Negative thoughts what should I do

Former Member

My last relapse was in February. I went to the doctors  in January before it happend i knew i wasn't right  but no one phnd me back or anything. 

I've been haveing negative thoughts about myself for the last few weeks I've been writing them down but the thoughts r still there. I tried to confide in a friend but she just dismissed my feelings as if they were nothing.

Heyy welcome

Well done for seeing your go before. Takes a lot to notice and be self aware of when things are starting to go bad and takes a lot of courage  

im sorry to hear how your friend responded some people are just not that aware of how bad mental illness is for those who are suffering. Have you tried to confide to anyone else?  

Or have you thought about going back to speak with your gp? Sometimes gps are thinking it’s a sort term thing and leave it as that so you have to be persistent with them and keep saying I’m still feeling like this helppp. 

I’m glad you’re seeking help here though. Everyone’s lovely and all willing to help each other and listen

That sounds really tough @Past User negative thoughts are a huge problem for me too and I think are for a lot of people. It’s really hard to think positively about ourselves sometimes, and having someone tell you to “just think positively” or “stay positive” isn’t always the most helpful thing out there. 

Has anything helped you in the past when you’re having these thoughts? Writing them down sounds like a good thing, it gets them out of your head and can help you to avoid dwelling on them.

Is there anyone else you could speak to other than your friend?
