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

Hi @Fluttershy1

Am glad to know you are safe, firstly.
Did you feel the support they provided was not what you were seeking?

@PizzaMondo - I felt like I wasn’t heard, they seemed to dismiss the issues and told me it was all in my head, got sent home at like 7:30am and I could barely function. It’s just so frustrating. You go to get help and then they just turn you away.

am safe

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Fluttershy1, sorry to hear you get turned away. I feel that often we try so hard to advocate for ourselves, only to be told it’s in our minds. I don’t know if it’s because many of us have a history of MI. It sucks and it’s not fair. Sitting with you 💖🫂

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

I'm sorry you didn't feel heard by the professionals there @Fluttershy1 - I can imagine it may have felt invalidating for you to go in and be told that it's all in your head.

I'm wondering how you're doing now and what other supports you have around you currently? Who does make you feel heard?

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Fluttershy1 So sorry to hear you had such a bad experience in emergency.

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Hey @Former-Member @Former-Member @PizzaMondo @creative_writer - sorry I’ve been absent, trying to sort my life out, I’m in a bad space at the moment, I feel like it’s never going to end, it’s extremely overwhelming.

I went food shopping at 9pm and only just got home as I didn’t want to go when it was extremely busy.

am very overwhelmed but safe
