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.

You are right, it's just not in MH @Fluttershy1 it is the whole system that needs help.

Ambo's having to wait hours with patients outside hospitals.

Mental health patients just getting sent home.

Patients getting sent home early because there are no available hospital beds.

It's just crazy all around.

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

@Snowie - the police got to me before the ambos did, the afternoon staff wanted to admit me but they didn’t get to because by the time they were going to do my paperwork to admit me, but overnight staff came on and was like I’m sending her home with community team she doesn’t need a admission, it’s so wrong everything is so broken these days, I don’t trust anyone in the system these days because they want to just send us home or we are too hard or dependant on the service which I’m not.

im safe

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

It is so hard sometimes @Fluttershy1 The police have gotten to me before the ambos have too.

It is hard to have trust in the first place, and to know who to give that trust to can be so hard too.

Then my thoughts just turned to being a burden on the system. We shouldn't feel that way. We are not too hard at all. We deserve the help.

Re: Stuck and can’t escape it.

I'm glad they have been lovely @Fluttershy1 It does help when someone shows us some compassion.

I've had a mixture.
