Something’s not right

Depths

Depths

So I've had meds of various sorts, docs, therapists, ECT, hospitalisation, employment, unemployment, colouring therapy, mindfulness, arts/crafts, journaling, exercise just to name a few. I'm losing what remaining hope I had, and it's becoming more than I can bear. Yesterday Lifeline suggested just having a cuppa tea and a warm bath. Oh, that's so that's a sweet idea. Making a hot cuppa tea is a delightful way to counteract my intense, deep and serious feelings of wanting to be forever non-existent. *sheesh* I feel that all the places I've come across to help are patch-meal. I need a better plan than someone on a keyboard or in a call centre telling to not off myself because I have tea in the kitchen. Oooh yipee.

I don't know what the point is. I've been an absolute leach on my family and society, and I can't even find the most simple of jobs to start making a contribution again. I can't seem to trust myself in the simplest of tasks (like sending a work-related email) because my confidence is blown. Most of all, the majority of people (like my family and daycare drop-off) need me to just be smiley so I play pretend a few hours a day. I'm losing the ability to play pretend. I don't give two f*cks anymore about myself. It scares me that I don't, but I don't. I know my attitude is shot, but I hope you can forgive me.

Re: Depths

Is the hospital suggestion for meds update @believeinme ? I have hear it is often better managed in a hospital setting.

@believeinme. That's great you can see an improvement in your mood today. I've never been fussed on thread count (probably too poor), but I totally understand your issue with the hospital cafeteria food.
Every time I used to go for dinner at The Melbourne ClinClinic & line uo behind everyone else - I would get The Love Boat theme song running through my head. It often reminded me of the RSL on pension day. lol. Except the food was not worth lining up for.
Maybe your psych mentioned the hospital stay, to makd sure you are safe. Maybe you are feeling safer today. I hope so.
Again, glad you are feeling a big more like your old self today. Enjoy those sheets

Re: Depths

Thanks @utopia. Sorry I was being a snot about the sheets. It's not really about the sheets. I just threw that in for dramatic effect. There was someone in a nearby room that lost her battle with mental illness in a room close to mine while I was in hospital last time. Because of that and just generally not feeling warm and fuzzy about hospitals overall, I feel safer in my own bed. I religiously take my meds, and the hospital wasn't as on the ball as I am about that either. I really appreciate you following me even though I'm a pain in the *ss when I'm down. I am doing MUCH better today. I've felt close to a normal mood most of the day. I think the higher dosage of meds is kicking in. 🙂
