They seem to be behaving for the moment. Had an MRI on Wed so just waiting for a date for the surgery.

Just feel like I'm falling to bits at the moment!

NatashaRostova · 23/08/2014 14:05

It seems to go like that doesn't it? When one thing goes wrong so does everything else. I have hip/knee pain quite regularly and it nags away at you.

SnowyMouse · 23/08/2014 14:36

(((( Natasha )))) It must be very hard, I don't think that depression/PTSD are less serious than other MH conditions. please keep talking, it's very hard to have a pet pts, particularly on top of everything else that you're experiencing.

Sorry work are being so rubbish, something, it must take a lot to go in, big hugs.

(,victrix) hope you managed to get some rest. Sorry for not replying to all, am having a really bad few days. Was sobbing yesterday, and the day before , crying now too. I feel hideous , worthless, and out of nowhere today I thought that I just wanted to die and started fantasizing about ways to do it.I'm just absolutely vile and worthless, and I hate everything about myself. Sometimes I think dd would be better off without me.

SomethingVicardThisWayComes · 23/08/2014 18:48

Something, I've replied.

Snowy thanks. The MH services here have a hierarchy of conditions and depression/PTSD don't rank highly enough for long-term services and are managed by the GP unless you are in crisis.

Katkins that sounds awful. Your DD would be devastated without you, not better off. Could you ring someone?

SomethingVicardThisWayComes · 23/08/2014 21:23

Natasha - you are in crisis. you need to tell them!

NatashaRostova · 23/08/2014 21:29

Crisis gets you crisis team. I rang them and they told me not to go near open water and then sent a letter telling me I was discharged and no longer eligible to phone them.

SomethingVicardThisWayComes · 23/08/2014 21:32

so get back to your gp and tell them how you are feeling. if you are suicidal you need to make that very clear to the medics.

NatashaRostova · 23/08/2014 21:34

I have told them everything. They know when and how. They aren't bothered.

NatashaRostova · 23/08/2014 21:36

Anyway, I don't want to talk about it anymore. The time for talking is well gone.

Flowers for the help and listening. I hope everyone is able to be braver than me.

LEMmingaround · 23/08/2014 21:56

Natasha, can you tell us a bit about your dog? i know it seems weird but i just had to talk about mine non stop when i lost them? So if you are wanting to remember him we would love to hear about him?

Katkins1 · 23/08/2014 22:04

Natasha, can you go to a n e? Have you hurt yourself tonight-it sounds as though you have? Can you keep talking to us on here? If you can't, then pm one of us and give us your contact details. We can help. I know you must be scared, but let us get you some help.

NatashaRostova · 23/08/2014 22:06

I haven't done anything. I'm just sick of talking.

Victrix · 23/08/2014 22:08

I haven't got anything useful to add but I'm thinking of you Nat x

NatashaRostova · 23/08/2014 22:20

It's not appropriate for me to be posting as I have and I want the village to get back to the place it was before I joined the thread. I'm deleting my account.

Thanks for listening to me, I know what a chore it has been. I wish you all the very best.

Katkins1 · 23/08/2014 22:49

I think Natasha has name changed, and is planning to get to hospital if I'm right. I hope that is her and she gets the help she needs. You can post here anytime, Natasha, under any name.

NatashaRostova · 23/08/2014 22:52

I haven't name changed and I'm not going to hospital.

I'm deleting my account.

LEMmingaround · 23/08/2014 22:58

Natasha, we are here for you no matter what, the village is the same as it always was, we go through it together. I do hope you find some comfort. PM me any time and i'll give you my email address if you want it.

Katkins, you sound so low :( what has made you feel so bad today specifically? You adore your DD and she needs and loves you.

Katkins1 · 23/08/2014 22:59

Oh, Ok. Sorry, crossed wires.

Is there a reason you want to delete your account?

You haven't been a chore at all, and we'd like to keep supporting you

Katkins1 · 23/08/2014 23:04

LEM, I don't know. Just panicked and my thoughts were intrusive. I've seen a spider (on the TV set and then on the carpet), heard it growling, seen a body on the carpet and heard a witch cackling. Then her name appeared in my head. Oh good, 5 voices now. (sigh). Then I thought she was behind the door. I do need a meds review, I reckon (!); I'll push for it when I see my CpN this week, or sooner if I get worse. I'm not manic or out of touch and had this last week too. I have every reason to think I have something on the schritoprehina side or scale now, and I do think I need a proper assesment as I've not had one yet.

I cope rather well, though. Just sitting here listening to music.

NatashaRostova · 23/08/2014 23:04

I just don't want to talk about it anymore. Time for talking is past. I've had enough, I don't need PMs telling me how selfish I am. I know all this, it's why it is time to go.

LEMmingaround · 23/08/2014 23:10

I don't think you are selfish, not in the slightest. I think if anyone has said that to you then its because they desperately don't want you to hurt yourself. We just want to help and would hate for you to be cut off from this support, you don't have to post, but please don't delete your account, just in case you need it? of course you can always re register but its a hassle which you can do without if you are not coping. We value your support here too.

NatashaRostova · 23/08/2014 23:13

I've requested the deletion, just waiting for MNHQ. It's better this way anyway, I don't want people looking at my laptop afterwards to be able to follow a trail to me on here.

Katkins1 · 23/08/2014 23:24

I don't think you are selfish, Natasha. I really do think you should make a phone call. Samartians -08457 90 90 90. If nothing else, call them. Give it five minutes. Five minutes is all.
