I really appreciate it, @Animalloverb I just got to keep going and hopefully it will come soon. It will happen but just a matter if when, its really hard not knowing and everything

Thank you for letting us know you're safe too. I'm hearing you're feeling fed up recently and like things aren't going right. Do you feel comfortable sharing what else has been going on for you River?
In terms of other things I just give up with recovery I’m never going to get better, the doctors had the mdt meeting yesterday and they have decided a stupid lifestyle course will help me 💀 so let’s obviously just ignore the CPTSD, BPD, autism, adhd and DID and insomnia because apparently a lifestyle course is gonna do so much. So I hope you understand my frustration in the doctors not giving a shit. I have an appointment on the 11th the monthly ones I have because of course that’s the only help I need apparently
I’m sorry

It sounds really frustrating that despite you reaching out for support, you're being let down by the doctors. You're right that you did an incredible job engaging in getting support because it isn't easy admitting to ourselves when we need help. What kind of lifestyle course did they suggest?
Did they say anything about the CPTSD, BPS, Autism, ADHD, DID or Insomnia? It's definitely understandable feeling frustrated that they're not listening or giving you the support you deserve. You also don't need to apologise River. How you're feeling is so valid and you deserve a space to talk about it. We're right here with you
I just don’t have the energy to try anymore, if I end up keeping the appointment I’m just gonna tell them I’m fine because what they gonna do at the end of the day. I actually thought I was getting somewhere but nah I’m not fixable

We are here @eylah Im sorry they weren't helpful
I agree @eylah its ok to prioritise yourself ❤️
I'm also hearing that maybe you feel like you need to be fixed and I'm wondering if this is because you feel like you're broken or different to everyone else? It sounds to me that rather than being fixed, you just need and deserve to be seen, feel heard, and given the tools to support yourself. How does this sound River?
You're also right that you're not their therapist, and it's okay to set boundaries. Being there as a friend is one thing. But there's a reason why dedicated crisis services require a lot of training and supervision to work on: it's difficult and requires a lot of support to do long-term.
We have a post about how you can set boundaries with a friend and there's a specific section of it which may feel helpful for you. I'll pop it down below
Also @eylah I hope I don't come across like this, maybe a bit too much treating you like you're a therapist, I know I vent a bit to you so hope uts not too much for you
im fine with you venting to me and needing support. it’s tiring to support my other friend bc its constant and i dont get a break from it nor does she appreciate everything im doing for her. it seems like no matter what i do its not gd enough. im fine with supporting you guys bc you appreciate everything i do for you all.
thankyou katie i appreciate this. it’s hard to set boundaries with this girl bc if i take a step back or if i don’t support her things would go sour pretty quickly and it’s rly hard circumstances so i can’t set boundaries. thankyou though it’s just rly complicated.
My sister is also blaming me about my oma having cancer saying that I jinxed it and manifested it all because I had camhs yesterday morning and i said id spoken about how we have had too much loss and rhat i didnt want anymore and like even tho i know it physically cant be my fault it still hurts coming from my sister
