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.

Fearful is a strong feeling @Fluttershy1 !
How is your OK face going?
Are there any ways that allow you to feel less fearful and more balanced that you could practice right now for yourself?

I find when I am feeling fearful, I like to name what it is that I am fearful of (if I can pinpoint it) and kind of.. pretend pop it away, like it's inside a bubble and then it just becomes out of sight out of mind.. in some ways. Allows me to have control over the feeling, rather than it control me!

I read your posts sweetness, and see youre feeling fear, and wanting to hide away... Im really sorry today feels like that xx

Just want to gently remind you that things can ebb and flow, back and forth, while we walk along a path of recovery, and that as you have recently experienced, things can also get better 🙂

Holding space for you, and I hope your afternoon with your support worker was helpful.

Sitting here, with you xx
