Stuck

Stuck

As a man I feel like I am not allowed to show pain or emotions. I constantly feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders but there's nothing I can do about it. I was raised with a emotion is weakness outlook on life so I really struggle when I do get low. Not suicidal or anything like that. I have too much to live for. Just feel like I have no 1 to talk to. If there is any1 able to relate I'd be glad to talk to someone. And if I make some friends that wouldn't be a bad thing either.

Hey @Former-Member @StuckInARut @Appleblossom @Dizzy4 ,

What's everyone up to?

I haven't done much at all today. I had a crappy few days but I'm confident things will resolves themselves.

I took the dog for a walk today and that's about it... oh, I also did 1 load of washing.... but I forgot to put some of my dirty washing in... don't you hate it when you find dirty washing as soon as you've finished a load???

@Appleblossom thankyou. I'm being completely ignored at the moment. Things are so much worse right now and noone cares.

Sorry to hear that

is this the first time you have been to emergency?

I have only been twice … and I was very patient… but…

The first time was in the 1970s and the 2nd time about 8 years ago…. When I first started on the forums… the forums helped more than the ED… for me… anyway

I hope it works out for you

Re: Stuck

@Appleblossom not my first time.

It's just been bad experiences the last few times and this time is just the worst.

I'm scared and I'm hurting. But when I tell them exactly how I'm feeling i just get shut down.

Guess you can tell by the time between my visits…. Have a long history…. But its not my preferred approach

I just don’t believe it is fit for the purpose for most mental health crises

I need to do a few things offline… I don’t get on the forums as often as I used to but…

I do believe peers… and sharing can help

talk to the guides on here, join in different conversations, and read some of the old threads

gradually you will meet enough people on here to feel more see and heard

not saying it’s a quick fix

gently bently
