Something’s not right

NUMB

NUMB

One word, that sums it up.

This morning I have nothing left to say.

I keep up a positive facade, smile at my husband, made plans to see a friend, who's sick, have to see my GP and know who to call for admission if I need to.

I'm sorry I can't be optimistic, I think I'm realistic and the waiting game is destroying me inside.

Thinking of you @Former-Member. For me that sense of numbness is always a clear sign that my level of depression is becoming profound. I'm pleased you're in hospital at the moment because you will get the care you need at this time.
Luv n Hugzzz 💕 💜 💕

Re: NUMB

Hi All,

I chat to the nurses and try to interact with patients. I try to dig deep for distraction techniques...

But I feel empty. Every time I stop and think, I'm empty. Like all the passion is gone, like a helium balloon that is slowly losing the rest of the helium, sinking down and down. I know I came here to stay safe. I don't know what else.

Hello my friends,

I wish I could share good news but it's been a difficult week.

How are you all?

Re: NUMB

I'm sorry it's been such a tough week @Former-Member. Are they treating you well in hospital? Good staff you can talk with?
I'm feeling flat today, so am spending the day in bed.

Hi @utopia

Hope you managed to get a bit more energy and get out of bed. The staff here are great. I've been very lucky. I'm overwhelmed a lot. That doesn't help.

Re: NUMB

Keep doing what you can manage to do @Former-Member. Take any help offered by the staff. And try to be gentle with yourself today.
I hope today is a better day for you. ♥♥

Re: NUMB

Week 3 in hospital has started...

I feel even more like a failure that I cannot sort my problems out myself and have to rely on other people telling me to get up and have a shower... how am I supposed to get better if I want to go to lala land?

Nothing will be different when I'm out. I've stopped friends and family from visiting, I just want to be alone with all the other people that don't know what has hit them.

Happy Easter, woohoo!
