im struggling so much atm with everything i have no support around me which is hard bc being by myself is so hard bc i have just been dumped to do things on my own. i know im a adult etc but its hard bc i struggle severely with my mental health and i have been told ‘your at risk to yourself’ etc by my old psychiatrist who has now left me on my own. i thought after everything i did to myself last week that i thought id get help but no i have just been left to just struggle and struggle. life is getting rly hard i dont feel comfortable msging shout bc they called police on me without me knowing on wednesday so idk. im safe etc but im just rly rly struggling. im trying to distract myself but its so hard it rly is 💔. i am failing so much i have nothing in life. ( im safe).

It sounds a lot to hear that from your psychiatrist and not feel able to message shout. You have been doing well to distract yourself, what kind of things have you been doing? We care about you here Eylah, sending hugs
sending lots of hugs
@eylah hey there,
First off I want to say I'm really glad you're safe and not in any danger. I find it really unfair that you keep looking for support only to feel disappointed or abandoned afterwards. You mentioned trying to distract yourself, what do you usually do during these distressing moments ? I'm sorry it feels like nobody cares, that's such an isolating and exhausting emotion to deal with. I hope that you can look at this post and any past ones you've done to look for the examples of the ways we do care about you and your situation here on community, because we definitely do.
How are you now?
my life i feel such a failure at everything bc i do nothing right or anything. im just a useless person on this earth .
I know that those feelings of worthlessness are so hard to combat and can feel super intense. I wonder if it's possible to acknowledge small victories as something that can contribute to your sense of self. Personally seeing how much you struggle (from what you've shared with us here) and knowing that you're still alive and trying despite how exhausting it is, I see that a victory. I've read online that if you're still alive while also being depressed then you're not struggling with depression, depression is struggling with you. It's corny but helps me from time to time. Right now your mind isn't being very kind or supportive, yet here you are still trying. That's huge even if it feels like nothing. You also don't have to do anything to earn a sense of worthiness. You exist, therefor you are worthy. I'm really proud of you keep going
