"Someone's action toward someone else was the (((trigger))) to this emotional upheaval. I felt frightened that it could happen to me down the road. Then I wonder what's going to happen to me down the road." BF
In general, I worry about what will happen to me down the road because of all of my mental health issues. Being in the psych hospital around other patients was particularly hard. But I know I have good providers now, and I do everything I can within my power to make sure I'm getting the best care possible, and I have to leave the rest in God's hands. My outcome will be much better than I sometimes allow myself to think when my anxiety's really high and I engage in catastrophic thinking. I know you have fight in you too, you also have a good psych team behind you, and you also find comfort in your faith in God. I hope that these thoughts can give you some moments of relief "It hit me like a tidal wave. I cannot explain obsessive-compulsive thoughts. I wish that I didn't have these mental health issues. We live in a society where they are not compassionate in general to people who live with mental health issues,unless it's a (((special))) tv program,or something. Then the media expresses a general sense of negativity about people with mental health issues, and a lack of concern for them." BF I don't know the extent of the situation that triggered you, or how close the two parties are to you. But obviously this situation hit home to you for some reason even though it's not an imminent threat. So, it's increased your anxiety and has caused some catastrophic thinking on your part and your OCD is abusing you (like it likes to do to us) by recirculating the thoughts repeatedly… I'm so sorry you've been in such pain… I know how unrelenting these thoughts can be at times I wish none of us had to deal with mental health issues. I have been pushed to my limits over the last year+ and there's been a great deal of bending, but I haven't broken. We're all fighting. I've dealt with a great deal of rejection due to my mental illness, probably in a lot more obvious way because of the s/s attempt. There are medical doctors who are uncomfortable with patients who have the serious mental health issues/history I do. Unfortunately my mental illness has become a big part of my life and I can't be close to people who can't handle that. As a result, I'm pretty isolated. I do wonder if those people ever think of me at all anymore though… I hope that with a little time, you're able to reframe this situation/possibility in your mind so that it doesn't hold as much power over you. Hopefully between that and help from meds, your anxiety and OCD will let up and give you some relief You'll be in my thoughts. Kay |

Quote:
Because of this I spend a lot of time alone because I can't stand the pain of being judged, and/or mistreated by people anymore. They don't want me around, and are not interested in my hobbies. At best I keep mostly silent about my emotional struggles because people don't want to hear about it at all. If mentioned, people stay away, and/or treat me like a second class citizen for the most part. I can't relax around people. I sometimes worry, "What if I'm kicked out, and end up living on the streets"!!! Some people with emotional problems end up on the streets. What a tragic, and painful event that would be. BF |

i have that fear to about being homeless but i know it is my bipolar making things as scary as possible. Most people have problems but they just don't discuss them and put on a happy face. I know so many people who are struggling. my friend just lost her job. another two friends are waiting for biopsies. another friend doesn't want to wake up in the morning. he does take good care of himself..and on and on...you are not alone. i still haven't found out the results of my heart tests and am fighting with my best friend. and on and on
