Re: not coping

the counsellor online has me even more confused and distress then I was before I don't know what to do now. I reached out for help and it made it worse.

Re: not coping

Hey @outlander , Rainforest here. I just wanted to pop in and say that I'm sorry to see that you reached out for support and it wasn't what you were hoping for. I can only imagine how frustrating that would feel. I'm wondering if it might be useful to turn towards strategies that you know have worked in the past and focus on what you have control over. I hope you're able to find some relief tonight. Take care. Rainforest.

Re: not coping

if my strategies were working @Former-Member I wouldn't have had to reach out for offline support. 😞 they said the same thing- to use my coping strategies that would normally work.
they switched it around to make it my fault that bad thoughts are happening and aren't stopping.

Re: not coping

thank you @Eve7 @Snowie @Former-Member

this is why I struggle to contact helplines in the first place unless I need to. I really needed to and it made it worse. I don't know what to do now. normally this would be a time to log off and get offline help but.... I did that..
