Something’s not right

Feeling lost and depressed

Re: Feeling lost and depressed

Hi @Fluttershy1 

 

Losing your voluntary job has to be so hard - I lost one in the past - it was a bitter pill indeed.

 

Now I know it was someone else with an issue with me and not by business actually - nevertheless I felt very hurt at the time - and hopefully you will feel better about yourself in time too. That is my honest wish - prayer even.

 

And you are good enough - we welcome you here - it's true I haven't posted much lately - I do read a lot though.

 

So - as I try and say something helpful - all our feelings are valid even when they are not sound - now what does that mean?

 

What we feel is real - humiliation - redundancy - hearing other people's criticism - which is not our business but it would be polite for other people to keep it to them to themselves. The way we feel about such issues is an unpleasant reality.

 

It's not the truth though - whatever other people think or say is only their truth - not yours - not ours.

 

Try and feel okay about yourself - try and make a habit of feeling okay - while it's okay to be not okay sometimes - it's better to feel better when you can.

 

Caring heaps

Hi @outlander @Owlunar @Jacques @Shaz51 @Snowie @Zoe7 @Eve7 @Jynx @tyme @Meowmy @Oaktree @Lee82 @Appleblossom @Bunniekins @MDT  - it’s a up and down roller coaster I’m tired of riding it. My moods are so unstable, the physiatrist said they can do nothing to help me which made me feel worse they invalidated me and my BPD and said it won’t help me when it will, they didn’t change my meds, they just pushed me off like I was nothing. They are discharging me in the next week because they can’t help me and no treatment will help my Bpd, they stigmatised my BPD so much! 

Re: Feeling lost and depressed

@Fluttershy1 hello Fluttershy, sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. It must be very scary, lonely and frustrating. Hope you might find some comfort in something around the mental care system. It's so hard for you. 

Re: Feeling lost and depressed

@Fluttershy1 that is so rough, I'm sorry that you had such a difficult experience. It's so hard to feel so invalidated. Are you doing anything for self-care tonight? 

Re: Feeling lost and depressed

@Meowmy - they won’t keep me long, I’m in the to hard basket.

Cuddling Romeo @Jynx - just wanna hide away, nothing is going my way. Playing my switch maybe, I feel not good enough

Re: Feeling lost and depressed

Cuddles is always good @Fluttershy1 and I hope playing some games helps take your mind off things. You are definitely good enough, and no one ever gets to tell you otherwise - no one else gets to decide your worth. 

Re: Feeling lost and depressed

Your right @Jynx - I guess I was overthinking. 

Re: Feeling lost and depressed

@Fluttershy1 we've all been there hey. Hope tomorrow is a better day for you hun 💜
