Something’s not right

Contemplating leaving the forums

Re: Contemplating leaving the forums

@Dreamy I am glad the forums exist. Don’t get me wrong, I found it helpful talking to the peer support worker yesterday.

@tyme I don’t know how to talk about the pain while being “recovery oriented”, it’s like every time I try, it’s not okay.

Re: Contemplating leaving the forums

@creative_writer talking to the peer support workers is always helpful. I too struggle to keep my posts recovery focused so you are not alone there. 

Re: Contemplating leaving the forums

We are happy to guide you @creative_writer . Take your time.

Re: Contemplating leaving the forums

@creative_writer why not share what's on your mind and how you are feeling (if you are comfortable doing so).  Then we can see how we can help with the recovery focused side of things together? 

Re: Contemplating leaving the forums

@Dreamy I feel like I don’t even know what I’m saying. I’m overwhelmed. Even though today has been shit. I think I’m going to comfort eat dark chocolate to help me feel better.

@tyme awesome. What was different about my posts yesterday compared to today. Were they more recovery-oriented?

Re: Contemplating leaving the forums

Oh I'm sorry you feel things have changed @creative_writer . I have not noticed that, but of course everyone's experience is different. 

Every post is not always recovery focused, but a response usually is and then you can pick up and discuss that response

Re: Contemplating leaving the forums

@Dreamy I’ve been having SI today, took a PRN to settle it. Can’t say it’s completely gone, but mind is clearer, I think the effects settled in now, thankfully. It took a while. I’ve been struggling with bipolar mixed episode, I don’t think the episode is fully controlled yet, but I am going to see my pdoc tommorow

Re: Contemplating leaving the forums

@Till23 I was at the peak of distress when I posted earlier today on a different thread. Unless some of my posts aren’t as recovery-oriented, and the others are

Re: Contemplating leaving the forums

@creative_writer it's ok, we will always be here for you. Nothing wrong with eating some chocolate for comfort 😋

 

Take a breath and know that you won't feel this way forever. I know it's hard to sit with right now but we are right here sitting with you ❤️ 

Re: Contemplating leaving the forums

@creative_writer oh sweet you are completely not alone with that SI, today has been a battle for that myself. I'm glad your mind is a bit clearer and things have settled a bit now. That can be really hard to sit with the mixed episode so it's great that you have an appointment with your pdoc tomorrow.
