Not doing too well...

I'm really anxious about talking about things but I'm really not doing too good at the minute. I've relapsed today after so long not self harming, and I hate myself even more, and now I am really scared about somebody seeing it, I just want to get better, I just feel like I'm never gonna be okay.

Sorry for the pointless thread. I guess I just need to get things out of my head.

    Hey :)

    Really glad you felt able to post about this BananaMonkey, and it's totally okay for you to start a thread about how you're doing :yes:

    I'm sorry to hear you've relapsed - would you like to talk to us about what's going on at the moment?

    We're here for you :heart:

    I am in lots of pain physically, and I guess it's getting me down. I did the thing that I only know will actually help. :(

    Really tired.. I had about 4 hours sleep. My neck pain flared up really bad and it was 4am last time I saw the time. Had to be up at 6..

    Feeling fed up and sore

    I'm such a horrible person, I deserve all this pain that I do to myself. :'(

    Sending *hug* s , sorry things are really tough for you at the moment! I don't believe you are a horrible person :heart: but I know its easier for me to say it! I know myself its must easier to be horrible and negatives about ourselves, but it's important to know that its not you and be considerate that things are tough for you right now.

    Thank you Apandav.

    I just feel really lost and I have really bad thoughts like how easy it would be to just take all the pills and also how easy it would be to just self harm. I dont really see things getting any better. :'(

    I'm really trying but nothing I do is good enough. I just want to feel okay and happy. Yesterday I was okay. Then I got home and felt so low. Its just crappy how I have to rely on a pill to make me happy :(

    I just want to be normal.

    Nope cos I've decided I dont want it. I'm not to good at talking about things face to face.
  • Former MemberFormer Member :) Posts: 2,072 Boards Champion
    Ah okay thanks for explaining, is it just face to face- I am wondering as maybe you could arrange telephone therapy or counselling - would that be helpful?

    How are you feeling now?
  • Former MemberFormer Member Lyrical Poster Posts: 5,462 Part of The Furniture
    Thank you apandav for your reply. I don't think telephone counselling would work for me cos I get really bad phone anxiety, I can't even ring helplines.

    I'm feeling a bit better today- tired, been awake since 4am. But hopefully being back at work will give me the distraction. I always struggle on bank holidays/weekends as I don't always know what to do to keep myself busy and distracted, but work gives me things to focus on.

    Thanks again for caring :heart:

  • Former MemberFormer Member :) Posts: 2,072 Boards Champion
    I understand a lot of people struggle to talk on helplines. Glad your feeling even a bit better today :) hope you have a nice day!

    No problem, I wish I could help more :heart:

    Just a suggestion......have you looked at any self help resources online?
  • Former MemberFormer Member Lyrical Poster Posts: 5,462 Part of The Furniture
    Hi Apandav, sorry I havent replied back to you. Ive kind of not been in a very good way recently.

    I just dont want to be alive anymore. :'(
  • Former MemberFormer Member :) Posts: 2,072 Boards Champion
    Sending big *hug* s, sorry to hear things are extremely difficult.

    I'd really recommend PAPYRUS hopelineUK if you feel everything is too much, or even to discuss these feeling your having! If you need to you can always contact your doctor!

    Keep posting if you feel it helps :heart:
  • Former MemberFormer Member Lyrical Poster Posts: 5,462 Part of The Furniture
    Thank you Apandav, your support really does mean a lot. I'm feeling a bit brighter this morning, I am seeing my doctor on Thursday so I will speak to her. I just don't want to have to have my medication increased again.

    I'm just feeling down about being this way. :(

    I will be okay though :heart: I gotta be.

    I must have 'treat me like crap' on my forehead cos the way ive been spoken to has upset me so much. Considering we are meant to be friends.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Lyrical Poster Posts: 5,462 Part of The Furniture
    Never felt so hurt and betrayed by a friend in my life. Some people are so hurtful, I am so done with everything and everyone. :'(

    I am okay. Trying not to think about it. Just remembering how hurt I am feeling to be honest.

    Thanks for the kindness means a lot.

    A year today :(

    Feel so alone. Really is crappy when you really need somebody and theres nobody

    Hi BananaMonkey, I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling alone and that you need somebody. In your previous post you said that it's a year ago today. I hope your doing okay and just know that were are here for you on the forum if you would like to chat. How are you feeling this evening?
    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤
