I feel...

I feel...

I feel desperately lonely yet, I feel like I don't belong anywhere. I don't belong in the 'Normal' world because I am tarred with the brush of mental ill health, yet because I've sort of stabilised now, I don't belong with my former peers either. I feel beige, uncoloured and boring with no emotion really even though if I had to say anything it is gutted. I feel trapped in a world I don't want and didn't ask for, yet whenever I try and break the shackles of failure, I am thrust back into the dark and reminded yet again of my failures (my Father is a constant person to remind me). I feel alone, even in a crowded room. I feel unheard, even if I am screaming loudly.

I guess I am just searching for something and not sure what.

Does anyone else feel beige?

Re: I feel...

Sigh......

My Father just called me and asked if he could meet with me just to say hello. I'm worried about this, what is his motives this time? He said he was my Father and I am his daughter and he wanted to see me. Should I trust him? I'm kind of scared, to be honest. I agreed to meet him as I rarely see him, but every time I do, I feel really sh*tty afterwards.

hmm thats a tricky one Q, im not too sure what i would do tbh....

i have witnessed each time youve had to see him or do something associated with him. it jsut seemed like you were starting to accept the last outcome too.

you could see about going, but be weary about what you say... maybe he has had a thought about things and would like a relationship with you?

I asked him if he had more stuff for me but he said he didn't. He said he just wanted to see me. I don't understand the pushmepullyou behaviour he has towards me. I think I will really watch what I say and do @outlander. I am meeting with my support worker immediately beforehand, as he is meeting up with me straight after therapy (which is a bit of a bummer) on Thursday.

I don't want to spiral downwards this time, I really really don't.

Re: I feel...

see what your support worker says @Queenie they might arrange a call for after youve seen your father so youll ahve support straight after as well and you have us here as well

Re: I feel...

That's not a bad idea actually @outlander. I'll ask my support worker if I can text her afterwards, plus I do have everyone here too.

Thanks for the tip! 🙂

Re: I feel...

not a problem @Queenie i hope she does let you do that, i think it would help you heaps

In response to: Re: I feel...

Re: I feel...

I think she would let me, as we aren't having proper appointments at the moment anyway. She did want me to text her to the results of my license test. Btw, I got my learner license again and our car comes back to us on Friday, so I'll be able to drive again soon @outlander.

Re: I feel...

In response to: Re: I feel...

Re: I feel...

I've always been nervous about driving, but it is something that will come with experience I guess. Time to get back on the horse so to speak!
