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.

Hey there @creative_writer 🙂🌺

I was wrapped around an extra large size skeleton when they were making me at the factory, I think hehe 😉 🙌🏻🌺

It’s helpful when needing to see where you’re going, but not so helpful when trying to get into compact cars! Arm span I’m 190cm (tips to tips of fingers with arms held out at side), which made it relatively easy to play sports like netball 🙂

like a giant, is what my little bro use to call me 😉🌺

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Former-Member, I think you would blend in a crowd of netball players. Being tall does have its pros and cons. Being tall doesn't stop me from wearing heels even though I know I'll tower over some of the guys

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Fluttershy1 feelings are not always accurate. It is very natural to feel like a burden with MH, but it doesn't mean you are a burden. I hope one day you are able to see that ❤️

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Former-Member, I used to be so insecure about my height, I’m not anymore. I’m insecure about a lot of other stuff though

@creative_writer 🙂🌺

that’s awesome you don’t feel insecure about being a tall person anymore 💜🫂☺️

I understand regarding being insecure about other things

- it’s not easy to be comfortable and confident about everything, is it 💜🌺🙂

hopefully it’s nice to know that there’s no judgement here, and you can be who you naturally want to be amongst friends🫂🙂🌺

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Former-Member, clothing wise it can be a bit of a pain, being 5 8 may mean regular pants are a bit shorter. Then if I get clothing from the tall section, it might end up too long.

I do feel like the anonymity on the forums can facilitate more openness 💖
