Is anyone there

[Strugglingalone]

Really struggling, the thoughts to overdose are overwhelming
I haven’t spoken to my mental health nurse in 3 weeks
I don’t think anyone understands, feel forgotten and invisible

They don’t really see a crisis till it’s too late so I guess so!

I haven’t been in work since before the bank holiday

Oh sorry, my mistake, I thought you said you were due in on Tuesday for some reason!

That's a really bad service. Clearly if you're feeling so desperate then you need help. Do you take medication for it?

I was, I just haven’t made it in :-(

Don’t really know what to do with myself, not coping at all and nowhere to go

I'm so sorry you're struggling like this at the moment. I wish I could help you get back on your feet.

Don't talk about anything you don't want to, but it sounded like something happened that triggered you into feeling like this. Do you normally take medication to help you?

Not really, I am struggling with my auto-immune condition which isn’t helping much but nothing triggered it

When I’m struggling it literally just changes like a switch and then I don’t cope anymore, mh services know this and they know to ramp up support quickly when I’m not coping but seem to forget this every time!

I have an autoimmune condition too, so can sympathise (MS). Chronic illness can be very hard 🤗

@Strugglingalone How are you doing? I’ve been thinking of you and hoping you're okay.

I was doing ok, but now really struggling this weekend! I hate how quickly my mood changes, feel completely out of control and there is no support to be accessed at a weekend

The urge to od is so strong, curled in a ball in tears, I don’t know what to do

Tried a support line and they didn’t get it, I really struggle to speak when I’m struggling the most

A+e is not an option, it doesn’t keep me safe or result in more help

I'm sorry to hear you are currently experiencing things feeling hard again after being much better for a while. If you are able to say, I'm interested in what changed for you back then? Did it happen in increments or suddenly, for example. Obviously please don't say more here than you feel comfortable with, I want to take an interest but not pry.

Weekends can be the worst when we feel like this. I know when it starts for me I have to get out of the house to try my mindset, but I know we are all different as regards distractions.
I hope you begin to feel ok very soon, you are not alone OP 💐

It’s literally like a switch, I’m ok then I’m not! Occasionally there will be a slight hint I’m going to decline but usually nothing at all, just goes without warning like it has this weekend

Really struggling not to act on my thoughts. Struggling sorry
