sad&stuck

Major depression & social anxiety have been ruling my life and I feel so stuck. Lack of motivation, emotional overeating, loneliness..(my partner works nights and sleeps during the day, i have no friends & my family are either away or busy and I feel like I don't want to bother them) feelings of being worthless and hopeless, racing thoughts... I'm tired. And sad. No medication is helping and I have a support team around me (psychologist, psychiatrist, gp, mental health support worker) but I can't help but think why bother. Ive been holding on for so long and it doesn't seem to be getting better. I feel like there's only so much distracting I can do. Sorry, you probably don't want to read my depressing s*&t but thanks if you do.

Re: sad&stuck

Tonight I am feeling super worried and stressed because tomorrow I have my 2nd electrical stimulation therapy with the girl who does the therapy and seeing the new psychologist straight after. I've only had one session with him and I don't know if he has been informed about the hospital visit and my suicidal/SH thoughts. If he doesn't know I'll need to let him know and the thought of talking about it is making me really stressed especially since I have a parent taking me and my family don't know either what's been going on in the last few weeks because I put up a wall.

Why does it have to be so hard 😢

Re: sad&stuck

Can you write it down for the psych ? Even on your phone on the moment, show him, then delete it ?

Might take some of the pressure off @STORMGEL101

Re: sad&stuck

Even writing it is stressing me out ATM. I'd like it if he was Informed like my GP was when I saw him last week. I need to be able to communicate with him if I am to make any progress. I don't know what to do 😢

Re: sad&stuck

It sounds like you are going to have to psych yourself up to tackling it one way or another @STORMGRL101 ... so maybe choose which way is going to be the "easiest", then spend some time in self-nurturing activities to help you step up to it. I hope that works for you ...,,

Re: sad&stuck

Yes.. I might write a few words or dot points down and keep in my pocket so if I feel like it's the right time I will bring it out. Now to try and calm my mind. Thanks @Faith-and-Hope 🌷

Re: sad&stuck

Worried. I have to go alone to my appointment and feeling much more anxious. One hour until I leave.

Re: sad&stuck

We are here with you @STORMGRL101 if that helps .....

Try to keep yourself distracted with something calming in the meantime if you can .... music, colouring in something, watching something gentle .... a walk maybe ?
