having a bad morning

having a bad morning

I am feeling that my life at the moment is crap. I am so depressed and find that more so in the mornings. I hate myself so much, the way I feel, the way I act and behave. I know people will say to me 'oh just get over it' or 'you're not trying hard enough' - well to those people who say that: Do you have a mental illness; do you know what it's like to have depression and feel so dark that you cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel; do you self harm to get rid of your emotions and to feel the pain; or do you think about suicide because it's all too much and you can't handle the pain anymore - NO. So don't tell me to just 'move on' or 'stop being too sensitive'.

I am not having a good morning this morning; tears are flowing as i am typing. And I have to get ready for work; damn work. Sometimes I wonder if life is worth living and why?

I really don't know how i am going go today at work; I feel so depressed. 😞

Hi @BlueBay

I am so glad you got to see your doctor tonight. He has confirmed what you already knew .... that you need help to get everything sorted out, and the psych needs to sort out what is happening with your hospital admission ...

That was pro-active of you to chase it up with the doctor, and good that you opened up and could talk to your hubby about where you're really at ....

Big hugs @BlueBay .... I hope you can get some sleep tonight and rest up to help your mind and body cope with this emotional storm you are in. Well done that you are communicating your needs again and again until you are heard and understood ....

Youre getting there ....

Thinking of you so much ....

💜💙

Hi @BlueBay. Glad you got to see your doctor and he recognises your crisis. Bloody waiting for psychiatrist to admit you to hospital must be frustrating. Glad you got some sleeping tablets. Hope you get a good rest tonight and we can talk tomorrow if you like. Sweet dreams

Hi @BlueBay,

Just wondering how you are feeling today after a distressing day yesterday? Did you manage a good sleep? It can really soothe the nervous system.

Are there things you can do this weekend to take care of yourself and distract from negative thoughts. It's good that you opened up to your husband and your Dr about what is going on inside.

Take care,

Frog

Hi @Former-Member
Terrible night sleep. Forgot to take meds to sleep. Seeing a friend for lunch don't really want to see anyone. Also appt with my reg therapist who I see weekly.
Don't want to do or see anyone weekend. Feel so lost co fused and emotionally exhausted. Maybe I shld cancel everything today and go away. My psych has let me down.

Good morning @BlueBay

Please do not cancel your session with the therapist. If you do only one thing today, please go and see you therapist, even if your in your pjs - you need support right now and if I remember correctly you do have a good relationship with your therapist. When is your appointment?

Hi @Former-Member
Appt at 11am. Need to get away.
Can't do anything. Need a break.
Sorry not good in talking this morning.

I have felt let down "by the system", "by my care team" so many times and the amount of angry letters my current team had to read I can't count. I've had many hate sessions with online counsellors telling them how the world is hurting me and letting me down and how everyone is just against me. And I have changed psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors on the way. By now I understand their role and my role in the recovery process a little bit better.

I wish you courage for today, go see your counsellor, try to get some sleep in the afternoon. If you think your friend could help to cheer you up, go and see your friend for lunch. It might be hard to go but it can make a real difference. I'm only here online for you, I cannot hug you or look in your eyes, real people make such a difference! If you feel overwhelmed with the lunch location, suggest a quiet alternative, or could she come to your house?

I so much wish I could be there with you now, having a cuppa and getting you through the day, minute by minute, hour by hour.

Big hugs to you xoxoxo

Please call a helpline if you feel too overwhelmed. Even if you're speechless at the beginning (I know I sometimes am) they can help. Does your husband know you have the appointment with your counsellor? Can he drive you?

I am going to go for a quick walk down the beach with hubby, and then a coffee. I really want to see my old friends for lunch but my head is pulling me opposite direction. if i don't go i have let them down again, many times. i can't let people down.

i will go and see my therapist and then hopefully i will be okay to go to lunch. i have pre-warned my friend about me not been too good at present, but she encouraged me to come.

I so wish today was tuesday, even monday so i can ring my psych's office. maybe i can even speak to another psych who i have seen before a few times and let him know how bad i am.

thank you so much @Former-Member for being here for me, hugs, coffee (sounds good).

i know you haven't been too great either, so sending you a hug too. xxxx
