Really anxious :(

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
Really anxious about everything atm, i'm really pleased that i'm being given a lot of support now and hopefully that will prevent me going back into hospital but I can't help being anxious about it all. I'm really anxious because i've got a crisis team assessment on Monday and the last time I had one of those I was admitted. I'm anxious nothing will or can ever help me. I'm anxious i'll end up back in hospital. I'm anxious about seeing a psychologist. I'm anxious about meeting my new support worker. I'm anxious for the future. I'm anxious about if I go under home treatment and especially anxious about seeing another psychiatrist I'm hoping I can refuse to see a psychiatrist and i'm anxious about going into supported housing and i'm anxious that my doctor is probably sick of me and i'm worried i'll book another appt and she wont want to see me just so anxious it's silly and I am really appreciative of the help being offered but i'm also really worried about it all sorry if i'm being silly :(

    Hey,

    It seems like you have lots going on at the minute, it's good that you are getting the support though. I understand that you may be worried about seeing the crisis team for that assessment, cos sometimes when something happens that we don't like from something, then when something happens that is similar we think we may get the same outcome, I hope that makes some sense. So what I mean you may associate the crisis team with being admitted to hospital, but this time it may be different.

    It's normal to be worried when you are meeting somebody new, so try not to worry to much about it, do you have anybody you can talk to about all your worries?

    Doctors can't get sick of you, they have a duty of care and it is their job role.

    Keep us posted on how your doing.

    Sorry my reply isn't that great, I have been trying to word it in my head for like 10 minutes and it still doesn't make sense.

    :yes: I agree with everything *BananaMonkey* has said.

    It's completely understandable that you feel so anxious with everything, you have a lot going on. I know it's hard but try and remember that, mostly, nothing is ever as scary as you think it is going to be.

    We had an expert chat on anxiety and panic attacks a few months back. Maybe you could have a read at some point:

    You just need to be completely honest. Whatever happens will be to help you, people care and they want to help. You can do this.

    Maybe you could write down some positives? What you want your life to be like, what you want to do in the future, good things, happy things. Keep looking at that list, and realise the help you are getting will help you to, one day, achieve all of that.

    You're not being silly at all, I understand why this is all making you panic.

    I know it's a lot, and I know it's a scary thought, but try and remember all of this is to help you. Do you want to ever feel happier? Maybe you could try, and if you don't like it or it's still so scary, then you can give all of the help up, if that's the way you feel.

    Thanks for understanding yeah I guess you're right I could refuse the things I really cant do but I will try to engage as much as I can and hope for the best. I just hope I get someone nice seeing me tomorrow and that I don't see the doctor for a few days :/ yeah I do want to feel better just feel so hopeless.

    You can do it, remember usually it's no way near as scary as you think it will be.

    Just try to focus on your breathing. Lie down, put one hand on your stomach and one hand on your chest, notice your breathing, what it feels like, how it enters and leaves your body.

    Thanks. Not gotta do it now thank God. I discharged myself. Oh well guess that means I've got to kill myself.

    Why do you feel like you've got to kill yourself?

    Discharging yourself is not bad, or weak, and I still think you're brave for even trying.

    I think we should try and find some positive coping methods for you.

    I didn't even give it a chance though. I don't see a way forward now. Only killing myself. :'(

    It doesn't matter that you didn't go through with the help, you tried and that's the most important thing.

    There is definitely a way forward, there always is.

    Tell me what you enjoy doing, what makes you happy?

    I didn't even try though I cancelled the appt and discharged myself over the phone. My doctor and cmht are gonna hate me. Guess I've been given too many chances and I should just kill myself. I'm a horrible person. I don't enjoy anything anymore. I feel nothing. And thank you xx

    Called out of hours to say i'd changed my mind again I will try and engage and I explained that I just panicked they said the crisis team will give me a call tomorrow and hopefully sort something out. I'm not sure if they'll want to or whether they'll bother with me now. They'll probably see it as me messing them around. I really haven't meant it. I just really panicked. Since speaking to my doctor earlier I feel a bit better about it and I need to do what she says so I am really trying to push myself I just hope it isn't too late and that they'll still put me back under home treatment :/

    Well done! That's such a brave thing to do, and I think you've made a sensible decision.

    I'm sure everything will be okay if you've explained. Keep us posted :)

    Ah thanks. I was an idiot for cancelling and discharging myself in the first place but I just couldn't help it I panicked so much. It definitely helped to speak to my doctor earlier though she has made me realise. I'm not sure how to explain to them though? They probably would rather me kill myself now :/

    Nobody would rather you kill yourself at all.

    People care and want to help you. You can do this, you're clearly brave.

    Try not to be too hard on yourself.
