Struggling with everything.

Struggling with everything.

Hi guys
How nice to have a place where people understand you ad wont judge.
I just need a vent. Everything is just getting on top of me and I just cry or yell and scream and I dont know why.
I havent seen my psychiatrist for ages and my meds (when i take them) dont seem to be doing anything.
I am not a whinger so I dont say anything to people...and its not worth the stigma.
I dont want to be ITO'ed again.
Just needed to open up to somone.

Thanks.
TG

Re: Struggling with everything.

Hi,

I'm glad you're here, its definitely a non judgemental place here and theres usually someone who can relate to what you'regoing through.

I'm also feeling, at least tongiht, like things are building up again in my life so i can relate. I also take meds for my stuff, but i get the worst side effects if i forget, and i know my moods go up and down if i dont take them really regularly at the same time each day. Would it be worth getting into your psychiatrist just to check up on how the meds might be affecting you? But get the fears re being ITO'd.

I dont tend to say much to people about my mental health stuff either, its so tricky isnt it. I don't want to tell people too much especially at work... scared of what they might think or if they'll be as judgemental as other people...

Re: Struggling with everything.

Hi LJ
Thanks for your reply. We sound very similar.
I hate the stigma at work. I am openly avoided by some people who know about my MHI which sucks. I have been admitted so many times i cant remember but dont want to go back. Lastti.e I was able to SH and all they did was say they had to write me up about it. When I said Id asked a nurse to come see me so I could talk and waited 3 hours they decided not to write me up. And that was a private facility. Ive been in public and private and none of it helps.
Im just feeling lost.
Hope to talk soon.

Hello @Tatgirl16

Sounds as if you have sorted some things out but are still under a lot of pressure .. so letting it out that way .. I hope you do get a better sense of connectedness here ... so there is not so much backlog & steam
