aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh

Tonight I have upset a dear friend cos she asked if I was 'still feeling suicidal'. so I said yes, but not quite so bad as before. She then said she didnt understand how the health system could let me go feeling this way, but we all know it is crap, so I made a joke - ok a sick joke, but at my expnese. But now I ahve really upset her.

This has happened before. People say to ring them if I feel bad, but really they dont know what ot say.

It is such a lonely plasce mental health

But that's okay. If you were good at it you might not need a therapist

NASWM, I so know where you are coming from, you do know me but I have recently changed my name.

I so hate it when friends ay tell me about it! You pluck up courage and then they seem to blow you out!

Take care my dear, i follow your posts although I do not STALK - honest!

I so think of you!

naswm · 06/06/2008 23:08

oh wow katie - give me a clue HUG
I am a bit drunk and cant work it out who you are

PeedOffandPg · 06/06/2008 23:09

It doesnt help that you have these continued pressures either. Do you have other outlets through which you can vent ie helplines or a blog?

A really useful site I found was enotalone. Loads of nice people and practical advice rather than just platitudes.

I found it reassuring to know people have been through similar stuff and it really helped me at v bad time in my life two years ago.

Sorry I have to go as DD is waking up. Keep posting and if you want to vent you can email me at [email protected].

She did acknowledge it before, whether she will or not now is another matter. I sent her a ridiculously long email basically saying everything about how I felt at the weekend and she sent me a reply saying thank you and we would discuss at my sesssion on Thursday this week....

Scared now

and lonely

and isolated

PeedOffandPg · 09/06/2008 22:26

Sorry hadnt seen this before i replied.
Please dont worry - she is behaving correctly by doing this. The session is a place for you to feel safe and that's why she wants to discuss it then.
