    The steps you take don’t need to be big, they just need to take you in the right direction.

    When your local A&E has changed their system and you now have to book an appointment to be seen by ringing 111 and they are turning people away at the doors...
    One of the comments on the news article is from a girl who rang 111 for mental health crisis and she was told to manage at home.
    This completely puts me off the whole idea of going to a&e in crisis.. something my doctor and I agreed I should do.

    I'm not in crisis by the way. I'm just angry that a&e are turning people away if they don't have an appointment slot

    I have had a headache all day 
  • independent_independent_ Community Champion Posts: 8,610 Legendary Poster
    Could more things possibly go wrong in one day. Having to self isolate because mum has covid symptoms. One of my sisters is being an arse and won’t come home to isolate. And I just found out that the other (who doesn’t live with is so not isolating) has been in a car accident (minor, but still going to A&E).

    I'm not in a good place physically or mentally and I just feel like people constantly trying to upset me at the moment. Everyone is mad at me because I'm self isolating and taking a covid test but it's not my fault? Illnesses spread and just happen..

    Just sat crying. Had enough.

    I’m feeling really really Bad
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Today had been a sad day for me. I want to feel better. 

    I will not fit other people's narrative of how they want me to be.i am allowed to have my own desires outside of people's expectations.

    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    The BPD part of me wants to use this as an opportunity to fuck up. What happened the other day was just the final straw. I have been in this position before when I've been lower down the crisis scale and still self-harmed. I'm not even sure what I want. Me not reaching out will only make things worse and hurt me in the long term and I guess it's just another way to cause harm. I'm finding it difficult trying to work out if the way I'm feeling is warranted. I know deep down that I want to explode and just destroy myself but I can't because I'm stuck in this house. I don't want to take my medication and the only person I want to speak to is on annual leave.

    Having that sort of. Really shitty anxiety come down after a difficult day. Where it’s like the adrenaline drop but you’re still anxious because you can’t not think about the stressy thing.
