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.

Yeah, I’m ready to discharge myself to be honest otherwise I’ll be here for hours @Former-Member @creative_writer - just trying to manage the way I’m feeling. There isn’t much they can do to help me either…

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@creative_writer - I totally understand, I’m a POTS person and it’s so hard to balance everything out, electrolytes, salts, sodium levels and all of that stuff.

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Fluttershy1, sorry to hear that there isn’t much else that can be done, physical health can be quite complex.

I have to take electrolytes and wear compression leggings. Those with POTS are prone to experiencing headaches. The heat makes it worse

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Sounds really hard right now @Fluttershy1 , knowing the best way to go regarding staying or leaving 💜🌺

From what I understand POTS is very difficult to manage 😔🫂

Getting serum electrolytes right to ensure the optimal environment for heart function is not easy, in addition to other effectors like kidney hormones that affect heart function and inflammatory chemistry and cells… ❤️‍🩹

I hope the high heart rate settles for you 💜🌺

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@creative_writer - I’ve been having fluids but it’s just not helping it. Chronic illness is something you never wish upon anyone….

i guess health sucks at times. If it’s not my physical health it’s my mental health. I feel like a broken record.

I’m still waiting to be seen @Former-Member - need bloods done, it’s not easy at all. It’s scary.

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Fluttershy1 It is tough when one has both physical and mental health concerns. You can’t really separate mind and body. I’m heading off now, might catch you later. Goodnight 💖🫂
