What am I supposed to do

What am I supposed to do

I don't know what to do anymore. I'm sick of going through this, of hurting, of the constant thoughts and urges, being such a let down and a burden on everyone, of these panic attacks.

I'm sorry to everyone I've bothered and let down. I'm sorry that I'm always so negative and depressed. I'm sorry that no matter how hard i try to be positive, the negative just always creeps in. But most of all I'm just sorry that I'm me and I'm sorry that I'm here.

I'm sorry 😞

Re: What am I supposed to do

@Former-Member I'm worn out. I go out most of Saturdays i just got home when I saw the other thread.

More importantly I hope YOU are ok.

Re: What am I supposed to do

@The-red-centaur hope you at least had a good day. Try to get some rest. Sorry, I won't bother you.

I'm not really ok but I'm trying to stick around for as long as I can.

Re: What am I supposed to do

@Former-Member I'll be up for a little while longer, until my meds kick in.

What's up my friend.

Re: What am I supposed to do

@The-red-centaur everything has just hit hard and I'm not able to calm down. Imagine being on a crisis line telling them how you feel and the thoughts you are having only to be told 'oh I have to wrap the chat up here, take care' and they just leave.

Re: What am I supposed to do

@Former-Member that sounds really difficult. Beyond difficult.

Some help lines have time limits on calls. I.e. suicide call back is only 20min. I'm not justifying what they did, but they have striking boundaries with their clients.

I too have been caught by that and was like, wtf, I need help, and they were like oh well, I have to go. Then they leave you alone with the thoughts and feelings so you are worse off than before.

I don't have much advice on how to calm down and regulate.

Do you ever do any swimming, or have any swimming toys. They help me when my nervous system is on fire.

Re: What am I supposed to do

@The-red-centaur this crisis line isn't time limited like that. It's just like as soon as they get to talking about the thoughts they just end the chat. Which makes it even worse cos then it's all just playing on my mind even more.

I don't do swimming or have anything like that. I'm just sick of trying everything possible when nothing is working.

Re: What am I supposed to do

@The-red-centaur got to love auto correct 🤣. The fact that I didn't see this before replying. Well either way I don't have anything like that.
