depression sick of this life

[Guest_8790]

how I wish I could turn back time when I never felt down
and out. Sick of medication and not knowing what to do
with the remainder of my life. tried studying and now been
told not ready for placement due to my mental health.
also teacher indicatef cannit support someone for half
a hour when I get anxiety moment. that was so hurtful
ad it never took that long. also felt ashamed because she
indicated that care has to be made for other students.
I can understand that but I always left room discreetly
when felt overwhelmed and it was not every day either.
now course finishing two weeks and don't want to complete as
have to wait till next year for placement. feel teacher did
not understand how I felt as she is not a mental health worker.
feel like giving up.

upset confused angry yeah all that. not working have the indignity of
being on new start at my age as worked for 36 years.
where to from here?

Hi, welcome

95% of people wont understand

Google

Beyondblue Topic they just wont understand, why?

Teachers dividing time is difficult for them in a working environment that is sooo demanding. Hence their lack of ability to focus on one individual and also lack of tack.

We the mentally ill also are more sensitive than others

Google

Beyondblue Topic depression and sensitivity - a connection?

This sensitivity is also reflected in your feelings about being on Newstart. You are trying hard towards your goals, sensible people would not expect anything more of you. Be kind to yourself, we cant all be huge wage earners or young achievers.

Finally, things out of your control, is not worth worrying about.

Beyondblue Topic worry worry worry

Try to relax and be consistent with your efforts. And forgive the naive that dont mean to hurt. You'll be ok.

Hello Rusty girl..

I listened to your words and would like to say how sorry I am that your struggling so hard..

Myself personally I believe all teachers should have a course in mental health so they are more understanding of this debilitating illness....

People who don’t understand mh just doesn’t understand and don’t know what happens to us at times...They can hurt us but it’s really unintentional..So please try hard not to be down one yourself..You should be so proud of yourself for doing the course your doing...

I think that if you try to finish this year out that’s great..it’s only another two weeks...The time until your next placement next year would be a great time to use to try to get you all rested and help from professionals for your mental health...and hopefully you will be more stronger in your mh for next year....

Please don’t be down on yourself about being on Newstart..I went on Newstart 3 years ago at age 60 ...I felt awful but not indignant as I had worked all my life up until my sickness of mh found me..

You are doing a course and I find that should be something that you can be so proud of yourself for...

Wishing you all the best Rusty girl..and please sweety if you can and feel upmto it keep talking here..We care about you and want to try to be here to support you...

Kind thoughts and some caring hugs.🤗..

Hi Everyone, 

This thread is similar to another one that Rusty girl has posted, we're going to close this one off but ask that you continue supporting her over in her thread panic attacks.
