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.

Well a positive is that you showed up for the appointment @Fluttershy1 Thats a win within itself.

Sometimes I dread appointments but they turn out better then expected.

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Fluttershy1 I relate to the feeling of wanting to not reach out to supports, it can be hard to reach out to them and let them know how bad things feels. I do hope the appointment does help and it feels worthwhile. You’ve shown great strength in getting out of bed. Sitting with you 💖🫂

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Shaz51 @creative_writer @Jynx @lavenderhaze @Snowie @Former-Member - I’m in emergency because I’m struggling so much, nobody has bothered to come see me, they have left me in the waiting room and I suffer from sensory processing disorder. So I’m extremely overstimulated which is making me want to leave, babies are screaming it’s triggering me. I wish I never miscarried my baby 😭😭. It’s bringing up so much, I’m so triggered, nothing is calming me. I just wanna run. It’s for my MH they don’t even care. I’m safe but broken on the inside.

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

Ach that is so rough @Fluttershy1 - it sucks that you're stuck in there with sensory overwhelm, and no one has come to talk to you yet. Could you take a few min outside, just get a bit of reprieve?
