Why Does It Hurt *Updated*

Pikl

I don't know where else to turn.

Had a therapy appointment yesterday, GP appointment tomorrow. I'm really hurting, but I can't tell anyone. The "S" word has consequences. I just can't say it, I cant cope with what might happen I'f I do.

It's ok, I don't expect any replies, I'm not after attention. I just needed somewhere I could be honest with myself.

Sorry.

*Thank you so much everyone for your kindness, you are all truly amazing people.

  • Hi Pikl,

    Sorry to hear about this I think that the fact you're having a GP appointment is a good thing. Make sure you are honest with them that's the best you can do.

    I do want to say this, even though I don't know you and that I've never met you and most likely never will.

    Do not underestimate your value to your self and the world/people around you. There are treatments, things and people that can help you get through this. Anti-depressents do work for a lot of people, its worth trying them there is no harm in trying them.

    If you do get really bad you owe it to your self to tell someone how you feel and explore ways you can help self before you take an irreversible step. Just see what you can do to help put your self together and use everything at your disposal, explore every possible option, even if that means just taking yourself to a hospital and tell them how you feel.

    You have an obligation to your self as a being of value, to look after yourself as best as you possibly can.

    I really, really don't want to make this about me so I will just say this... I've had a tough time recently being diagnosed with autism and having other issues but you and this forum has helped me even when I just read and don't get involved, and I think it's worth seeing "Pikl" pop up on the feed.

    I love reading your posts and replies and there is value and something to learn from what you have said and in what you will say in the future.

    Don't worry about posting on this forum everyone here wants what's best for you.

    Just take it day by day and be proud of your self that you can move from one day to the next you're moving it seems in the right direction by having a GP appointment tomorrow.

    I think I need an emotional painkiller 

  • in reply to Pikl

    Time for a deep breath, followed by a "reframing".

    1: You are home, warm and safe. 

    2: you don't actually have to DO anything at all. Although finding your happier place is a very good idea.

    3: Work is about money and social stuff, it isn't your entire life, even though there is immense external pressure for you to see things that way.

    4: You actually have many, many, choices how to move forwards, and not just the one unmentionable one. All you need to do is give yourself time to find a promising one. In such situations, when my conscious mind is failing me, I carefully put such choices on "the back burner" (which I believe to be another way of saying, "I hand the task off to the subconscious part of my mind") and either sleep, roll a decent joint (acts as an emotional painkiller) or engage in some displacement activity until I get some sort of idea what to do next.
