I have no energy anymore

Baileybasil — Mon, 20 Dec 2021 06:46:51 GMT

I have nothing to live for, my psychiatrist put me on another pill when I went in to complain about and change the medication I’m on. Now I’m all doped up and nothing is changing. My ex is sending me videos of her with other guys. I’m so sad. I told my gp I’m suicidal and all he said was lower my dose of medication and wait 4 weeks. No one cares. I’m alone. I have nothing.

Baileybasil, just run into your post.

I'm sorry that you are suffering from all of these 😞 the psychiatrist and the GP have to go through their heavy workload and it seems they couldn't feel you and know you very well.

I hope you may need to cut off the connection with your ex who seems doesn't do any help at the moment.

It's been five days I wonder how you going right now. All I can give you is a virtual hug. I hope everything could go smoother for you.

Take care

I don’t deal with it just dwell on my own. I’m at the end of my rope. This is the worst Christmas I’ve had to live through.

I don’t want to cut contact she was the only thing I had to look forward to when I woke up, now it’s nothing but pain and dreaming of death.

I literally have nothing going for me. No reason to keep going, nothing to be proud of. Just regret. Meds, doctors. Nothing helps.

Yes I have family but I’m too awkward I can’t even tell them I love them. I’m not even sure I do

Hi Bailey,

I'm very sorry to hear that you have to live through this. I can see your ex is the significant person in your heart, you still care much about her and it is overwhelming for you to go through this. For many people, Christmas is when they feel more vulnerable and emotional, is there anything that can make you feel better to spend this holiday? I hope you already sought professional support as Sophie put above. and like Sophia said, please share with us we are here to listen.

Hi Baileybasil,

I get that you don’t want to cut contact with your ex; but think about it this way, she is not interested in perusing a relationship with you. She has moved on and so should you. I get that it’s hard! I’ve been there too. But she isn’t looking out for your best interests. You have to step up and be responsible for you own feelings. If you feel hurt and betrayed, abandoned, you need to practice self care. It’s probably something you’ve never heard of? It means trying to think about how you want to be treated by other people. What you will and won’t take from people. But most importantly how you treat yourself. If you can’t be kind to yourself, how can you be kind to anyone else. Trust me. It all starts with you. Day by day; just plant small seeds of positive thoughts - and over time I promise you they will grow into something beautiful!
best wishes,

Ramblify

Hello Baileybasil, I am so sorry I didn't read your post and thoroughly apologise because I can definitely relate to your comment, but I don't want to take away how you are feeling but perhaps I need to quickly mention it, sorry for doing so.

Once my 25 year marriage ended my wife found someone to share a flat with, like you, it frustrated me, why so quickly and why with a person much older than her, but she was the one who initiated the divorce and there was no point criticising her because she had left and divorced me, different to the situation you're in, but how you are feeling is exactly how I was.

To see any videos or photos of her with other people is not what you want to see, it only highlights what you shouldn't see and could be doing this to annoy you, block them, the more you see them the more upset you'll become.

No medication can replace a lost g/friend, it may help to be consoled by friends/family and these people will understand how difficult it is for you and definitely be gentle with you.

I feel for you so much and hope you let us support you.

My best.

Geoff.

She was the only thing keeping me going now I have nothing.

Positive self talk doesn’t work for me, it feels so wrong and I stop myself.

I can’t see a psychologist until march I honestly don’t think I’ll make it. There’s nothing in my life worth living for

Hey baileybasil

Positive self talk is not for everyone and finding a psychologist doesn't work for many.., it is hard to find a good one, or one that is affordable or without a waiting list.

Some ppl feel more suicidal on certain medications, also sometimes lowering a dose too suddenly can cause this reaction. How frequently do u see the psychiatrist?

I'm a believer that meds only do so much...

I'm pretty wary of the medical model of mh, at times it is very cold and clinical. Do if right before Xmas u tell Ur gp how u feel, which was so brave, and u are dismissed. This is not what we call a person centred approach. What support do u need from the health system? If Ur psych and gp aren't giving good care, maybe we could brainstor, what supports would be more helpful for u....

It's not Ur fault, and it sounds like Ur gp was insensitive.

Take care

I only saw the psychiatrist for one session, I don’t know why they always give me general anxiety disorder and nothing more serious when anxiety is the most crippling part of my life.

I don’t have any supports around me, nothing to smile about or look forward to. All I do is wake up and waste time til the next day

Hi BaileyBasil,

I don't have supports either.

I think psychs need to monitor the medication, are able to contact them between sessions or the psych triage if u feel the meds are making u suicidal.

I'm sorry u don't have any supports. It can be really hard to get support and find ppl who care.

From my limited experience, a lot of ppl aren't very sensitive about mental health or trauma.

Baileybasil — Sun, 26 Dec 2021 10:06:06 GMT

The medication I’m on doesn’t seem to do anything, I have only been on them for like 2 weeks now.

I don’t think there’s any point in trying to contact my doctors regarding the meds seeing as though they don’t care.

Going on meds was a last resort for me, the last attempt I had to get better, and now I’m going through trial and error while my life gets even worse around me, I just want it to work.

My psychiatrist diagnosed me with “canabis use disorder” like what? And he said to stop smoking and just try the pills but nothing else works, the pills don’t work

Guest_1643 — Sun, 26 Dec 2021 10:15:17 GMT

Hi, how do u know they don't care ? Triage can also help.

Re meds being a last resort...I know what u mean. For me trying hospital was a last resort, and it did help.I

Baileybasil — Sun, 26 Dec 2021 10:26:02 GMT

Sorry what’s a triage?

I know because even though I expressed I’m actively wishing for death, I was told to just stick it out

I’m afraid of being put on watch and of all the stress that goes with it if I did go to the hospital

Sophie_M — Sun, 26 Dec 2021 10:48:19 GMT

Dear Baileybasil,

We can hear that you are feeling quite distressed and that you understandably want your medications to work. It must be awful for you to think that these health professionals do not care for you.

Please do not hesitate to contact our counsellors on 1300 22 4636 for some confidential support. We are here to support you.

Please continue to post as you see fit. We hope posting here and receiving community supports brings you some solace.

Hi baileybasil,

No problem . So every public hospital has a 24 hour phone line called psych triage or the CATT Team, they are a team of trained Mental health staff including nurses who can provide over the phone assessment for suicidlaity.

They mostly don't put u on watch or hospitalise u, but they can give e u the options which one of them may be to come in

They can also dispense meds jn an emergency eg give u something sedative or calming or keep u overnight in a safe cubicle or room,

I've been in, spoken to them on the phone and they helped me tonnes.

Which suburb u live in determines which triage u contact, ie which public hospital team. But I believe in an emergency, if u show up in person the team will see ppl from anywhere.

Some triage phone operators are really worldly, nice ppl who just listen. They've seen it all.

Baileybasil — Sun, 26 Dec 2021 11:51:24 GMT

My anxiety is too much to talk on the phone 😞 I won’t even call my bank now that my mobile banking is messed up

I don’t let myself have options, I think I like being this way idk

If my anxiety was gone everything would fall into place
