Tired

[Truetomyself]

At the moment I feel really tired and exhausted from my anxiety that is now impacting my depression.
I am also tired of having to hide it. Especially with work.
I can't afford to loose my job but I can't say what's really going on.
I am scared and unsure of what to do. I have lost jobs because of my mental health being so up and down.
I have no one to talk about it to.

I can hear that you are struggling Truetomyself………. Hang in there

You need to make them listen……….. go back to your doctor and tell them … “you are not leaving their room until they help you” Tell them what you just told me……

write it down on a piece of paper if you have to… and give it to them…..

If your doctor doesn’t listen see a new doctor…….

let me know how you go….. we will get through this together….. I’m here to support you…… I know you can do this……

Truetomyself, do you feel we are listening to you on this forum? It’s okay to be honest...

You are exhausted. You’ve said you need help but that you don’t like to ask for help. Petal is right - the doctors/anyone you talk to can’t help if you don’t tell them what’s going on like you told us. If it’s a matter of speaking the words maybe a letter could help as suggested...

what did the doctor do last time, any of the following: medication? Referral to a psychologist?

I spent time in hospital. I have a social worker helping. I couldn't do it on my own anymore. I am now in a place away from my parent's. Meds were changed and now I feel more positive. I am glad I called triple 0.

Hi TTM

ditto to what petal said- good on you for seeking help. I hope your social worker is good, and that between him/her and the forums you get support. I look forward to hearing from you - I know that with depression and especially the disregard for your feelings that your parents give you, it is hard to get the motivation to post to forums; but if you can, we would love to hear from you and be someone in your life and help in any way we can....

I get frightened and scared. I cry a lot from this. I don't like it. Is this normal?

[Petal22]

Hi Truetomyself,

How are you going?

How is the new place you are living in? Is your social worker nice?

I think you are such an amazing person and have come so far……. Things will get better….

Are you seeing a psychologist?

😊🦋

[Truetomyself]

I am okay. I just cry a lot. It gets lonely. But I am trying. My new place is good. I am just seeing a psychiatrist and my social worker is nice.

Hi Truetomyself,

I understand it must be difficult for you when you are feeling lonely…….. is there other people that live with you or near you? I’m glad your social worker is nice…. Maybe you could have a chat to her about the loneliness you feel………

Im glad you are seeing a psychiatrist…. That’s great 😊

Things will keep improving for you Truetomyself just keep talking and moving forward you have come so far and should be so proud of yourself….
