Feelings

[Taz79]

Hi

I think I'm having a mental health/depression blip. I have work stress and was having small amount of chest pains the other day, I am dreading going into work tomorrow as the day is not long enough to get my work done. I know I need help and I have reached out for it, I can't get a GP appointment till 20th April and here in the UK we can only speak to a doctor, I have also referred myself to mental health services but they can't do an assessment over the phone till end of April. My other option is mental health crisis team but then I think I'm being silly and don't call.

I also feel so de-motivated and I don't want to talk to anyone or be with people but then on the other side I want friends that I can go and see, I also have really bad trust issues and when I meet people I feel they are being sly, I have no friends and my life consists of work and looking after my dogs

Just needed to get this out my head cos my thoughts are making me anxious and thinking things that aren't real

You need someone you can talk to, it can be anyone, a neighbor, a friend, just to take your mind from the negatives. Try to do a small thing you like every day, and state the good traits about yourself, I’m sure you still can think of some. Remove the negatives as much as you can, and keep practicing it.

Your thoughts and feelings arent silly. If you feel up to it give the crisis line a call, thats why they're there. I can relate to the feeling of being overwhelmed with work but feeling like you're just going through the motions with your own life. Don't lose hope.

Thank you. I feel ashamed feeling like this as there are people out there with worse problems than me

That doesn't make your feelings any less valid!
