Two little known facts about #Mental Illness:
1. If someone else also has mental health problems, but you have a symptom or issue that they don't, that issue isn't a real one.
2. Mental health problems will always go away if they are inconvenient to someone else.
@aweebitblue All the 'one year ago I nearly died and now everything is wonderful!' make me feel worse. Then I feel like a bad selfish person for feeling jealous or whatever of people who got better. So then I feel worse for that too ๐
Current mood: Agitated, edgy, irritable. Hair annoying me, skin annoying me, all the animals annoying me, all sounds annoying me. Torn between desire to scream and run around, & to go to bed and hide. Yet yesterday? Fine. Why!!!??? What's the bloody difference from then to now?!
I was absolutely hysterical yesterday. The culmination of a 5 day slide into meltdown. A little more level headed today. But still as frustrated and confused
Fuck this life.
@erikapatt57 Lol this made me laugh because I've always said that if I'm a beautiful butterfly waiting to transform it would be the one from Bugs Life ๐
Has anyone ever successfully arranged counselling with agoraphobia & social phobia? The biggest problems I need professional help with are also the reasons I can't make the help work. Managed 2 appointments with Psychiatrist before shutting down and freaking out completely
Contradictions:
During sessions with a past psychiatric my younger self was told I couldn't describe myself as shy because she'd overheard me chatting to her secretary before my appointment. I am quite good at chatting to strangers. However I have no friends & few family in touch
@samizdat62 @KaJuN00 I hope you have a good experience. Law of averages it has to happen to someone at some point, right? But if not i hope someone else (real or on here) helps instead. I get more support on here than I've ever had elsewhere, despite the fact I disappear for months at a time. Hugs x
@erikapatt57 I always wish I could just jump into your pictures. There is a pond near me & on the few days I feel able to get there it is the closest to peaceful I ever feel. I love nature & the countryside but I'm stuck in a town hellhole. I swear one day I will run away.
How can I fix shoes on a day when I feel seconds from death? Can't feel that bad after all then can I. Must be making it up. Clearly I'm capable of trying harder really.
Contradictions.
And now I'm fixing a pair of shoes. Why? Because my daughter needs them for tomorrow. The daughter I've been avoiding all day because my mask is missing. Because I feel so so broken.
