Tw Not Coping

[Birdofparadise8]

Yeah, I am going to try and have some dinner @Paperdaisy 

Thank you though I do hope the system improves as well.

Is anyone up for a chat @Former-Member @amber22 or anyone else?

@Eve7 I hope you are well this evening ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

@Birdofparadise8 it's a shame the acute team discharged you without letting you know. Ideally, they should have let you know and discussed options for further support. Sitting with you ❤️

[Birdofparadise8]

Yes it is very much so I will reach out to the one more time and if they aren’t helpful I won’t worry about it @creative_writer 

How are you going tonight?

[creative_writer]

@Birdofparadise8, I feel like so much is dependent on who you get. Like I've had helpful and not-so-helpful calls before. I've had calls where I felt worse than I already did. It can be frustrating. However, once, I got referred to the HOPE (Hospital Outreach Post-Suicidal Engagement service) which was helpful. though I think there are only available for certain postcodes in Melbourne.

Nothing much here. I had dinner and watched tv. Heard back from SANE today for GS so will be starting that soon.

Definitely depends on who you get it can be hard to get someone that actually listens and wants to help @creative_writer 

That is great to hear I hope you get something out of it. 

[creative_writer]

@Birdofparadise8 for sure. I hope you do find a supportive team to help you navigate your mental health.

[Birdofparadise8]

Yes I hope so @creative_writer 

I talked to eheadspace not that long ago and the man suggested I go and play on a play ground as that will help with the sadness and suicidal thoughts. Feels like saying to someone have a cup of tea and you’ll be fine and won’t want to end it. 

[Paperdaisy]

That seems like an odd thing to say to someone @Birdofparadise8 I can't imagine!

@Birdofparadise8 I feel you. I hate when people try to quickly fix things. I feel that especially if you have had long term mental health struggles, it doesn’t work. It’s like telling a kid who injured themselves not to tend to or clean their wounds and just cover it up and it’ll be okay.
