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

@Fluttershy1 I haven't heard of that movie, might look into it.

@Former-Member I feel like I'm beyond help. Do you think it's ever justifiable to use an unhealthy form of coping with emotions if it'll keep you alive?

Hi @Fluttershy1 its good to hear you are having enjoyable time with your support worker. Sounds like you and your support worker get along well which is great!

you mentioned feeding goats. Do they belong to your worker or someone else?

Are they still young or are they adults? I find it relaxing and feel safe around animals

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

I’m so sorry you feel beyond help @creative_writer 💜🌺

Please be assured you’re very much deserving of help and even if it feels a bit futile at the moment, I want to gently encourage you to seek help sweetness 💜🌺

In terms of unhealthy coping mechanisms, to be honest, I have used them in the past when I have not had access to supports - however it wouldn’t be my first choice, because of the risk of it potentially becoming a go-to solution…

Are you feeling unsafe at the moment Creative_Writer? 💜🌺
