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.

Hi @Fluttershy1 I haven’t felt much like chatting recently hence been keeping quiet, been reading your posts though

sorry to hear you feel you haven’t been heard

Similar to what @tyme @mentioned, have you found talking on phone to on call counselling service been helpful? Someone who can sit on other end of the phone to talk to. I know when my anxiety is bad I don’t want people around me. Finding chatting online or over the phone helps.

remember you saying you have a weighted teddy bear. Hope you don’t mind me asking, where did you get it from? Asking as thinking about getting myself one.
