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.

@Former-Member @creative_writer - anxiety is getting to the best of me, I feel anxious and I can’t seem to soothe it, it’s making me feel sick and nervous. I’m in flashbacks and just trying to manage it. Don’t know what to do, I’m feeling really lost and sick from it. Am safe though

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Fluttershy1 it can be frustrating when nothing seems to be working! Could you take it all back to basics, like have you eaten, had water, gotten some exercise/rest? Change of environment can help (if you don't want to go to a different room, you could change the lighting or pop on some music) as can simple stuff like having a cuppa or a shower. All else fails, helplines are always an option to help you ground/self-soothe.

I probably should have asked first if you wanted suggestions - did you find any of the above helpful, or would a different kind of support be better for you right now?

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Oh no @Fluttershy1 I'm so sorry to hear it. Are you being well looked after? Is the not-so-nice nurse on tonight or have you got some lovely folks around you?

What about entertainment, you got something groovy to watch to help keep your mind busy?
