Best Of

Throughout my days of feeling hopeless in response to not being able to get medicated for my panic attacks, I suddenly remember a coworker recommending I try CBD.

So I came up with a “I need to purchase my cream for my medical issues, can you drop me off at the pharmacy 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺” white lie and managed to purchase myself healthspan CBD oil. I’m hoping it will actually do something so then I could stop being a little bitch at work. Otherwise I’m fucked

@bignosegirly0 i understand the need to get something to work, but it's always best to just check with a gp or the pharmacist about using it, just to be on the safe side about any side effects and to check if it effects any medications your already on possibly, as a recommendation from a co-worker may not be the most sound medical advice. I hope it can make things a little more manageable for you. And you aren't being "a little bitch" at work. You're struggling, in a hostile workplace, whilst battling with a mental health battle, whilst having an unsupportive family. There is nothing weak about having panic attacks in that situation at all.

Same, I know you only returned to college last month too Toffuna, it can take a while to adjust to the routine of getting up early, its common to struggle and all that. Im currently doing a course and struggling to get up as we speak. Especially in the autumn and winter, that can make it harder.

yeah true, i hate it when i wake up and its still dark outside.

Understandable like that's demotivating

part of me wishes that i documented my psychiatric hospital stay to then look back at it and see how much progress ive made but at the same time i was really unwell so i wasnt able to. when i was in the general hospital in a ward i had this pink notebook where i could draw and write stuff down but i left it behind when i was transported to the psychiatric hospital. looking back at it now it was probably best to leave it behind because i left some confusing words and images due to my mental state.

@toffuna101 it's okay to want to look and see how far you've come and what you've achieved. It's truly incredible stuff and you should be proud of it. If it really is something that you want to see, they usually document everything in your medical records, so that might be worth looking at.

wishing you all the best @River - you are an amazing part of the community and you've helped so many people. we will all definitely miss you

Take care @River I know we haven’t really talked for ages but I’ll miss you. Thank you for being here, and I hope things get better for you 💜

As long as you’re in the UK and in our age remit 😂😂
This is why people are leaving 😂

@Redemption First of all, don't ever say sorry for posting and venting. It is your right to be able to come on here and do that. Even whilst getting used to other services. It's not a case of you can only use one at a time, and stop using the other for a while. It's better to use both, and steadily get more and more used to the other one over time, and still be able to lean here for support when you need it.

so, your family might not care enough to look at what you're doing to better your situation, but we all see it on here redemption. All the effort your putting in, all the interviews you've done, all the courses you've gone on to get closer to employment, the volunteering, and all the heartache from not being able to overcome the stigma of one opportunity overnight, which is impossible to do really btw in such a short space of time. We all see it, and we know your trying, and you'll always get credit for that here. And if your family wants to ignore all that, there isn't anything you can do to make them see reason, so the only other thing to do is ignore the bullshit they come out with around it, and try and reassure yourself of those points and the fact that you know you are trying your very best. I know it's no consolation, and it's awful to be going through that, but that's all i can suggest.
