• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Go in hos if you think it would help you. At this point, when the thoughts are bad yet feel normal, I think it would be best for you to go in. Of course, this is pot meeting kettle, isn't it?

My appointment with my NP was cancelled today, so no med switch or threat of hospitalization. I did pack a small tote yesterday though, just in case I had to go and so my parents would have something to grab to take to me. I'm still nervous, bc Jarrod is going to go with me to see my NP and will request that I be hospitalized for a med switch... I really don't want to go in, but maybe it's for the best? I don't know. I've been feeling a bit better since I talked with my T about it all, though.

We must've scared everyone else away...

hmm think it is a little bit of pot an keelte, but i know where your coming from, i'd probably tell all my mates if where in same position because they matter more than me. if i can just get through the weekend i'm ment 2 b seeing my psychologist on monday (havent seen him since walked out other week )

hope your app goes ok though, maybe its good Jarrod going with you because he can see things from an outsiders point of view and see things we cant.

i know sometimes just by telling someone how your feeling it can take that little edge of it, doesnt get rid f i but helps a bit.

hope everyones ok

I'm here! Soz I disappeared, went on a trip - eight hundred miles one way! - driving - and just got back tonight. Ick. Sad to see that no one else is posting! And I see that they have the number screen back up. Blah. I was enjoying actually being able to type out numbers and seeing them on the screen! - but I guess it's a good thing...

How are you doing, Katey? did you see your psych?

hey welcome back, sorry i did know you where away i just forgot did you hv good time.
wonder wher everyone is??

i did go and see him, not that i helped at all, i kept trying to tell him i was ok i was fine and yeah didnt believe me. we ended up talkin bout sum stuf i really really didnt want to talk about so left me even worse, and i ended up hurting myself. then my counciling ontuesday didn go well and everyone went into panick mode, so wednesday i stayed out of everyones way,apart from church in the evening i went to the group i run and then my cell group. which i am sort of glad i went to. it was really relaxd but i got a bit of a lecture (they werent nasty though, just caring and wrried)about my weigt loss, lack of eating. i kno they were trying to help but i didnt needit. luckil my friend Claire whose been my rock the past few weeks managedto change the subject, she could see i was getting upset. it was a good night though, then went for a drive and a chat with her afterwards. yesterda wasnt great at all and today i'm hidind away. not feeling great.


yeah i noticed the numbers thin to it probs is a good thing.

I'm sorry that things aren't great... I wish that something I could do would make them better, but I guess the best I can do is talk on here and pray?

Why don't you tell people that you're not fine?... bc I think that you know that you're not... but telling people IRL is a different thing, isn't it? It's okay to need help, everyone does, and it's okay to not be self reliant, no one is.

Pot, meet kettle. Kettle, meet pot. :o Dang, I am good at saying things that I know that I should act on. Hypocrite April. I'm sorry.

Getting home, well... it's nice to be back, but settling back into the old routine is doubtless going to bring everything back, and I don't feel like fighting the thoughts any more.

Hopefully this doesn't take days and days to show up!

Katey, I do believe that those around you are really concerned for you and only wanting to help. I know it's hard to accept it sometimes when you think you're doing better than you really are.

You're not being hypocritical April. If you were judging Katey that would be different, but not when you're giving advice and support. It helps us to hear ourselves give the advice to others that we ourselves need too. Sometimes just hearing the words helps I think. Are you doing better and how goes the tutoring?

Bec - are classes going any better and how are you doing? You worry me you know.

Ari, we haven't seen you in a bit. Where and how are you?

Kerin, great to see you. Also, thank you for the birthday message - I did get it, but haven't responded yet (obviously).

I got the week off tutoring, bc of the trip, but I'm dreading going back.

I'm... well, I don't know how I'm doing. I'm alive, that's a good thing, but otherwise I am pretty confused. Being away I was doing pretty well, but now that I'm back...

Bec, Ari, where are you two?

Awww I wish I could help... maybe you could busy yourself here online? have you ever heard of Recoveryourlife? (http://www.recoveryourlife.com) There are a lot of friendly people on there and very supportive and helpful as far as ED/SI/SUI issues go. I'm a member there and it's been useful to get opinions and support there.

Another yucky night. I'm getting a bit worried about them. :-S

What're your screennames on there, Bec & Katey? And Bec, I'm glad that you've found that the chat helps; I've never been on there actually, but the posting does although admittedly it can/does/will trigger. That's why I like CF a little better; also, here there are members over the age of twenty! (Okay, I exaggerate, but members over twenty are very infrequent at RYL.)

Facebook is a good distracter too. I used to spend heaps of time on there, then came back here; I seem to seesaw in between, can't stay busy at both places - go figure!

s to all.
