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.

@Fluttershy1 I’m sorry they turned you away. Does reaching out to helplines help?

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Fluttershy1 I find the same. I find most helplines a bit or miss. Though I’ve had more luck with SANE, maybe because they have more of a counselling focus on complex mental health. We are always here for you on the forums 💖

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

hey there @creative_writer 🙂🌺

Im really sorry I was absent for a bit - the week was a little challenging.

I tend to agree, as I have had a similar experience with crisis services, and here on the forum has been a very supportive and stable place to read about experiences, find support, and give support 🙂

How are you going?

I hope youve been ok 🌺

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Hi @Former-Member I’ve been unwell, I keep getting sick 😔. I think I got another infection. How are you?

Hi @Fluttershy1, sometimes the body needs rest, it’s okay to take it easy and rest up. Sending you lots of hugs, hon 🫂💖

Hey there @Fluttershy1 🌺💜

It’s ok - hiding away and sleeping most of the day sounds like what was needed, while having these overwhelming feelings 💜🌺

gently does it, ok? 🙂

sending you a big hug 🫂

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Hey there @creative_writer 🙂🌺

I’m really sorry to hear you’re not feeling well, and it might be another infection 💜

It’s a concern that you’re getting sick - I wondered if your Gp might be able to help with some support? 🙂


I’m ok thanks - had an unexpectedly busy week and needed to make some quick adjustments, and my ventilator decided to not work particularly well, which then I ran out of energy and capacity 🌺

All is well, and I’ll pick up as the days move by 🙂🫂🌺

thank you for asking 💜🌺
