Bit of a vent? ⚠️ TW ⚠️

I had a really rough night last night and my boyfriend told me that we should make a doctors appointment, but the thing is- I can't? The last time I told a doctor that I felt suicidal and had actually considered taking my own life because the thoughts get so bad sometimes, he said I didn't "sound suicidal". I use a more happy (?) sounding voice on the phone and it makes me so angry because I can't control it and it leads to people completely misunderstanding me. I'm not really sure where to turn considering loads of people have brushed me off over the past two years.

    Hello @ririsss i’m sorry you feel this way I imagine it’s not a very nice feeling when people don’t understand you and get your point of view on things. What if you book the appointment and go physically into the doctors and explain everything to them and explain to them your really not okay? I hope you feel better soon we are here for you anytime 🩵

    Hey @ririsss, I can understand how that you make you feel angry. You deserve to be heard and understood, irrespective of how you sound - the content is important too! I'd still suggest speaking to a doctor, because they can discuss what your support options are. I like @_Tech_Addict_Girl's suggestion of explaining the situation, providing that context helps to ensure you're both on the same page. Sending hugs <3
