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.

I'm really struggling this evening. Everything feels overwhelming.
I feel like hurting myself. I feel really stressed out. It's hard pushing through these thoughts. I haven't harmed for nearly 2 weeks, doesn't feel like much of an achievement though. Why does everything have to be this hard.
I went out today, like I do most saturdays it's just hard being social when there's just so much going on there. It hurts my head. Then I feel like it was all a failure and everything I did was a mistake. I can't even go out and have fun without this shit in my head. I hate it.

Hi @The-red-centaur

I can hear the pain coming through your post. But not every thought is worthy of pushing back. Maybe its just ok to (sometimes) sit in the flow of the emotional tide rather than needing to have answers as to why. Its a very personal journey for you but you have support here. A virtual space is the second best thing! Let us know how safe you feel. Whenever that suits.

Regards

I didn't hurt myself and I got some sleep in the end @RiverSeal

Today is hard tho. My thoughts are worse than they were last night. Idk if I won't hurt myself tbh. But I've got lunch with a friend in an hour n half. Maybe that will lift my spirits.

Hey, @The-red-centaur I'm glad you got some sleep last night. Great to hear you are going out to lunch with a friend and why don't you check in with me or another moderator later today and let us know how it goes? We'd love to hear how you are doing later! Take care RiverSeal

I don't feel like I can do this. I'm over it. I'm tired.
