Waiting for the crisis team - support needed.

I have posted on the sertraline thread but wanted to post elsewhere.

I have been feeling increasingly unwell over the past few weeks and my self harm has increased. In the past week I have started to see signs from God that I should kill myself. I know that these are irrational thoughts but I am finding it hard not to believe them.

I saw my psychologist today and I was very upset because I feel so confused. I know what the signs are telling me but I am so scared. I don't know what the right thing to do is.

After I saw him I sat in my car for an hour outside the CMHT office, I couldn't move or do anything I just felt so stuck. The songs on the radio were giving me signs and I know that I have to hurt myself properly but I am so scared.

I went back inside and spoke to him again. He rang the crisis team and said that he had told them that while I am normally very high risk at the most they felt I was at a significant risk of harm that could only be managed in hospital.

They are coming out at 8pm to assess me for an admission.

I am so scared. I have been IP twice in the past six months. I feel like such a failure. I know I am seeing connections that aren't there, and my psychologist said that I am delusional but I can't shake it.

I am scared of an admission, scared of being at home and killing myself tonight. Scared. :(

I am not a bad person but all of these signs are showing me that I am.

(((fluffy)))

I'm sorry you're feeling so awful. Is it worth seeing your GP or CPN? x

fluffydressinggown · 23/09/2013 15:53

I see my CPN tomorrow so will chat about things with her.

Just so frustrating to feel like this. I feel like I will never get better.

Hi fluffy you dropped off my list somehow, but I've thought of you [hug] Brew.

Are you allowed to up your meds if you want to, or do you need to check with CPN?

TheSilverySoothsayer · 23/09/2013 18:13

oops just seen your last post...

As to feeling you will never get better, has there been a pattern to your illness in the past that might give you hope?

fluffydressinggown · 23/09/2013 20:59

It is just hard to see a recovery because I always relapse :(

I am just sick and tired of this crap.

TheSilverySoothsayer · 23/09/2013 21:18

Not surprising you're sick and tired of it.

You have always relapsed so far. Which must mean you have got better in the past? I know it is crap atm though.

fluffydressinggown · 24/09/2013 17:00

Had a rubbish appointment, I was not helpful or connected. I feel so low at the moment, not sure how to get past this hurdle.

TheSilverySoothsayer · 24/09/2013 17:40

Sad at least they know how you are Sad

Did you check re med increase?

fluffydressinggown · 24/09/2013 18:33

We talked about the meds but didn't organise anything, so I will ring her tomorrow to try and sort it out.

I am so worried everyone will give up on me because I am not better yet.

fluffydressinggown · 25/09/2013 13:33

fluffydressinggown · 25/09/2013 16:45

Thanks for the support. I am home and stitched up with the cat purring away next to me.

And now my husband hates me for cutting. Why am I such a dickhead.

OP posts:
SnowyMouse · 25/09/2013 18:53

Are you sure it's you, rather than the cutting that he doesn't like?

Hugs

fluffydressinggown · 25/09/2013 20:19

It is the cutting he hates, it is hard to see how much I have disappointed him, just feel like a massive fuck up.

I seriously think he would be better without me sometimes. I feel like a waste of space.

OP posts:
TheSilverySoothsayer · 25/09/2013 22:59

fluffy he just wants you to be well - but I am 100% sure he would rather have you as you are atm than be without you Sad Sending hugs to you both x.

fluffydressinggown · 27/09/2013 14:09

I spoke to my CPN today and I am going up to 40mg on my fluxoetine to see if that helps. Feel very muddly today but trying to keep going.

OP posts:
SnowyMouse · 27/09/2013 19:33

I hope it helps fluffy ! Do you have plans for the weekend?

fluffydressinggown · 29/09/2013 19:58

Had a quiet weekend, I feel very low at the moment, like everything is pointless. I am not sure how I feel about SI at the moment, half of me wants to do it and half of me can't be bothered. Decisions decisions.

OP posts:
fluffydressinggown · 30/09/2013 15:39

Well apparently I did feel like self harming. More stitches today. Everything is shit.

OP posts:
SnowyMouse · 30/09/2013 18:38

Oh fluffy Sad I'm sorry things are so difficult for you at the moment. Is there anything you can hold onto for yourself?

TheSilverySoothsayer · 30/09/2013 18:54

[hugs] fluffy. Wish I could help. snowy and I find distraction in Solitaire.

fluffydressinggown · 30/09/2013 19:02

My CPN rang me today and gave me a bit of a talking to, said I need to change and start to allow myself to feel my feelings instead of using SI as a distraction. I know I do but it is hard and I am so tired of everything.
