Something’s not right

Stuck and can’t escape it.

Stuck and can’t escape it.

Hey,

things are hard and I just can’t seem to escape it, I went to the emergency room last night hoping to get the help I needed from mental health clinicians but they basically sent me on my way, I had SH which was why I went and they still discharged me, I ended up calling them crying for help and they told me to go home and try my coping skills, barely even made it home without having a massive crying episode and having to take myself back for them to just tell me I’m fine and discharge me again.

I feel like I’m just a burden and mistake, it feels all to overwhelming, they are supposed to be there to support you not just send you on your way when your basically in crisis.

the nurse I got when I came back was really rude to me she was a mental health person and basically told me to go home and try my coping skills.[edited by moderator] I was upset and really not feeling great mentally.

im just stuck on what to do, I feel like I just can’t escape it…..

am safe

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Thanks for sharing @Fluttershy1 . I hear how hard it has been for you. I wonder if they kept discharging you because they really weren't able to support you in hospital and instead, feel you need support in the community?

What support do you think they could have given you over the weekend? Were you able to tell them what you wanted?

I'm hearing how stressful things are for you at the moment. Yet good on you for reaching out and hopping on the Live Sunday Hangout. We will have it each Sunday for the time being. Hopefully you can connect with us again and just have a bit of time to let go of life's stressors?

You are doing your best and that's all anyone can ask of you.

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

I wonder if they felt you were strong enough to try and help yourself, and thus they sent you away @Fluttershy1 ?

Did you ask for a crisis admission?

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Yeah but they weren't listening which was also frustrating me because I was struggling. @tyme - I’m safe now

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Hey there @Fluttershy1 xx 🙂

Sounds just so disheartening to be turned away so much, when youre needing help. Im really sorry youre not able to find the help you need, and that its hard to talk to family and that there's also been a reduction in NDIS for you.

Please take good care of yourself, and remember to do the things that nurture and help you feel some comfort xx

Holding space for you, and acknowledging the difficult path youve been on sweetness xx
