So im guessing that's cause no one wants to hear disgusting stuff so willsupport less and reply less. I literally don't know what to do. No one understands.
I really want to die 😭😭😭😭😭
And Its a shame that when I ended up in A&e there wasn't a peer support worker with her. Probably because it was a weekend but peer support worker work in A&e s now for that. And PSW do not talk or look into diagnosis only do what they see. And never make assumptions from diagnosis like she did. & that's one reason why PSW exist cause they help the other health professionals understand better. So I should of told her that and to stop speaking about the symptoms of a diagnosis when I'm my own person
she told me i I should get a job as a peer support worker to distract myself. I think I'd be a mess and get very triggered if I did that right now tbh
I dont suppose you have your support workers email? It might help to sit down and write down the things that upset you about it, how and why it makes you feel dirty and how you're upset with yourself for not being able to talk about it. Having it all out there will help you know youre making progress, and will allow her to ask you important questions and support you appropriately. I think most of all that she just wants you to feel comfortable.
I doubt it helps to hear, but I dont think you're dirty at all. Just wish you felt better and got the help you need and deserve.
I did say I've heard probably all the ways to cope but she was still going on & on lol
But yeah maybe it's because she's read the referral and she doesn't want to speak about it either
Maybe you can ring her and ask for her email? Then you'll have a clear plan for what to do. Sit down, draft an email explaining all of these thoughts and ask if shed be able to accommodate what you need?
And Who would want to listen to the fact someone's been forced to pee on someone and He peed on me and then hear about how peeing affects everyday life. It's a bit of a fucked up convo to have I guess. & embarrasing for her aswell. And would make her feel cringe and disgusting so I guess no way out, 😭😭😭
You have my support x
As for the specifics of what's making you feel dirty - the peeing. I'll say it that it doesn't bother me, like it wouldn't bother any other reasonable adult. Anybody I had a duty of care to, like she has to you, I would want to be honest with me about whatever they're feeling so that we could find a way through it.
I have some more thoughts on it, you might not like them, but if you want to hear them then I'll be completely honest.
i could maybe write it then give it. I don’t know://. Two weeks time til see her next... cant see my self surviving that long.
I think face to face it's more harder to speak about that. Those words out loud sound more dirty.
& yeah can be honest. Maybe someone clarifying I'm dirty will help me feel less confused on if my thoughts are right or not. Unless you think I'm probs actually some 40 year old man liar with fetish of pee (someone told me that online before)
I think your feelings of being dirty are entirely your own, and that in saying other people will think the same about you, that you're projecting your own feelings on to them. The acts themselves and how they're affecting your life and the way you feel about yourself are significant of course. But I don't see the specifics of it, I see someone who was forced to do something they didn't want to and is struggling to cope with that abuse weighing on them.
Same as usual really, I just want you to feel better and I dont want you to have those kinds of thoughts about yourself. But I'm also aware that makes me a hypocrite, it's not easy to change how we've felt about ourselves for such a long time.
Really sorry to hear how much pain you're feeling at the moment but I'm glad you are still here and still talking. We honestly really care about you here and want to support you to feel better than you do at the moment.
Sending you hugs and support

im so sad. I wish could just say everything without fear of not being judged.
& i feel really fed up right cause I can't breath properly & feel like I'm getting used to not breath properly. But Tonight is v bad. I don't think is anxiety. Wish I wasn't breathing at all.
Literally just think every support I do have now will just go anyways even Samaritans have change how they support me over text cause I use too much. like who thought that was possible. I think I'm being annoying now and everyone's fed up of me and probably wishes I was dead too. Just a complete burden
literally struggling to breath constantly & it doesn't even feel like panic attacks. I think maybe it's stress and from my anxieties around daily things. Idek but I cant cope. My body feels dirty
Do you have any strategies for coping a bit easier with the anxiety attacks? X
Could you maybe try calling the doctors or 111 for advice? It's better to be sure x
I feel dirty normally would of had shower by nowbut hard to breath. But no point anyway . Doesn't help me feel clean. Am dirty inside
