Struggling

Struggling

Hi all,

Things are really hard my way I'm struggling I've been very distant from social media so I haven't been on forums much due to my MH being really bad. I just seem to be picking myself up constantly and it's not fun it's exhausting. I've constantly been switching alters, I've been told I have another one so that's making me scared and worried.
I am keeping to myself a lot because I'm struggling.
I'm trying to get myself stable so I can be better again and that I can do the things I want to do * once Covid is over *

I'm sorry that I haven't been around lately

Take care all ❤️🦋

Re: Struggling

Hey @Fluttershy1

I am really glad you are safe.

It is difficult when we feel obliged to put on a happy face all the time with our families. Maybe they want us to feel good so they can reassure themselves. WIthout blaming anyone, it makes mental health a psycho-social situation. A kind of mismatch. When that mismatch is severe it could cause a lot of stress and strain. Are you able to get clear medical guidance about your physical heart issues?

Hi @Fluttershy1

I'm so sorry that they don't understand.

My boys father doesn't either and it's awful for my boy.

Can you involve them in an appointment around your MH and heart condition?

Maybe hearing it from the dr they might then believe it?

Sending you love as always thinking of you sweetie 💞

Hey @MDT hope you are well buddy 😊

Re: Struggling

I'm glad you are safe @Fluttershy1 but I also am sad to see you struggling

Sometimes people can be hard to do deal with and especially when they dint seek to understand our pain

Is there anyone you are close to that can be a support outside the family scenario? A friend or someone else in your extended family.

Either way, we are here to support you my friend.

Re: Struggling

Hey @Appleblossom,

The doctors have told my family about my heart condition. They just think I'm seeking attention.

Re: Struggling

@Anastasia - My Dr has tried explaining it to them but they still don't believe it. I'm sitting here in tears once again. I just wish it got abit better. I wish they could understand when they don't believe me that it hurts me more. I wish they could understand the pain I am in. I wish they could believe that my MH is real not fake. I wish they could stop telling me that when I go to the hospital for my MH that I'm attention seeking. I wish MH triage could at least not push me away when I don't have much support at the moment.

I'm a mess at the moment my head is absolutely everywhere.

I'm safe 💙

Re: Struggling

Hey @MDT,

only my support team understands, I'm trying to get all the right supports but NDIS have taken my support hours away so now I only have 7 hours a week which isn't fair at all. It really hurts me. I wish it could get better. They have also made me change my Pysch appointments to fortnightly which isn't good for me at this current point of time because of everything going on.

I feel like I'm not being heard by anyone accept my support team and here

im safe 🐬

Re: Struggling

Is your support team trying to explain to your family what you deal with? @Fluttershy1
I'm not 100% sure how it works with NDIS stuff I'm sorry.

What do those 7 hours encompass ?

Re: Struggling

@Fluttershy1 Was wondering if your supports work with you on some coping strategies when things begin to get tough?
