What to do

[Phoebe345]

I’m feeling rubbish. Really rubbish.

Is my fertility nurse going to dismiss me if I call her and tell her all I want to do is inflict some sort of harm on myself?

I wont harm myself, my thoughts are just inescapable at the moment.

My checkup isn’t until Monday, I don’t know if I can wait that long. Even though I’ve no idea what I want her to do.

Sorry.

I’m really sorry to read you are not feeling well, is everyone with you at the moment? Please let your partner and family know what you are going through, I know no one really understands how we feel but keep in touch. We are all here but sometimes we need a loved one to help us out. Write to me and I’ll write back xx

Thanks Linda. I’m hoping I can just ride this out. It’s really hard and I don’t know where to go for support.

[Linda84Co in reply to Phoebe345]

I’m happy that you have spoken to your Gp. DianeArnold has some advise as well, please look into it xx

Hi Phoebe. Oh dear! Do accept any offers of counselling that are made to you. Perhaps treat yourself to a relaxation CD and get into the habit of listening to it regularly in a dark room on your own for at least half an hour each evening if you can. We have Facebook support groups listed on the front page of our website fertilitynetworkuk.org under "support" at he top of the Home Page. Do have a look and hope you soon feel better. Diane

[Phoebe345 in reply to DianeArnold]

Thanks Diane. I’m not sure if my issues are fertility related or just related to my hospital stay. Due to past mental ill health, primary services don’t usually want to help me and I doubt I’ll meet the threshold for secondary care unless I act on my thoughts.

[Phoebe345]

Thanks everyone. I’ve spoken to my GP this afternoon who has prescribed me something to help me sleep. Hopefully I can keep myself safe over the weekend and just get to my clinic appointment on Monday.
