiatrist gave me some extra meds. The plan is to wait until a bed becomes available. I feel in limbo..

Maybe the chat here will help. I just want a space where I can be heard and not judged. A place to feel safety and warmth. A space where people get it.

Thanks for listening to my rant about my day. I'm exhausted.

Hi @The-red-centaur sounds like today is not going so well for you. Do you want to talk about it here on the Forums? It's great to have you here and be part of the community and we would love to sit with you in your thoughts. RiverSeal

Re: (not actually) Coping with things.

@RiverSeal I'm tired of dealing with everything. I just want to give in because it would be easier than this.

Losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Nothing's alright, nothing is fine
I'm running and I'm crying
I can't go on living this way
Can't go on
Living this way
Nothing's alright
-last resort.
This song hits.

Re: (not actually) Coping with things.

@The-red-centaur yeah I get it that things can get pretty tough. I've had my share of feeling like that too. What have you done in the past when you get into a spot like this? I know I like to keep busy and I volunteer and work a lot to keep myself occupied. Doing my housework comes in handy when I am home. I have recently learned to watch TV series and I'm enjoying that too. I like to cook and plan meals so I have something to look forward to later in the week.

Re: (not actually) Coping with things.

Yeh. @hanami I have. It didn't help much but we might be going for a drive this morning as a distraction.
