    What if it's just a complete mental breakdown waiting to happen

    I'm going to try ask my mental health team if going into hospital can at least be considered

    If you think hospital would help you @IainJammyboy, I think it's pretty brave to ask about it. Well done for knowing what you need and being willing to talk about it.

    Crisis team told me because I've waited this episode out before I can do it again - I can't do it again
    Also this seems like questionable logic! Is that literally what they said?

    @JustV No chance in hell am I ever going to get the support I need - the mental health team also told me that my mood stabilizer is also an antidepressant?????????? Just makes me feel like I'm overreacting - or even I'm just so jealous of people in hospital or whatnot, they can at least get the support I can't access or anything. They said because I had a history of overdosing a couple times they were scared I'll do it again but still won't offer any help???? I can't even shower properly anymore, haven't showered in a few days since this started a week ago

    @JustV and yeah that exactly what my crisis team said word for word lmao I told them about that it's on and off and everything else but they always just fuck me over
  • spacedogspacedog Posts: 1,192 Wise Owl
    Does anyone feel like nothing makes sense but that there's a meaning behind everything???? Idk I can't explain it maybe I just am crazy

    Hey that sounds rlly frustrating if ur not being listened to, I would deffo keep putting pressure on them to help u because u deserve to receive the help u need!

    Talked to my crisis team today, took into consideration everything I said and these weird psychotic symptoms - we talked about hospital, but they said it's something that has been considered and can be in the future, but because of the environment it's like it's not the best fit we think right now especially as we don't understand what it is that's wrong
  • spacedogspacedog Posts: 1,192 Wise Owl
    I feel like myself again just today
  • spacedogspacedog Posts: 1,192 Wise Owl
    I don't know how I feel at all

    Hi @IainJammyboy
    Just checking in to see how you are doing now? <3
  • spacedogspacedog Posts: 1,192 Wise Owl
    @Matthew_04 cheers - idk I'm still doing kinda bad, but it's like the more I think the worse it gets
  • spacedogspacedog Posts: 1,192 Wise Owl
    Feels like any past attempts or anything are completely invalidated cause I'm a guy
  • AnonymousToeAnonymousToe Posts: 2,380 Boards Champion
    @IainJammyboy you’re still human though and all your struggles should be valid. I’m so sorry society makes guys feel like that, it’s so crap :/
  • spacedogspacedog Posts: 1,192 Wise Owl
    @AnonymousToe I don't want to live like this
  • AnonymousToeAnonymousToe Posts: 2,380 Boards Champion
    Please keep going. You’ve been through so much, so all that can happen is for it to get better. I guess by reaching out on here you’re showing people that men need and deserve support, so you’re contributing to hopefully a change there.

    Why are hallucinations taken as such a big deal even if they're not immediately distressing?
  • spacedogspacedog Posts: 1,192 Wise Owl
    I'm terrified
  • spacedogspacedog Posts: 1,192 Wise Owl
    The more I talk about these hallucinations and people watching me the more it goes through my mind the more I convince myself it's real and I can't do anything
