Feel guilty but I don't understand

I used to talk about wanting to be in hospital and all this shit but I know it's not the fact of being in hospital but I feel like it's my thinking in a way like part of it is completely controlled - it's not me but I just wanted to be safe from that????? It's this or suicide but I don't get it and I feel so guilty

    Hi @spacedog I can hear you're really struggling at the moment and just want you to know we're here with you. You're so brave for reaching out and sharing with us, and you are definitely not alone in this. <3

    It's completely understandable to feel a bit confused but want to be safe, and by reaching out to a psychiatrist hopefully you'll get the right support :3 How are you feeling about what the psychiatrist said?

    Keep us updated, we're all here to listen and help where we can <3

    You're doing so well @spacedog. It's really difficult what you're going through and it can be so hard experiencing these feelings and not being able to make sense of them. I often hear how hard it is when you're in a place of getting support, often talking about things or reflecting on situations for the first time in a while so it can feel confusing at first as you're processing. It can also be really difficult to be in a hospital and it makes sense that you're not feeling like yourself. I'm not sure if that's why it's feeling confusing at the moment for you, but what's really good is you're talking about how you're feeling with us :)

    How have you been finding the support from the hospital and the psychiatrist?

    Let us know how you're feeling about what they've said to you about possible psychosis too. We're all here to listen and support you <3
    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 ❤
