when to be concerned

[just.smile.]

hey,

im under adutlt mental health services, finding that they dont listen or understand where im at. my thoughts are getting louder and harder to fight, im barely eating, barely functioning and detaching from reality. ive done hospital admissions, never found them helpful, exhausted most options in terms of help.

i guess my question is, at what point do i have to be concerned? i mean i am scared for myself but the voices/thoughts are too overwhelming. im stuck and pertrified its only going to get worse, or im going to be left alone and ill lose the ability to fight and give in.

any ideas of what to do would be helpful. sorry if it doesnt make any sense.

hoping everyone is well.

Hi Rachael,

It does make sense and I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling so much. I've found it can be very difficult to make yourself heard with adult services but usually there is a way, and hopefully in a positive way. For me, one way I find of communicating things effectively is to write it down. Then I have a chance to read it before I give it to them but also it gives them a chance to read it and respond after a little time to process of what you've written.

It sounds like you should be concerned now, not just you, but the 'professionals' too. Things sound very scary and frightening and you shouldn't have to be alone with this.

I am not sure what to suggest but wanted you to know that I am here for you if you want to chat.
