Something’s not right

Anxious 😟

Anxious 😟

TW SI

Today I am at war in my head. One part of me just wants to give up and just cease to be part of this world. I am so tired of fighting to get ahead and there is always something- right now I am struggling with assessments, lack of connections to others and my weight. I have put on so much weight recently and feel so uncomfortable. But one part of me still wants to hang around and be part of this world. At varying times of the day either one can be winning the war as I am quite up and down emotionally too.
I am not looking for sympathy or even really advice- I have a therapist, I know I should take my medication but I don’t want to, I have been using distraction techniques when things get too rough, I know people etc care about me and I have been considering mindfulness. I just wanted to put how I feel out there while the part that wants to stay is winning as it could change later in the day.

Hi @outlander I live in a rural area so don't think we have any weight management teams here. I don't know about women's health options either but considering it is almost impossible to get an appointment with a doctor it is probably not available. I have taken stock of my eating and exercise and hopefully will see some positive results soon. The weight management team you go to sounds really good and I wish we did have that.

I hate taking medication, it is a mental thing with me which is silly I know considering it may make a positive difference.

The assessment is for work.

Re: Anxious 😟

My therapist doesn’t give a toss about missing my appointment Friday - she responded today to the message I left Friday saying that I don’t have an appointment today so I sent back a message saying it was Friday. She sent back a message offering me another appointment (I can't do this week now as too much in) but no apology or explanation for Friday. I am aware she has a life etc etc but surely an apology is not too much considering I am at the stage in my therapy that I need regular appointments and just not calling and then me having to chase it up is irritating. I think I am just going to cancel therapy altogether as she has done this twice now and it is not helping.
I feel so flat today and everything is an effort, like I am moving through treacle.

Hi Lilly6,

I'm sorry to see you are feeling disheartened by your therapist's response and that you are feeling especially flat today. Some days can feel like a struggle!

I hope you can do something nice for yourself today and I hope your peers here on the forum can offer you some extra support 🙂

Take care,

Peregrinefalcon

Thanks @Shaz51 tonight I am doing my nails as self care. I love coffee and drink it every day - lots of coffee!
I just feel so up and down and this can be multiple times a day, very difficult to deal with. Doing my nails tonight has helped though.
