What do you do when ....

What do you do when ....

Seems like there noone to turn to. And so i sit alone and crying. I appear strong and helpful to others. Yet here i feeling very alone. I have no friends. A sister thats sick. A husband caught up in his own world. Children with their own problems i try hanhd support. Who is left? A psychiatrist on leave. A psycholgist booked out untill theend of the month. Even the cat is aloof. Maybe all i need to do is cry, sob my heart out. Maybe that would help. I would give anything for someone to say they care. I seem to be giving so much out , theres nothing left for me. So here i sit. Alone

Re: What do you do when ....

Well i tried again.i was told i was booked in for 11.15. Iwas told and had it written down for10.30 it was all i could do to wait till 11 and i again walked out. I couldnt handle waiting any longer. I have an appointment with my psychologist tomorow(they rang me last night with a cancelation) then my psychiatrist rang and asked if i wanted an appointment for two weeks time, so i took that one too. Hopefully it will all work out better tomorow. I feel really muddled up. My mood is swinging from one extreme to the other. I can hardly keep track of what day it is.

@Chris It’s so frustrating having to wait so long for a drs appointment, you wonder how they could possibly be running so late that early in the morning.

I’m glad you have an appointment with your psychologist, hopefully you will be able to get a few things off your chest and not feel so muddled.

I understand what it’s like to have the extreme mood swings, it’s not a comfortable place to be. I hope you start to feel better real soon ❤️❤️

Hi @Chris

I guess I'm not much help, but believe me, I do so very much understand.

When the feeling of being alone when others are around, one can feel very lonely, but being 'alone'....it's almost like a vacuum. I understand not knowing what to do, I tend to wander aimlessly around the house, sort of zombie-like.

I know it's no help, but might be something to find there are others who feel similar.

lots of hugs 🙂

Re: What do you do when ....

Thank you both for your support. I was very open with my psychologist. She thinks i should seriously consider going into hospital. It will probably take two weeks to get a bed. I really dont like the idea. I really hate going in for many reasons. We did come up with some stratagies to put in place straight away. I will see her again on Monday (which was my original appointment) Then i see my Psychiatrist a week Tuesday. So in the mean time i need to make sure i put these stratagies in place every day.

@Chris I’m so glad you were very open in your session with your psychologist. It sounds like you may have gotten a few things off your chest, and now have some strategies to help too.

Maybe after seeing your psychologist again and your psychiatrist you might feel better about going to hospital. I’ve never had a hospital stay so I wouldnt know what to expect, but I imagine there will be people to help and you will get time to rest. I know you’re not happy now, and if a hospital visit can make you feel better it sounds worth it.

If it helps to keep chatting, I’m happy to be a listening ear. I’m guessing you're feeling a bit wiped out after your appointment today, I know I’m pretty wiped out after my sessions. I hope you get some peaceful rest tonight ❤️❤️
