Something’s not right

I’m crying 😢

I’m crying 😢

Every single time I’m alone, even in crowded places, I weep. I feel pathetic when I do it. I was out shopping today accompanied by only cruel voices and my credit card and I had to leave because I wasn’t enjoying it. Yesterday when I was alone at night for about four hours, I was pretty much unable to distract from my voices. I ended up wanting to harm myself. I didn’t but the urge was there. I also wanted to drink, but instead stayed sober.

I keep having these bizarre fantasies of living life like a celebrity, but instead I’m fixated on being a train wreck of a party girl. A few times now I’ve maxed out my credit card buying fashionable party clothes, tattoos, piercings and expensive alcohol. I keep thinking delusional (or so I’m told?) things like I’m better than the kardashians. Then I glimpse myself in the mirror and see I’m crying. Truth is, I’m 40 my back is that of someone twice my age and I’m not popular enough to be a socialite.

Now the voices in my brain lately laugh every time I cry. Trust me there’s a lot of laughter. Sometimes I laugh too but then I remember why they’re laughing and then I feel like harming myself. This sends my mood plummeting through the floorboards.

I thought about tagging some people in this discussion, but think people will probably read and laugh and that will just make me feel worse.

I’m deadset bawling 😭 and my voices are commenting and laughing. One voice (Asher) keeps repeating “die a martyr”. Don’t worry I won’t!

The Mrs thinks I’m having grandiose ideologies and is worried I’m now crashing down to earth.

Should I worry? Should she worry? I feel really embarrassed as this whole partying thing/celebrity lifestyle (with desire for illicit drugs) has been going on for too long. I feel weird mentioning it because it’s my dirty little secret.

Even when I was doing my course I was doing this. Needless to say the alcohol and drug subject was ‘interesting’.

Gawd, I’m crying again... do I dare say post? Okay here goes...

Re: I’m crying 😢

@Queenie I am sorry things are so horrible and stressful for you at the moment. the voices really need to learn how to be nice for a while. as for good helplines I have not found any that are good with voices but that said there might be some i dont know of. are you able to get in contact with any of your professionals in the next week or so? perhaps it is time to ask around for some extra support if that is something that has been helpful in the past.

I see my gp on Friday @Eden1919 but not holding out for help from her. As far as mental health goes, she’ll do scripts for medication I already have but nothing else.

I never did find an appropriate helpline... sigh 😔

Re: I’m crying 😢

@Queenie I am sorry that is super frustrating I have had trouble finding GP's that are good with mental health issues, likewise the helpline issue is difficult to manage. I hope you are going ok today.

Hey There,

Im sorry I have no advice for you. I just wanted to say that what you said completely resonates with me.

Things having gone down hill recently and I do this whole cry things when I'm alone too, just this morning I shopping and crying, your right its hummiliating. Whats worse if knowing that its stupid and not being able to stop.

I also I guess have a directly little secret of a imaginary life where I guess things are better. I have done this for as long as I can remember. I can spend days just in my head, living something thats not real.

I feel crazy that I would rather live a life in my head than sort our my own shit.

Thank you for sharing, reading your post at least made me feel a little less insane.
