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.

That makes sense @Fluttershy1 ❤️‍🩹🌺

SANE forums are very safe in that regard 🙂💜

kind of like a type of freedom to express what is otherwise so difficult in other spaces 💜

I’m sorry other places or spaces you’re not feeling understood 😔

Keep hold of that kindness and space you have here, and know there is care for you here 🌺🙂💜

Goodnight dearest, catch you next time 🙂🌺

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Sorry to hear you can’t sleep @Fluttershy1 🌺💜

sounds a bit hard knowing grandma wants you to sleep but you can’t 😔🫂

I think I do understand regarding daytime sleeping… there was a time when I felt safer to sleep during the day, so I used to sleep then, instead of at night 🌺💜🙂

After a while my body got used to it, and I was more awake during nights than days (and later on when I worked permanent night shifts, I found it came back very quickly and relatively easily to sleep during days and work my overnight shifts as a sleep technician).
I hope you can get some rest, and take it easy, even if you don’t sleep so much overnight 🙂🌺

I have a bit of an early start tomorrow, so I’ll say goodnight dear Fluttershy1 🫂🌺

go gently, and catch you next time 💜🌺🫂🙂

Hi @Fluttershy1

I don't think anyone can 'force' you to sleep. It needs to be on your terms.

Can you sit down with your grandma and talk to her about your sleep? Perhaps come up with some sort of routine that you will try to follow.

It's hard when other force their ideas onto us without knowing fully how it affects us.

Take care hon 💜

Hi @Flutershy1 - saw you posted 10 hours ago you weren't able to get to sleep.. did the shut-eye fairy come to say hi at any point?

Warmest,
PizzaMondo 🙂
