Something’s not right

I am not sure what else to do can anyone think of anything?

I am not sure what else to do can anyone think of anything?

I am wondering if anyone here can think of anything because I am really not sure what to do and I have tried everything I can. I am having a really really very hard time and I have tried telling my psychiatrist multiple times that I am not coping and he doesn’t know what to do, my psychologist gave up and left me maybe 2 months ago and wouldn’t even try and help me find someone new and now I don’t have a psychologist and I have been searching online but can’t find anyone who deals with complex issues. My GP isn’t able to help, hospital wasn’t helpful it made things worse, meds don’t work for me and even if I do manage to find a psychologist I doubt I would be able to see them soon and the issues I have been having the psychologist has never been able to help with anyway.

I really don’t know what to do I am at the point where I cannot cope with anything and am not even sure how I am making it through each day. My eating disorder is really really bad and I keep hearing things and seeing things and I keep getting scared everyone around me is trying to hurt me, my ocd is constant and I can’t even take a step without doing something, I am having a lot of panic attacks and when I am not panicking I am crying I have lost my reason for staying alive and my whole uni degree has been completely ruined my family doesn’t understand and they are getting annoyed at me, my friends aren’t able to help and I don’t even feel real anymore I gave up everything to be able to do one thing and that is now gone. I don’t know what to do I have nobody left to contact to even try and get any help and I am genuinely feeling like I am not going to be able to keep doing this for much longer but I have exhausted all my options for help so now I don’t know what to do.

Hi @Eden1919 I am sorry that your original request was not acknowledged at the time. I am so sorry that this has caused frustration and upset you but deleting the complete thread means it also deletes others peoples comments. I hope that is okay with you and I will forward an email to discuss further if you wish. Of course you can ask questions freely I hope and I would expect a difference of opinions with any thread should someone disagree and that is okay. To agree to disagree is a good option. Please let me know if you would like further contact.

Hi @Eden1919

I'm so sorry you feel how you do atm. I can relate to a lot of what you say - not in terms of your specific pain - but it terms of feeling overwhelmed by it, lost and hopeless. And re your Uni - I had to stop work years ago and despite attempts simply have not been able to return - even part time in something else - yet. But that doesn't mean that you might have more success - even if it happens that you don't return to uni studies for a bit.

Perhaps you could try giving yourself permission to just focus on taking things one day at a time for a while - and worry about the longer term stuff later? Maybe taking some pressure off or letting go of some expectations, for now, might help? Just stay safe and look after yourself as best you can. I know that in itself can be difficult - but perhaps there are distractions that give you comfort / help pass the time? Music? Movies? A walk? Video games? Reading? Every day that passes is a chance for you to feel better (even if right now it might feel like you never will). I have had times (and still do) when just getting through the day takes everything I've got. And it feels like nothing will ever improve. But it can. And it has. Every time. Really hoping it does for you soon🤞.

Even if none off that helps, please just know I'm thinking of you. I feel your pain and frustration. I really hope it eases. Wishing you all the best.

Take care,

GTT

@Sylvester I was just trying to get rid of the thread before I said something I shouldn’t have but if you don’t want to get rid of it I will just stop replying/looking at the thread and unsubscribe to it so that I don’t have to interact with it. Then people can keep talking here if they want.
