i haven’t managed to get round to making this post until now bc everything has been up in the air n ive just not had the energy to explain my feelings atm :/.
been in n out of hospital due to my health but im better now. but many know bc of when my mum passed away n bc of how they have treated me bc of my mh i rly dislike that hospital. but when i was there all i could think abt is my mum :/.
ive been going to my drs rly frequently bc she’s been wanting to try n help me with my mh health n to support me too. she has requested a mdt meeting is held but im not sure what that is? but its to get me support which is gd.
ive been feeling rly awful in myself. of course me n my bf broke up n ive been feeling heartbroken bc of that. bc i still feel like noone can love me bc why would they? im not someone who ppl would ever like :/.
im trying my best every day. i try getting up having a shower. eating meals etc. but i rly have fuck all energy to do anything. but im trying every despite how hard it is for me atm.
im so sry for writing a rly useless n long post. just needed to get everything of my chest.
also wanted to share that ive found a new supportline. it’s called take back your mind uk. you can contact them through webchat or call. but they’re so lovely. best helpline I’ve used! you can also have booked sessions with them to. just have to book it on their website.
think they’re open 7am-10pm ( i think ).

Hi @eylah thanks for sharing all this. It sounds like you've been going through a lot lately, and you're right, it does take a lot of energy to put into words what you're going through and how you're feeling. I've seen how wonderfully supportive you've been in this community, and you absolutely deserve support too.
You've taken a great step in reaching out to that new support line - it's wonderful that you're finding it supportive too. How are you feeling about the MDT meeting?
aw thankyou so much <3. i am nervous bc i am wanting help n my dr can see i need help from professionals so im hoping i can get help! but who knows. will have 2 wait n see. just feel like i don’t deserve any help or anything bc ive been told that n last week was told im ‘begging’ for attention when im not.. its just hard. hopefully 🤞🏼 positive news comes from this meeting.
Hi @eylah , how are you doing? Thank you so much for making this post and for taking the time to share what's been happening lately. Having to return back to that same hospital sounds like it might have felt very triggering, and I really hear how your mum was on your mind so much when you were there. What kind of feelings were coming up for you, if you feel comfortable to share?
Navigating this on top of your recent break-up also sounds really difficult, Eylah, and I hear how there's part of you that's afraid maybe you won't find love again or be loved in that way. That sounds like a really upsetting worry, and that part of you deserves so much space and kindness and understanding right now. I wonder what taking care of yourself has looked like lately as you process this break-up, and whether there's been anything or anyone that's helped bring comfort?
You mentioned a possible mdt meeting, and feeling a bit unsure about what that could mean and what will happen next. I also hear how its uncomfortable to be pursuing this support when you're battling that worry about not deserving support or past memories of being told you're 'begging for attention'. That sounds hurtful, Eylah, and every human is deserving of attention, care, and support. We're social creatures! If helpful, an MDT (Multi-Disciplinary Team) mental health meeting is a structured, regular gathering of diverse healthcare professionals, such as psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, social workers, and occupational therapists, who might collaborate to create, review, or adjust care plans for a patient's needs. What did the doctor say the next steps would be?
