Is there anything I can do?
 

So, i wrote a letter to my psych.
Explaining all the stuff going on inside my head.
I even admitted that i'm suicidal.
Because i'm too scared to say these things out loud.

But they started saying that i wasn't too bad. Nothing seriously wrong.
That i didn't have a serious mental illness.
My letter could disprove that theory. :notsure:

Basically, there was no opportunity to give them the letter
That didn't throw everything they said back in their faces.
I despise myself for not being able to do it.
Maybe i even deserve to die because of it.

My point is, is there anything else i can do?
Or should i just leave it,
and not tell them anything?

Any advice would be appreciated. :-).

i agree
you really need to let your psych know you're not doing so well. you DO NOT deserve to die because you didn't hand in a letter!
could you ring im/her up and discuss it on the phone or make another appointment and just hand them te letter in silence? you could add on the beginning that you know they thought you were doing well but that's because you find it difficult to admit how you feel in your sessions.
if you're not safe then go to A and E and as to speak to the psych on duty there. they could then contact your psych on your behalf.
the most important thing is t keep yourself safe.
take care
PM me anytime

Thanks for the advice guys. I really appreciate it.

I guess i could give it to them at my next appointment, which is in two weeks. But i feel bad for stringing them along.

What if they're mad at me because i left it so long before telling them?

Thank you :-).

unless you tell the psyc how u really feelthen they wont know that naything is wrong.
so open up and be honest.
i know how hard it is but it is the only way you wll get any help and support.
perhaps post the letter to your psyc if you arent feeling brave enough to hand it over face to face.

I doubt they'll be mad at you. In fact, they'd probably be really pleased and proud of you for having the courage to give it to them. Better late than never? Good luck. xo

Don't worry that you haven't given it to them yet, but do try to give it to them. I've spent years trying to get counselling etc because although I kept telling people I felt ****, because I never spelled it out to them they never took it any further. Fortunately I've now reached the point where I have spelled it out to them, and they are really trying to catch up lost time.

They won't be angry; they'll be pleased that you've told them, because now they'll know exactly how to help and where to go from here. It takes a lot of courage, and they recognise that, and in the long run, it really does help.

Good luck

i'd mail the letter because then they can realise that maybe it is serious (seriouser that they thought at least) and take the steps they need to make you feel better. go ahead and post it, because you'll regret not knowing what they could have done to help you if you don't. take care. :) xx
