Abandoned

[Keon]

I got out of hospital last Monday after an attempt. I get told my psychologist, psychiatrist doesn’t want to see me anymore & My local private MH hospital want admit me anymore. Also my friend want have anything to do with me. I feel like I’ve lost everything & am being punished. Now is the time I need support but I’m getting the opposite.

Hello Keon, I'm really sorry for the situation you are in and want you to know that we will do the best we can to help you.

Sometimes people who we regard as being a friend decide they have no answers to how they can help us through this journey, so don't want anything else to do with us and disappear, that's no fault of yours, so please, you can't blame yourself.

Can I ask what your doctor has said and whether or not medication is involved as there are ways to give you the support you need, so I'll post this off and wait to hear back rom you.

I also hope others will contribute as well.

Take care.

Geoff.

Hi Geoff, it’s been a couple of days & my head has & is all confused & out of sorts.
Thank you for your reply. I’m just so not good. The feeling of loneliness & that no one cares is horrendous. I’m to blame & am so down on myself.
I’m on quite a bit of medications, mood stabilises & antidepressants etc. They weren’t involved in my attack. My GP has saved me the last week, seeing me every day. I see my psychiatrist on Wednesday & am expecting her rejection & termination of care. I thought that it was her job try & help me? Gonna be a long wait till then!

Thanks for your support & hope u are well. Keon

Hi Keon,

I hear you're in a bad place and thoughts spinning around your head don't help, and I would like to thank you for reaching out here - if I can help, I'll try my best.

Loneliness can take on many forms - people can be lonely in a huge family or even when partying and overindulging to cover their true feelings. Successful businessmen, actors, and musicians with thousands of fans also report such feelings of having no one who understands them, feeling cut off from genuine contact.

Then there are people who live quite solitary lives who never experience feelings of loneliness or the need for human interaction - the expression used is "I am alone, but not lonely".

So what's the formula? How do you process your feelings of loneliness? Why do you blame yourself for the attitudes of others?

If you would like to reflect on these things, I'd be happy to listen.

Regards,

t.

Hello Keon, if your psychiatrist decides that he no longer wants to see you, is not any fault of yours, perhaps it's not an area she doesn't particularly want to specialise in.

If your GP wanted to see you everyday, then that's something the psych. hasn't understood, and there is no reason why anybody should be counselled by a therapist who doesn't even want to know how they can help you.

Ask your doctor for another referral and if I can also say, that I had several psychologists and psychiatrists who had no inclination of wanting to help me.

It's like when you go fishing, sorry a silly recommendation or misnomer, but why does a person next to you always keep baiting the fish, while you get nothing?

Take care.

Geoff.
