[PurpleFrames]

My other thread got deleted before I could read any messages which was a bit ouch.

Is there anyone who can have a bit of a chat? If you commented before it would be nice to hear what you said

Thanks

Sorry, I didn’t see your other thread. I hope you are doing okay.

Hello cake x no need to say sorry.
It is good to hear from you - I have been doing a bit better. I posted as I have a period of lots of change coming up and it has been making me feel suicidally low and I can't really talk to anyone about it.

How are you doing?

@PurpleFrames I’m doing fine, thanks.

Will the upcoming changes probably help you? Did you get to make or help make the decisions regarding the changes?

Hi @PurpleFrames, how are you doing today? Didn’t see your other thread, sorry, but just saying hi and seeing if you’re okay.

Will the upcoming changes probably help you? Did you get to make or help make the decisions regarding the changes?

I wasn't involved in the decision making process, it was presented to me and my advocate as a final decision. We appealed twice and the appeals were dismissed without explanation, they said not providing reasoning was for my benefit... I will be as of the end of the week without any mental health support or ongoing treatment... I am also on the edge of being without a place to live and I no longer have a job because of covid.

Hi @Star8181 I am a little better than when I first wrote this thank you for asking. I feel a bit tearful. Do you ever feel like you will always be alone/lonely? I am supposed to be going to Lidl but i can't get motivated.. x

@PurpleFrames one thing a good friend of mine always said to me over and over during my lowest point was that nothing lasts forever. It really is true and you have to hold on to it. Things will get better. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate and I think anyone in the same position would struggle. Be kind to yourself, you’re doing great x

I hope you got out to the shop today, and were able to get what you wanted.
Did the decision state what to do if you need help- or do they just expect you to go to A&E?
The housing situation sounds particularly stressful.
Are you having to make a lot of phone calls to try to manage everything?

I did get to the shop in the end but I was stupid and didn't check the Sunday opening so got in a flap and didn't end up getting what I wanted duhhh 🙈

Yes I think that's what they want me to do, either a&e or wait for a GP appointment..

I haven't really been talking to anyone. I feel a bit like I can't trust if being honest doesn't work . I'm a quiet person and know full well if I kicked off and was aggressive I'd get my own way so I'm cross at myself for not being able to do that and get my needs met...

I didn't really realise how much even the little amount of human interaction I had pre covid mattered. I guess everyone feels like that tho.

Thank you @Star8181

Please send me good vibes for tomorrow as my appointment is in the afternoon :S

I hope they listen & help.

Get a little treat after your appointment.

Hi cake and star

My update on today- I'm now on my own.

I bought a chocolate mousse as a treat

Good morning @PurpleFrames, you’re not on your own, I’m here! I’ve got to get my children off to school now but will post later. Hope you have a good day.

Loss of services and Covid-related restrictions will make this a challenging winter for you. But you can get through this.

When/how will your housing matter be settled?

Thank you

My housing will be resolved if/when i find somewhere I can afford to live in within a month. I found somewhere else I really liked but they also turned me down- and were quite rude about my finances saying the landlord didn't want someone on such a low income...

Sometimes I can't actually believe the way things happen, they just don't happen to people I know.

The one who was rude about your income doesn’t know you at all.
There are all kinds of terrible tenants- and some of them have quite a bit of money.

I hope you’ve started packing, and are acting quickly when you hear of a possible place.

I had a big wobble and hurt myself. It feels awkward sharing. No one in my real life knows, I didn't seek medical care. I don't want to be a burden on nhs right now.

Night night both x

You’re not a burden on the nhs. If you need (or might need) more medical care than you can safely give yourself at home, please see a doctor.

Funnily enough my doctors surgery called me today, I have to have tests following overdose induced seizures. Have laid in bed or the sofa all day. Didn't do anything too bad until late pm. I want my mum :(

Are you off the sofa yet?
Maybe you could call your mum just to hear her voice a bit. Have a light chat about her garden or the holidays or whatever.

I'm sorry you have having a difficult time . Sending a handhold OP.
Have you been discharged from MH services?

Hello

@cakeandchampagne I called her and got upset, she did listen and sent a virtual hug..

Yes I have @Someone1987 - I have just seen my discharge letter and it says I am doing better but also when I am more stable I need high level and long lasting psychological intervention (?) so guess I'm not that better and it's a resources issue...

I went to see a potential new house today but it didn't work out it was very cold and every window was overlooked by others. So strange how you could see directly into other peoples rooms...

Some people don’t mind “living in a fishbowl”. I wouldn’t like it.

Keep looking! You’ll find a good one.
