New here

Hello, 

im currently awaiting a diagnosis, im struggling daily and had an ambulance to me yesterday as I was feeling suicidal.

it was triggered by a confrontation in work and feeling attacked for who I am and the way I speak etc… I feel lost and lonely. 
I can’t go back but I also can’t afford to leave. Does anyone else ever get treated like an outcast?

  • Hello and welcome to the community, I hope you enjoy it here. I’m so sorry you have been feeling suicidal lately, are you feeling any better today? I’ve been feeling the same lately if I’m honest Sob I also feel your pain of feeling like an outcast too, I’ve always struggled to settle in wherever I go and always had some form of bullying but lately had something more serious. I’m currently not working at the moment due to poor mental health, would you be able to leave your current job and go to your local job centre for some sort of benefits whilst you recover? Do you have anyone who you can turn to at all? Take it easy ok x

  • Hello, thank you for your reply. I’m sorry you’re in the same situation too..

    I hope you’re getting some support. 
    unfortunately leaving until I find something new isn’t an option I bring in the income into the house. Crisis team have told me to go off sick for awhile rest recover and find something new, but I don’t know how to manage myself because I don’t really know what I’m dealing with until I’m diagnosis. I’m desperate right now x

  • Aww I’m so sorry, at least you can have sick leave for the time being. I understand about the income, it’s such a difficult situation Sob I hope the crisis team were supportive with you. The crisis team and A&E are useless where I am. I tend to text with shout but my phone been playing up for texts. Do you know how long the wait is for your assessment? 

    Must admit I’m not really getting any support at the moment, everyone I have seen has ended up saying they can’t help me and just drop me. I am looking into having a general assessment as we are suspecting complex ptsd and personality disorder. 

    For the time being do something that you enjoy and makes you feel happy and relaxed. You deserve to look after yourself x
