I am not coping well at the moment. I feel like my mental health is like a roller coaster going really fast. Moods are constantly switching so are my alters.
I feel like I'm stuck in my own thoughts at the moment and feel like I can't escape them. My panic attacks are becoming more frequent than usual. Feeling numb aswell.

@Former-Member - it's so hard, I'm trying to hold myself together but I seem to be chasing after myself. It gets exhausting after a while. I wish it could get easier.... I've only just got a new diagnosis and it's very scary.... I'm currently crying because It's all to much the new diagnosis. *Im sfae*
must go hide.

Thanks for responding @Fluttershy1 and I can hear that it's hard right now working out how you feel about this new diagnosis. Look after yourself and speak to your mental health professionals about what the next steps might be in your treatment and recovery. Take care🌻

would it be worth having a look for a different psychologist (and other people in your support system) to someone who may be abit more avaliable each week? that way you have regular support in place all the time?
could you perhaps look into getting a support worker as an extra person in your team? @Fluttershy1
i know youve spoken to a few helplines so im guessing they have also given you some coping strategies. do you think trying some of those to calm down might be better?
