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 GP appointments are hard to come by, they get booked out so you end up getting non preferred GPs. I have made an appointment but got it in 9 days. Physical health can affect MH, so it’s been rough on my MH.

Sorry to hear about ventilator not working. I hope things pick up for you 💖🫂

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Yes, I hear you @creative_writer 💜🫂

very hard to keep explaining situations to different gps and await the variable responses.. I’m sorry to hear not feeling well physically is affecting MH ❤️‍🩹 you’re very right in how they’re related 🌺

thank you so much re the ventilator - I’m hopeful it’ll be replaced soon, and in the mean time, I have an old one to cover the job 🙂🌺 starting to feel better as the days go by… definitely relating to your wise words regarding physical health affecting MH ❤️‍🩹🌺🙂

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Former-Member I’m trying to get through it. It’s hard with body flashbacks too.

I hope you get the new ventilator soon. Do take care of yourself and be gentle 💖

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Standing beside you @creative_writer as you move through this 💜🫂🌺

Body flashbacks are visceral experiences, and keeping resilient is challenging… just wanted to acknowledge that for you, and kindly let you know the difficulty is seen and you’re not alone 🌺💜

Thank you so much 🙂🌺 I really appreciate that.
I’m learning as time passes to remember to do a little bit of self TLC - thank you kindly for that gentle reminder 🙂🌺💜

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

I wonder if they are out of their depth and don't know what to say @Fluttershy1 ?

What are you looking for them to say/do?

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

I’m really sorry to hear that @Fluttershy1 💜🌺

I’m thinking they likely could be focussed on helping risk in the moment, and not so much on the cause that is underlying what is making you feel this way… I was wondering if you have a psychological support person, to give you that place to unpack what has happened, and support with some techniques to help you?
I’m sorry if you have mentioned it before, I have memory damage and sometimes I lose a few details here and there..if it’s ok with you, please do feel free to tell me again if you feel comfortable; I’m here with you and hopefully you feel supported from having someone sit in the uncomfortable moments with you 🙂❤️‍🩹🌺

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Former-Member - I feel safe on the forum community as it’s non judgemental and it’s anonymous, it’s hard speaking to helplines that don’t understand you

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Former-Member we can only do what we can, my body still feels uncomfortable. Maybe I should just go to bed and hope things feel normal by tomorrow.

Sorry to hear that @Fluttershy1, crisis lines can be tough, particularly when you don’t get someone you can connect with. I say this as someone who has volunteered with Lifeline in the past.

@Fluttershy1 and @Former-Member, I wish you both a good night and hope you both feel better tomorrow 💖🫂
