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

Aw, sorry to hear that @Fluttershy1 💜

Things have been so incredibly hard lately, so I can really understand why you'd be feeling that way sweetness xx

Do you have any plans this evening to do anything comforting?

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Hey @tyme @Former-Member @creative_writer - I got myself admitted to a psych unit for 2 days as things have been extremely hard. It’s like my whole world has been falling apart. I just want to run and hide, I hate feeling this was I was really SI and not coping with the thoughts so I took myself to the hospital and advocated for an admission because I don’t think it was going to be safe for me to be at home with the state I’m currently in. I’m safe

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Well done for advocating for yourself @Fluttershy1 . That little break can really go a long way. It gives respite to yourself, to your family, to you!

Good to see you on the Live Sunday Hangout tonight 🙂 Didn't have time for jokes, but at least you were there.

I have no energy for jokes @tyme - not feeling the best mentally…
