What do you do when you arent feeling safe but you dont want to go to the hospital and helplines arent working? Also what do you do when distractions and all of that stuff isnt working either?

Re: Safety
@Eden1919 Hi there it's nice to hear from you. If you need to cry Eden, just do it. It's a lesson I am learning after a really difficult week where everything seems wrong, and I am at a dangerous point is seriously jeopardising not only my current job but my entire care.
So it sounds like everything is getting on top of you again huh? You're feeling overwhelmed. Should you contact your psychologist? ABSOLUTELY RIGHT AWAY. Don't try to handle this all by yourself; you'll tie yourself in knots. Perhaps to make it easier before you see your psychologist, try to write a list of the things that are bothering you the most right now. And, if you can find some time alone, just go sit by yourself, close your eyes, focus on your breathing and let all the thoughts or things that are bothering you float away on white, fluffy clouds or on a leaf in a slow stream. Put on some soft, soothing music if it helps. If you do this for just 10mins, it will help to calm you down.
Let me know how you go.

Re: Safety
@Sans911 yeah i am trying all my mindfulness stuff and distress tolerance stuff. I guess it couldnt hurt to contact my psychologist. I just dont know what to do. part of me feels like maybe i am just imagening everything and that maybe there is nothing worng with me and then another part is saying that everyone is lying to me because they want to hurt me and that i am not unwell i am just psychic and then another part of me knows that a lot of the stuff i am dealing with right now is scary and dangerous and that part says it is safer to get some help with this incase i do something wrong but then i dont know i just everything feels so intense and it is so hard to explain. i dont know i am sorry i am so all over the place.

Re: Safety
@Sans911 I can try......
it is just really annoying me that i cant explain because then i feel like even i dont know what is going on only i do know but i dont have words for it which makes things difficult. and i am not sure what to do because everything feels wrong. inside and out and i feel very pressured and it is uncomfortable and anyway the point it i dont actually know how to say what is worng other than i have lost everything i ever wanted..... maybe that is it. i dont know.

Re: Safety
Hi @Eden1919 and @Sans911
Sans I was meant to reply to you ageeesss ago but got distracted and overwhelmed in the frame of my mind and overwhelming sadness of it all. I really sincerely apologise. Hope you are doing well after hospital (I am guessing you are out now? Correct me if I am wrong) and I hope you are feeling okay to say the least xxxxx
Eden, thank you for caring. Personally I am stuck in between a lot of drama righr now. I have been denied access to help after actively chasing it. Told that I need to want to talk with my selective mutism and that is why I am always pushed away or rejected.. then went through the frustration of having to read that as I obviously reached out in a cry for help and with mutism I obviously do WANT to talk but can't and there is a whole frustration with that.
Not to mention the constant fights and arguments I often find myself being stuck between in my family.. and a dear friend of mine's angelversary coming up which completely shatters me to a million pieces. My heart dropped a long time ago and I don't think it ever came back up.
Hope you are alright. I am so glad to hear you around on the forums... I haven't been so active lately.. so much going on 😞 cry cry. I really do hope you get help and what you want and deserve. None of us can do with alone. I am so angry and frustratrd how people like you and so many others are treated by the system. It is so frustrating, so wrong.

Re: Safety
@Former-Member no need to apologise hun. I actually have completely forgotten what it's all about. I often post a response to someone who is struggling just to let them they are heard and not alone. I think I've been in hospital twice since our last conversation. It's now becoming a major issue, as I also work in that same emergency department and questions are being raised about my fitness to practice.
I'm sorry to hear that life continues to be difficult for you; it does sound frustrating indeed. I hope in time, and soon, I will you find a solution. Take care

Re: Safety
Oh that sounds shitty @Sans911 .. excuse my language, I tend to swear a lil bit in times of intense dispair and stress. It must be difficult presenting to hospital, having workmates and people who may recognise you or know you as a professional in your work of practice.
You take care too.. also don't be afraid to take a break xx you deserve it. You deserve some time for yourself. In the ways you act towards others and in your job is so selfless.
