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

Hey @Fluttershy1 ,

I hear how disappointing that would be to hear.

What would you ideally have wanted them to say? (Only if you feel like sharing)

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

I wanted support with my emotions and dark thoughts @tyme - but I gotta manage on my own, things are rough, I feel like a lost cause and a mistake you know. I’ve had nothing but issues my MH team over the weekends I’ve been in. They just seem to not understand my MH lately. I just feel like a burden and mistake.

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Who did you end up calling for support @Fluttershy1 . I remember reading that you were on hold, but I don't remember who you called.

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Mental health triage @tyme - they were useless. I’m just not talking atm. Am safe

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

That makes sense @Fluttershy1 .

It's not really MH triage's job to counsel and support people in probably the same way as you were wanting.

MH Triage is to assess risk and to take action for those that need urgent support. It's not a counselling service.

Do you have someone else you can call who IS a counselling service?

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

I was having intrusive thoughts and they knew this @tyme - I’m safe though

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Fair enough. But you mentioned you were wanting support to talk about your thoughts? Is that right? If so, perhaps a chat helpline may have been more helpful? @Fluttershy1

Do you know of any helplines you can call like Suicide call back or Lifeline? You probably know more than I do.

What about giving your bunnies a hug?

I’m safe, I’m at mums, just tired, going to head home soon and head to bed. @tyme - things just aren’t easy. I’m safe

Please take care. @Fluttershy1

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

I will @tyme - I’m drained. I hate feeling like this. I’m safe
