I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...

Wow, it's the middle of the week already!Today is our 11 year anniversary, so we're going out to a nice dinner. I'm losing a lot of sleep these days, hence a wonky schedule and uncomfortable feelings. But I know it will pass, eventually.I hope all of you have a peaceful day, and may good things come your way!
You haven't been sounding like you're doing very well for a few days at least....what are they waiting for?
keep fighting. the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Fight on, girl!
its like trying to get blood out of a stone
YOU know i went to an appt on friday 24 slightly aggitated/hypomanic
irrational basically and discharged myself on the basis that i was going to cambridge going to become a solicitor and live the most beautiful life imaginable and that i could not fathom why i was in the room.
the woman didnt even realise (i can now in retrospect) HOW irrational i was.
my mum was sat there gobsmacked i didnt even get a followup
im such a mess :(
keep fighting. its a must

A stable mush is a wonderful thing!!!! (((((Hugs)))))
It's variable. Some places the mental health services are very good. Some places not so.
I got excellent treatment once I got my BP diagnosis. I got my aspie stuff sorted real quick too.
i live in southwales our NHS budget cuts are ridiculous
but im an 18 year old female.
seems to work against you. if i was a middle-aged male i might
be taken seriously.
dont even say borderline shit because i looked it up and its alien to me.
Re the borderline thing - this was because I suggested that was how you might be diagnosed and the reason for your treatment at the time.
I was trying to warn you against a suicide attempt to try and get treatment because that would make people would realise it was not genuine and take that as evidence you were borderline.
I was talking about perceptions in the psychiatry depts of the NHS based on conversations with them - just that.
Might allow you to work on stuff in a structure yourself?
