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

Nawwwwwww @Former-Member - that means a lot to me, I don’t know what to do with myself I’m feeling out of all sorts. Am safe though

Big hugs for you @Fluttershy1 🤗🌺

I was thinking that if you've not felt supported by MH team, then it would make you feel a bit lost and out of sorts, understandably dear 💜

Hey I wondered if you have a colouring book? I recently saw some adult-focussed colouring books, and I was going to take a look at them, for anxiety ..have you seen them? 🙂💜

Still sitting with you, and hoping having a little chat might be helpful 🙂

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Yeah, I usually colour in, debating if I take myself to emergency because of how I’m feeling mentally, like I’m safe but I don’t like the feeling of how distressed I am. They can give me prn if I need it. I’m safe though @Former-Member

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Hey there @Fluttershy1 🙂💜

Yes, that makes sense regarding feeling so much distress, and at the ED they can provide PRN medication 💜

is there anything I could help with, regarding settling, or making the decision to go to ED? Here to lend a hand if I can 🤗

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

I’m laying in bed debating, I struggle with emergency departments and the lightning etc it’s very overwhelming and triggers me off sometimes. Am safe @Former-Member

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

I understand @Fluttershy1 💜

It's not an easy decision at all 😔💜

Im still sitting with you here, gently holding space for the discomfort and distress youre feeling 🙂🌺

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

I’m so restless @Former-Member - i don’t know what to do. I live with grandma and she doesn’t understand my MH. I’m just stuck. Im safe though

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

I can understand why you feel restless, and at a loss to know what's best to do at the moment @Fluttershy1 💜

Its hard when family dont relate to MH concerns or exacerbations, I feel what youre saying there Fluttershy1 💜

Kinda makes it hard when there isn't a way to talk openly and feel supported at home. I wonder if you have any activities or grounding stuff you do when things feel like this? 💜 I hope you feel like you have some support here 🙂🌺

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

I’ve taken myself to emergency @Former-Member - things got a little to tough. I’m safe now, now I hope that I get the support I need

In response to: Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Yes @Fluttershy1 🙂🌺

100% with you, whatever you decide to do to help you when things get tough 🙂💜

I sincerely hope you get that help you need, and the gentleness you so rightly deserve dearest 💜🫂🌺

I’ll be around for another hour or so, and I’ll have my phone here if you’d like to stay in touch till then - how does that sound? 🙂🌺💜
