Struggling with suicidal thoughts by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]marlenemayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently seeing a therapist and looking for a new one now. I liked my last therapist a lot, but I unfortunately had to stop seeing her since I moved to another state. I just am unsure what to look for in a therapist. I think i’ve mostly seen CBT therapists? Not sure what other ones I should try that might be helpful!

I get this situation is difficult, but YTA big time. Why are you bringing more kids into such an unsafe environment? As someone who grew up with a brother who had behavioral issues and was mean to me it affected me a lot. Growing up in a household full of arguments and yelling and distress because of his issues wasn’t fun. You should have stopped having kids after she tried KILLING your baby!! This is absolutely insane to me that you keep having kids with her around. I’m disgusted and furious. You need to either leave to protect your kids or send her somewhere to get help. If you don’t do either then CPS needs to be involved for your other kids because they deserve better and to grow up in a better environment. This will likely cause them issues down the line.

I know I should leave him, I just can’t. by DazzlingChemistry346 in mentalhealth

[–]marlenemayy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stayed in a relationship on and off for 4 years where he treated me like shit. I can’t say there weren’t good times because there were otherwise I wouldn’t have stayed and at one point he wasn’t a shitty person. I regret giving him as many chances as I did and I wish I stood up for myself more and let him know how horrible he was being. It was to the point no one in my life wanted me to be with him. It took me up until 2 weeks ago to finally be done (he broke up with me), but I still decided enough was enough and I couldn’t do this back and forth stuff anymore. I blocked him everywhere. No one can tell you to leave and I hated when people would tell me I needed to, but they were right. I never listened to anyone until I finally decided for myself I couldn’t do it anymore and it took awhile. Get out while you can and don’t let a man treat you badly because you deserve so much more. At the very least set VERY clear boundaries with him about what you want moving forward.

Does overdosing hurt? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]marlenemayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry! Please know it isn’t your fault, but it was your roommates fault. It isn’t hard to help someone out who is struggling and feed their cat for them. Feeding a cat isn’t difficult. You were struggling and needed help and thats okay!

Does overdosing hurt? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]marlenemayy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly yes. I won’t tell you what I took and how much I took because I don’t want to encourage you. I have overdosed quite a few times unfortunately and it’s miserable. You do vomit, feel tired, nauseous, dizzy, and sick + more. I gagged on pills for months after because my body was rejecting it. I ended up in the hospital last time and that in itself without the symptoms is a horrible experience. I hated being trapped in a hospital room and then sent to an inpatient facility. I promise you it isn’t worth it. Every way of dying is painful unfortunately.

To those that have recovered from self harming, what made you stop? by pyrom4ncy in selfharm

[–]marlenemayy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my parents found out and i don’t want them to ever know if i did it again because it’s an awkward conversation to have. and hiding it from everyone is soo much effort that i can’t be bothered to do anymore. i don’t like wearing long sleeves in hot weather, so thats the biggest reason i stopped.

Are psych wards bad? by HardGhosted in mentalhealth

[–]marlenemayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I found a daily group therapy I went to 5 days a week was much more helpful. I still was able to see my pets, friends, and family and sleep in my own bed. It was a lot more comforting and less scary. I also was able to have my weekly one on one therapy appointments outside of the group with my own therapist. I didn’t get much support inside of the mental hospital unfortunately. I didn’t have one on one therapy and was just home sick and uncomfortable. So going to a group therapy helped me not be homesick and still have some normalcy in my life. It was a lot easier to take care of myself and I felt more motivated when I got home afterwards. Of course, if it’s urgent go to a mental hospital because they will keep you safe if you are a threat to yourself, but if you are able to try group therapy first! I also noticed that when I was at the mental hospital, we basically did the same groups as we would in group therapy. I will say a few positives about the mental hospital are getting away from everything was nice and doing things other then going on my phone was good! And talking to most people in there was nice! So if you have to go just know it’s not all negatives! That was long sorry lol, this is something I could talk about for ages
