My special place

My special place

Well yesterday certainly threw everything off track. But thanks to some very thoughtful and kind people I was able to get threw it and continue.

I cannot say a lot about what happened as I am sure you all understand but need this support in place.

Things WILL be ok, just a lot to work out.

Psych visit yesterday sorted out some of the things and more things will be happening early next week.

I am sorry if I put anyone through any despair, but unfortunately what happened yesterday morning had to be done.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Re: My special place

@Snowie sometimes having something playing in the background helps. I think sometimes people do not understand how difficult it is to live with complex mental health issues. It is often difficult to understand, unless someone has lived experience. I have days where I know getting out would help, but the idea of even changing my clothes feels exhausting

Re: My special place

I do think they struggle to understand at times @creative_writer Even though my psych is good, there are just some things she doesn't understand. It is exhausting sometimes just trying to get that one small thing done.

Trying to get out of the house - my brain fights against me so much. That part that just wants me to hide is so strong at times.

I don't like silence so normally have the tv on in the background. Even when I'm in bed I'll have the tv on.

Have you got any plans for tomorrow?

Re: My special place

@Snowie I relate to you on psych not understanding certain things. I have felt that way multiple times. I don’t think anyone can really understand everything, though I wish someone could just feel what I feel, even if they didn’t understand everything. Finding those kind of people is very hard.

I don’t watch as much TV anymore, mostly just in my laptop or phone. I do watch YouTube videos or videos of Facebook. My attention span is pretty bad.

Probably try to get some uni stuff done. Do you have plans for tomorrow?

Re: My special place

It's hard to find people that we can relate too @creative_writer I guess this is where these forums come in handy. People can relate to what you are saying. Even though we are limited to what we can say, sometimes it just makes things a bit easier.

I try and watch easy tv. Something I don't have to follow closely as my attention span is limited too. I stay away from any news/current affair shows too. Find them triggering.

No real plans for tomorrow. Everyone home because it's Anzac Day. Good because I'll have company, bad because I'll have to pretend like everything is ok. Probably just watch the Footy.

Re: My special place

oh dear @Shaz51 that's not very good of Mr Shaz's MH team.

Makes you not want to reach out for help.

Re: My special place

Yes @Snowie , totally agree and this is where he is now , not wanting to reach out and when the team said he has ASD but it is up to us to get a proper diagnosis

In response to: Re: My special place

SnowieSenior Contributor

Re: My special place

That must make it even more difficult @Shaz51

I get that a diagnosis has to be made by specific people but I'm at a loss to know why they can't organise it for you.

Re: My special place

I know @Snowie , crazy aye

We asked yesterday but she said we have to go through a GP that knows you

That is totally impossible as in a small town you get new doctors come in and out all the time

And the 2 regular doctors are booked out for months at a time
