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.

Afternoon @Former-Member and @Fluttershy1, I hope today has been kind to you both 💖🫂

@Former-Member, nothing wrong with resting up, sometimes it is what our bodies need. It’s always important to take study breaks 💖

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Former-Member, it’s been a bit of a rough one to be honest. I did go to uni this morning and came back around lunch time since I was very exhausted and didn’t feel like sticking around to study. I do technically have an assignment due tomorrow, but got an extension, so have extra time, but want to get it done on the weekend at latest since it’s only 500 words and worth 10%

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

im sorry to hear that @creative_writer 💜

It's hard to get things done with study when not feeling so good and lacking energy. Resting and getting into it when you feel a bit better sounds like a good plan 🙂

And having an extension sounds good- takes a bit of the pressure off.

I hope it goes well when you get to it, otherwise I hope you can wind down a bit and rest this evening 🙂🌺

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Former-Member, trauma symptoms have been worse. Probably a combination of stress, illness and pdoc appointment. I was really struggling to concentrate this morning before class when I was working on the assignment.

I hope you are able to wind down after a busy day today 💖

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Im sorry to hear you have lots going on @creative_writer 💜

Its really hard to keep on track when symptoms are happening, and sometimes taking a break can help just take a bit of pressure off and help get things back to a bit of equilibrium enough to get a bit of focus for study 🙂 I hope that you can get a bit of equilibrium back 🤗🌺

Thank you so much - I am still face in books (multitasking hehe), however I will stop soon to eat get some rest 🙂🌺💜

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Former-Member, I hope I can achieve that equilibrium again too. CPTSD can have that paralysing feeling.

I’m not sure if I already asked. What are you studying? 🙂🩷

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Yes @creative_writer 🌺💜

hopefully this rest time will help 💜🙂

I do understand the functional impacts of cPTSD😔, although I hope that things do get better really soon for you 💜

It’s ok - I can’t remember if you’ve asked too 🤭🌺

I’m studying counselling 🙂🌺

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Former-Member, I guess it’s about learning how to manage symptoms. Can’t undo the damage.

Counselling is cool 🙂. I’m doing a Master’s in social work
