saw my GP and told him that i have strong urges to self harm. he asked me what is stopping me from doing it - i couldn't answer.
he said he is not worried about my physical health as i have meds at the moment to control the fast heart rate and inflammation. he told me he is worried about my mental health and the decline i go through every now and then. he said that my mum has played a big part in contributing to my stressors. and that i need to look at all the good things in my life eg. my kids, and little A and how much happiness she gives me.
he said staying in bed most days during the day isn't good for my mental health and i then ruminate and think of every negative thing in my life.
he wants me to continue doing craft things and seeing friends especially when invited. i told him i cancelled my lunch appt with a friend last week and he said no i need to do things like that to help me feel better about myself.
it's all too hard; my mum is paying for this big time. i want to yell at her, i want to scream, hit punch and whatever else i want to do. i want her to feel the pain i am in and see how it feels to not receive phone calls or a care in the world.
i am triggered every day by some things and i want it all to go away. i can't calm down even though i try at times. i am in a state of panic all the time and it is exhausting.
life is not fair, life is extremely difficult and i don't know how much longer i can keep going.

@BlueBay Sorry to hear you feel like this. Have you been to the Dr? I'm going this afternoon too. I'm just going to have a nap before my appointment. What day program do you do?

I'm really sorry to read how you are feeling @BlueBay - I know there's nothing I can say that will probably help or change how you feel but please know I feel for you and really do hope these feelings will pass for you soon.
It's really good that you told the doctor how you are feeling - sounds like he had some good advice. I also understand somethings (like having lunch with a friend) are easier said then done when you feel like you do.
Big hugs,

just so you all know i have cntacted my local crisis support number at local hospital. i needed to speak to someone and the lady i spoke to listened and understood my pain (reg. my mum)and i told her about my urges of sh and suicidal thoughts. she said she was glad i haven't gone further with these plans.
she is going to keep my file open for a week, in case i contact them again they all know what it is about.
i have just made another short appt with my dr for next monday just to touch base with him and let him know where i am at.
tomorrow i have group at hospital which will be good. let's hope it's not too triggering
i know my rational mind is ok with things, it understands that my mum will never ever change. it's my emotional mind that takes over and i feel so overwhelmed with anger, fear, sadness, rejection and abandonment.
some days

Thank you for the update @BlueBay - we really appreciate you letting us know how you are getting on.
It's great that you have contacted your local hospital and that they are going to keep their file on you open for the week just in case you need to reach out again. It's also great that you have an appointment with your doctor and you are going to group.
As for the rational mind versus the emotional mind - I think that's one most of us can relate to at one time or another. I know I have definitely struggled with this in the past and no doubt will again in the future.
Sending you hugs and positive wishes,

Feeling very sad tonight
can’t say too much
but …something serious has happened to someone I know
could and probably will face jail
I’m in shock
I’m sad for the family
I just wishes these negative thoughts I’m having would stop

Hey @BlueBay, nice to see you on here.
So sorry to hear you've been struggling with some negative thoughts, and now trying to process a shocking event someone you know is facing. It would make anyone feel unsettled.
How are you looking after yourself tonight? There's a lot of feelings. I hope you are being kind and letting yourself have your feelings.
Here with you,
Sphinxly
