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.

Re: (not actually) Coping with things.

It's been an interesting few days. I had some tests done which were scary and I slept a lot. It's weird to think today is friday. I have lost time. I think my DID is playing with me rn.

On a good not I did something.

 the quote I did on the painting is: they cried, not because they were weak, but because they were strong.

There are things I want to say but don't know how. My head feels messed up. Trauma is biting me and it hurts.

Hi @The-red-centaur,

I'm sorry you are hurting from trauma.

It's understandable you don't know how to say the things you want to, that you feel like your head is messed up and that you are hurting.

What support do you have or have you had in processing or coping with the impact of trauma?

Perhaps others on the forum have examples of support to share too.

@simplesymbol I just started seeing a new psychologist. She's is great.

Edit: I also have the support of the hospital inpatient team at the moment

That's so great @The-red-centaur. It takes courage to show up and be vulnerable and I'm inspired by yours.

Today was a weird day. I haven't slept for 3 nights and was hypomanic all day. I'm not hopeful I'll sleep tonight either.
