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.

@Former-Member thanks 💖. Feeling pretty flat out and numb right now. I have uni to prepare for tomorrow and been doing some prayers too

Yes..that’s very understandable in terms of feeling flat out and numb after a challenging session 💜

Prayers sound like they help 🙂🫂💜

I hope uni prep goes ok..just wanting to kindly remind you to take regular breaks, so some regular deep breaths while you’re sitting still and focussing, and remember to be kind to yourself as you gently go through your learnings 🙂💜🌺

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Former-Member, the prep is picking clothes, packing bag kind of stuff. My brain is too fried to study. I’ve just been doing non uni stuff like practicing my ability to read Arabic. It requires a lot of attention since it does not come natural to me

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Sorry again @creative_writer 🌺

I seem to be not really on the ball tonight with understanding messages! Please forgive me.
I guess I’ve given my brain a workout today a little bit with face planting the books 🙂📚

getting all those logistical / practical things done sounds really good to make your day go smoother tomorrow 🌺💜

And practicing Arabic sounds like it would take a lot of attention, considering it’s a very different language 🙂🌺

I have learned a bit of Farsi in the past, to enable communication with some friends I had, however I’ve mostly forgotten now 🙂🌺

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Former-Member @creative_writer - today has been up and down, I had threapy which was alright but I’m feeling extremely sensitive, I feel like a burden opening up. I just wanna run and hide. I’m safe

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Hey there @Fluttershy1 💜🌺

that’s understandable regarding therapy today Fluttershy1 💜

And sensitivity is something I also feel after therapy 🌺💜 because it kind of exposes the things we don’t usually talk about, and the way I think of it is kind of like taking off a band aid and the sore underneath is a bit exposed 💜🌺

Please gently know you’re not a burden - on the contrary, therapists are there precisely to hear you and help you, as well as the fact that you have lots of value and worth! ☺️💜🌺🫂

Take care and go gently 🙂🌺

I hope you can get some rest tonight 🙂🌺

I’ll be popping off the forum for now, and I’ll be back tomorrow sometime dearest - catch you then, and you take care 🙂🌺🫂💜

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Former-Member, no need to apologise 💖, I took no offence. I hope face planting went well for you today. I got through a bit, but then my neck started hurting due to the infection. It’s still a bit swollen. Arabic isn’t easy, Farsi wouldn’t be either.

@Fluttershy1, therapy can be hard. I hope you are able to do something gentle and kind towards yourself tonight 💖🫂

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

hey there @creative_writer 🙂🌺

Thanks 🙂💜

I did stay face in books till the wee hours, then up 4am for a medical appointment 2 hours drive away (each way).
back home and now lunch is done, I’ll head back to study 📚

I’m really sorry to hear the swelling and infection are causing pain and getting in the way of your study 😔🌺

I was wondering how long you’ve been learning Arabic, if you don’t mind i ask? 🙂🌺

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

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Former-Member, I can’t speak Arabic, apart from a few words here and there, maybe one day I’ll try to improve my vocab too. I’ve been trying to read the Quran, I wouldn’t say I’m super fluent, but better than I used to be. I’ve been trying to Master it for years now, I can’t even remember how long, I believe I started during COVID.

I hope the appointment went okay and you were able to do some face planting 💖😂

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Good morning @creative_writer 🌺🙂

That sounds like a really interesting thing to do, and I can completely see how it’s a years-long project 🌺☺️

The appointment went well thanks - it was more of the specialised tests - so it wasn’t something where I’m needing to talk and explain things which are really complicated 🙂🌺

Not a lot of face planting in books done😉, I felt a bit tired, so I rested instead 🌺🥱
