losing hope

Hey there @Rubyrose1,

I'm the moderator this afternoon. I'm sorry to hear you've been having a really tough time. I can see you're feeling exhausted with your mental health journey and feeling pretty confused about where you are with it now. It all sounds very debilitating.

I'm glad you've connected with us here. The SANE community are amazing and i'm sure you will hear from some members soon. In the meantime, I'm pretty concerned about your well-being today and will send you an email to talk privately.

Here for you,

Sphinxly

@Rubyrose1 I replied in the introduce yourself thread, so forgive me if I double up.

I’m really sorry you are struggling so much, and that your Dr and psych aren’t hearing you. Have you ever been to a counsellor, someone you can talk to, not just medicate you ? I know finding a good fit can be hard, but being heard is really important, it was for me anyway.

Your withdrawals sound awful.

I dont know if you feel like looking around the forums, but there are lots of us here struggling with many different and difficult things. Understanding really helps, no judgment does also.

Its good to see you here.

thank you maggie for your message

yes, I've tried counselors and psychologists all sorts of medications, different doctors. the problem is that where I'm from the medical systems is underfunded and none of the specialist doctors hang around for very long, so every time you have an appointment you get thrust onto a different doctor and they then decide that my diagnosis is something totally different, I'm so tired of this system over 20 years of this crap and I'm finally done! 😞

Hi @Rubyrose1

Just wanted to say that I read your post and it sounds like you've really had enough of the mental health system. I don't have answers on that one, but I hope you find some friends here. It has been life changing for me because people just get it.

I'll tag you in a thread re motivation that has helped me when I feel stuck and imobilised by anxiety.

Take care

thank you so much for hearing me, yes I'm just tired of it all, I want to just have a happy life without all the fear and anxiety, mentally I just don't think I can go through another change of medication, just the thought of it just makes me want to disappear

@Rubyrose1 I can certainly understand where you are coming from. The system is broken, in my opinion anyway. That doesn’t help the frustration and pain you are left with though.

Just try chatting around the forums, see how you feel. Like everything, it takes time to build up to a sense of being here. Getting to know others, sharing the load.
