Something’s not right

taking a break

taking a break

Hi Everyone

Ive come to the decision that i may need to take a break from the forums or at least just stick to my safe threads such as this one and my garden thread.

ive read quite a few confronting things on here, it not the people, its the stories of what theyve been though, its set off quite a few things for me and just reminds me of what a tragic world we live in.

i know there is great support on here but i dont think i can handle it at the moment. im at the stage where i think a hospital might be better for me to go to. i know mant of you have been or go to the there still so no matter how embarrassed i am about being young and having to go to get thigns sorted out, i know ive got plenty of butterflies flying around me.

if only i had supports off this forum but i think i need a break. i dont think i can help many people as much as id love to and i feel extremely bad for not being able to help but i guess i just need to limit abit more of what im doing.

as most of you know uve been through a fair bit and still going through it all and alot of things im dealing with on my own.

i dont know what to do anymore, it feel likes i cant trust anyone anymore, ive lost hope for quite alot of things including my mental health gettitng better and even at this point questioning it so much that i dont even know if its real now. i think id rather just hide away.

i havent been able to leave the house today and even said no to a ride on my horse and to me thats alarms bells ringing. so i think i just need to take a break and although everyone on here id the best and the only support i have so, its a probaby a stupid mvoe to make but i thing i just need to refresh myself and force myself to get up and do something and start trying to get my life straightened out abit.

starting with either going to hospital or getting in to see a therapist abit more to help me out abit more.

this isnt goodbye, i may still see you on here on my safe threads but i wont be around as much, while im not here ill be focussing on getting abit more help, working on my garden and my studies.

i hope you all understand

Re: taking a break

I replied in another thread (so hard to keep up sometimes!) about this @Former-Member and mentioned how helpful I find the company of everyone here. Sending you big hugs.

Off to enjoy the sunshine for a little longer before my appointments. Have a good rest of you day (insert heart here if I wasn't using the mobile app)

Re: taking a break

In response to: Re: taking a break

Re: taking a break

dont be silly @Former-Member LOL

of course I want to be here for you. But right now I am struggling and i am about to get in the car and try to go for a walk. i am having this internal fight about whether i should go for a walk or not.

ok, i will be back later; i haven't forgotten you 🙂

can you do some study? i don't even know what you're studying?

back soon xxoo

In response to: Re: taking a break

Re: taking a break

a walk sounds good @BlueBay pity is pouring down here again

yes im going to continue studying and im studying medical terminology

In response to: Re: taking a break

Re: taking a break

Hi @BlueBay,

Can i suggest something that might help you overcome the internal fight about going for a walk or not?

Grab a coin...make 'heads' going for a walk; make 'tails' not going for walk.

Remember you dont have to do what the coin toss tells you...

...but I can nearly gaurantee that if you toss the coin and get the side of the coin you deep-down really dont want, it is likely to help you decide exactly what you really want 🙂

Re: taking a break

hi @NotLabelDefined

what should i do, i feel so pathetic i cant even make a decision?

In response to: Re: taking a break

Re: taking a break

Hi @Former-Member,

Being here on this forum, sharing your thoughts and feelings with others, and also helping out others is something I think is certainly not pathetic at all.

We all have troubles making decisions at times. Did you try the coin trick? If that didnt work maybe try to do something else to take your mind of the decision.

Often if we engage in a totally different activity, and stop trying to make a decision/stop focussing on a percieved need to make a decision/ stop pressuring ourselves to make a decision, then the decision often works itself out 🙂

its sort of like when we forget something, and then when we are in the middle of some other unrelated activity, the answer all of a sudden pops into our head... 🙂

Re: taking a break

alright i go back to studying for a while, something might pop up while im doing that @NotLabelDefined

i like being on here i really do and i dont want to make a decsion ill regret but i really just think im a pest to everyone and not really helping out much or at all.

In response to: Re: taking a break

Re: taking a break

Hi @Former-Member,

yeah...good call, nice one 🙂

but you know what? I think you've already made the decision (please excuse me if im wrong). i say that because you said "i dont want to make a decision ill regret"

your definitely not a pest, the forum is for everyone to share their stuff, by sharing our stuff we often help ourselves and also often help others 🙂
