Creating a system that works for you

aurelis

Hi,

I wanted to ask if anyone has systems in place, and whether they always had one that helped them to navigate through life, or they made one over time? How did you cope when unexpected life events happen?

I have felt lost for a while now, generally feeling disconnected from many things, and I think a big reason is because of masking, and a lack of systems in place. I am trying to work on this, with some help, so that I can have routines in place, and I can feel more grounded and stable than I do currently. 

It's really scary facing even friends, and not knowing properly the things I like or dislike, or what direction I am going in. I've tried to pretend that I have direction and I really don't. It's definitely a mask, and I want to feel that I am living a system that actually works for me and not what I think it should according to what I think should be a system to work with.

  • Things that help me are:

    1. Psychotherapy (for me long term support and stability, as in therapy, friend.or partner is quite essential),

    2. Some Chatbot to help retrieve information faster, or suggest resources,

    3. Citizen Advice Bureau, Home Shelter (Scotland). These both have online chats with an agent (a person).

    4. Access to CMHT (community mental health team) may help. I didn't access it yet, but it may be useful.

    5. As for friends, I find more connection here than elsewhere. I do have a few friends I email with, to avoid instant messaging but it is hard.

    I am happy to (try to) reply questions if you have any.
