I am struggling at the moment

@Faith-and-Hope I think today how much I have pushed down and not allowed my inner child, especially the happy child. I am so grateful you understand much of this, to me this is all new and sometimes baffling. I hope you feel better soon. I'm going to miss you when you are on the other side of the world. Pretty sure I won't be the only one to miss you. You have taught me a great deal about life over the past 6 months and I'm thankful. Hugs 💜🤗

Sorry @Former-Member ... I did need reminding about your previous therapist. The best way you can honour that relationship retrospectively is to keep moving forward now ..... your progress, with time, may make its way back to her in some way, shape, or form .... hope for resolution and see what happens .... 💕

And hey !! ..... whenever I have Internet access you will be hearing from me .... 😜😍😄🤗😃😋😛😎

Might be in the wee hours of the morning on your time .... but whatever ....😜 .... (you listening too @Former-Member ? You'll be hearing from me .....😏)

❤️💕

Oh wow!! @Former-Member

I get the SH bit - not at all good - I understand that

It would seem that your therapist was a bit rough with you where you were at the time - I am not at all sure when that was - but yes - the Mental Health Team decided you were a safety risk and the psychologist cut you off on the spot

Ah - um - I know you SH'd but was it all just too hard for you with that therapist? I can't see that you would do that if the interviews were working for you - you know best though - and I think it has to be the pits to have something who is in the helping professions to cut us off

It makes sense to me that you would question all of that and wonder if anyone can help - they say that attempts are a cry for help - and to have that cry go worse than unheard -

I am glad you are continuing at TAFE and wondering what you are choosing to do next - it's a good idea to have something to do in January - I maybe could find something for myself

Still on the same journey @Former-Member - it is an honour to be here

😭

That has to have been so hard - oh man - you did not have the chance to find out what the psychologist thought - what had you done that was so wrong - no investigation at all - that is the living pits

I am so glad you survived that but it was horrible - I don't think you deserved that and your journey into being suicidal and having a D & A collapse - it makes me ask

Does there not have to be two sides to be seen to here?

Surely there has to be - you don't go and SH for the sake of having a go at someone - it almost breaks my heart to know you went through that

I started here in late March - and I have been a lot better since then - I feel as if I have the imput from a lot of people whose lives are in a real tangle - and although things are not like that for me now - 90% of the time - or more - there are those times when I feel as if the world is a cold and empty place - and I feel lost and isolated

So - I feel this is a good place - and it seems that the therapist you have not is better and you have the occassional break in hospital for respite - which you always seem better afterwards

But I know things are not at all easy for you

Also - I want you to know - reading what your write here gives me insight into what my son lived through - I really want you to know how much this helps - I am beginning to see his situation more clearly

Hi @Former-Member .... 😊

It really is an amazing site ....

🌷💜

Hi @Former-Member

This really upsets and makes me angry that someone who is meant to be educated has treated you like this, I guess it does not matter if someone as a degree or not really. I would not waste my time and energy thinking about this person. I truly don't understand how this person can say what they said to you and tell you that you can't have therapy for 5 months. That is terrible !!

I would be getting well for myself mainly but also the people in your life who love and care about you. You have that warrior in you @Former-Member . And please keep nurturing that little girl inside of you- just remember you are precious. Keep looking after that little girl inside of you.

Hi @Former-Member

I am so glad you have found us - the people here are immensely wonderful - battling along with their own lives they still reach out to other people - and care so much about each other

Last Easter I had four days alone with one foot elevated after squishing it when I slipped and somehow managed to cause myself some real pain - and the weather was bleak and terrible and of course there were other things - and I happened on this website at the right time in my life and found a Forum Family

So you are most welcome too - and we will listen and give your virtual hugs - I feel we are all part of something really helpful in our lives - and this is really great
