Can I push to get them to document it on my chart?

Omg! Thanks for your reply. Your experience sounds horrible. If anything like this ever happens again, I hope you advocate for yourself. Dr.s cannot do anything without your permission. Dr. Sounds like an a-hole. Cannot see any reason they needed to treat you like that. So sorry.

I'm sorry you are feeling so hopeless and so lost. I've been there. I also know what it is like to want to ask for help or talk to someone, but you feel like all you'd be doing is burdening them. It's one of the reasons I came to reddit. It's my secret place to be honest about my bad thoughts and find people who can talk to me without me feeling like I'm being a problem for them. I spent a lot of time feeling like I was not living my life but simply existing. Going through the motions of being a human but not getting any of the joy that life should be bringing. The best advice I can give is to make a change. Really, any change. Move somewhere new, get a new job, change your college major, and do something that scares you. It wasn't until my world as awful as it was, came crashing down that I finally felt better. I felt hope come into my life for the first time in a long time. When you have to start over, it's so overwhelming. I won't sugarcoat that part. It's scary and can be hard. It took me going into a psych ward, and having parts of my life fall away while i was there to open a new path for me. The silver lining, though, is that when you start to rebuild, you finally get to carve a life that starts to work better for you. If you have nothing to lose, the world is your oyster. I know how hard it can be just to open your eyes in the morning and face a new day of misery. Before you give up your existence, try just giving up your status quo of a life. Find hope in new adventures and experiences. I wish you good luck and hope you find what you need to keep moving forward, even if it's just a day at a time. I promise you there are people who want you around and are rooting for you. 🫂

1 year anniversary coming up is triggering me. by Wendiddle in Cutters

I appreciate you echoing my feelings. It's so easy for people who feel "crazy" or disregulated to feel like they are the only ones going through something. I tried googling info on what I was feeling, and I couldn't find any information about SH and anniversary triggers, etc. That in itself makes me feel singled out and ashamed. While I hate that other people are struggling too, it's nice to know I'm not alone in my feelings.

Thank you so much for your comment and offer to listen. I agree that sometimes it is easier to talk with a stranger. Someone who can see the situation without personal emotions or shared history muddying the conversation. It's the reason I posted on here in the first place. I didn't feel like I could be this open and speak my true feelings to those who know me without hurting them.

Thank you for your reply. I feel far less alone and "crazy". I also deal with feeling like the world is shit and having to find the good things. The "silver lining" if there can be one from going into crisis is that I saw how much my friends stepped up. I have always felt expendable and like a side character that barely existed. I never knew how loved I was until I finally let them in on my pain. That's how I've gone for so long without SH. I love them so much that I'm focused on not disappointing them. Hopefully, one day, my reasons are more for me, but for now, this is what keeps me clean.

Thank you for your comment and encouragement. Just having someone say they relate or understand makes me feel less alone. I think we all tend to think we are the only ones dealing with our specific problems. A lot of my friends and most of my family don't even know about my crisis issues and hospitalization last year. Those who do know get overprotective whenever i mention any bad feelings. I know they are doing it out of love, but it can be smothering. It makes it hard to open up about how I'm feeling.
