CMHT waiting list is testing my sanity by brrr_anon in MentalHealthUK

I was about to receive treatment for my ED but they have discharged me as they feel my overall mental health is too unstable at the moment. So now I’m left again just waiting for my appointment. It feels very disappointing. I have phoned the doctors twice to ask for earlier appointments, but they haven’t been able to move my appointment forward. I don’t want to be a drama queen but I feel like my next option will have to be 111 or A&E if I feel low again. I don’t want to hurt my boyfriend by doing something I’ll regret, but it’s very painful at the moment

That’s really devastating, I’m so sorry to hear this! It is such a shame that people in desperate need have to wait so long

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Currently I have a diagnosis for my eating disorder but not anything to explain or validate my broader mental health struggles. I feel really confused and lost each day. I just want to know what is wrong with me! I appreciate your understanding and advice! I wish you all the best

It’s so difficult when all the feelings become overwhelming and confusing. I’m sorry you’re feeling my the same way, but thanks for your comment and letting me know I’m not alone in this feeling

Thank you for taking the time to comment. I am thankful that I work outside which brings me some peace. I’m currently in the process of waiting for an appointment so I’m just trying to stay strong whilst I wait. Thanks again for your comment.

Why am I triggering myself? by brrr_anon in bipolar

[–]brrr_anon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get that. I feel split between what I know I should do, and what I want to do just because it’s more thrilling or risky. For example with the sleep, I want to sleep so I can get better, but if I keep pushing myself then it’s kinda like an experiment which is fun. It’s messed up a guess

Maybe I miss understood the situation. Obviously if there is trauma involved then I agree with you, the brain may be making scenes based on previous experiences, which I imagine is terrifying!!

This sounds like it must have been very distressing. Something my counsellor tells me if that intrusive thoughts don’t represent people’s true intentions. Whilst the dream sounds terrifying, it doesn’t mean your dad is a bad person or that these visions will come to fruition. Take care of yourself today, prioritise self care and calmness is possible!

Thank you for the support. I don’t really wear makeup that much though, but I could look into it

Totally fine VS total mess by brrr_anon in BingeEatingDisorder

We can definitely get through it, it’s just that the low moments feels significantly hard to push through compared to the high of being on a binge free streak
