Feel like Im coming up to a total meltdown, trying not to let things get to me but cognitively im struggling with even being verbal with people. Mental health team didnt return my call. Tried talking to a friend she replied 'you should try being me in my life'. Im so sick of paddling flat out just to keep my head above water. NO plans to end this misery so dont want to worry anyone. Feel like such a failure and nothing people are saying is helping at mo may try distraction. All I want to do is cry.
I'm so sorry to hear you're struggling. I really hate the build-up to a meltdown. Your friend's comment isn't helpful - life isn't a competition, so I'm not sure why she felt the need to suggest her life is harder than yours. We all go through our own challenges.
Having a cry can be helpful sometimes. If you can get yourself somewhere comfortable and try to do something relaxing (e.g. watching a film you love or reading a good book), that might help you feel a little better.
Like RSxo said, we're all here for you.
Thank you so much for your reply. Im distracting myself at mo until I feel a bit more recharged and ready to fight again. So glad I have here xxxx
Hope you're feeling a little better xxxx
