Hi,
I'm not doing so well. Didn't have a good appointment with psychatrist today and because I am struggling, it is difficult for me to open up.

Hey OG @oceangirl
I had similar feelings on tuesday when i was in a panic state.
If you are concerned by all means go to hospital. Its your call and you have our support. Gotta do whats right for you.
I laughed a bit when you said its hard to meet people - not because i want to be dismissive but because i can totally relate. I'm notcing that these days too.
There is always hope by putting out good things into the world.
I said to the matches i had on a dating app that i wasnt interested and that i hope they had a good time finding whatthey want in life. I wanted to be genuine to them because ghosting hurts people. Plus its not me to be like it.
Anyways i hope you find some peace my friend. God knows we need it in this weird age and time

Re: Checking In
@TAB I'm started to feel the same re friends. And I can't see myself with a partner because I have been on my own too long. Will focus my time with my dogs, gym and other interests. What happen to your boat?

Hey Hams @MDT
I feel like this most of the time and I am struggling to function re severe fatigue. I means a lot to have your support. A friend said I spend too much time looking things up but I don't neccessary agree.. In any case I am looking for more information. I will take that with a grain of salt.
We are not alone in this- many people have similar experiences (meeting people). But just remember some relationships or friendships are not what they seem. In reality they don't care too much about each other (fake). I am not saying that to be negative. It comes out in how they treat others (unkind). I am not sure if I am explaining myself well here. We are going to have a better year- good vibes.
I am hoping for more calmness and peace. BTW how did you deal with your panic attack?

Re: Checking In
Same consensus for mental health care in QLD @Bunniekins. My doc said go if immediately urgent. Otherwise a lot of bed rest and coping strategies. So kind of makeshift homemade hospital. Good luck with everything too @oceangirl! You can make it through this.

Re: Checking In
I'm on the not-married-no-friends list too @oceangirl and @TAB. Online is my only community base now, as well as social support (support workers) and other social programs which NDIS are refusing to fund grrr I won't rave tonight. I need a psychiatrist to help me cope properly. Society is very isolating and belittling now. Even my poor support workers are helping me find self-soothing ways to cope when they're with me for excursions and gardening.

Re: Checking In
Nah all good @oceangirl
I do agree with you re that some friendships aren't what they seem and are likely fake. I have had that realisation with some people in my life. It's a cathartic experience to get it out of the way. I can move on as well. Let the deadwood fall off.
I think this year will be better than last. My friend I know it will.
Be as honest and genuine as you can. Put THAT into the world and watch what happens.
I called sane help service when I had my panic attack. They talked me through it. But I do recall things going crazy in my mind. Constant negative thoughts and constant renumeration. It was bad. But I was able to talk it through. I thinkthe few days after I still needed to unwind from it.
