Hi @Bow ,
It can be so disheartening to hear that recovery is a long and hard process. I have felt that overwhelm and despair when told something similar in my therapy. It can be hard to see past the current moment.
I just wanted to check in on you , are you safe at the moment?

I've got an appointment at community mh tomorrow morning. My new psychologist there arranged it for me cause I've been feeling so low and flat for weeks and constantly in a state of fighting off SI.
I am terrible scared that it's going to be unhelpful and that I will be stuck in this horrible mental state for longer and I can't bare to be here. I'm so scared.

Hi Bow,
So sorry to hear it's such a difficult evening and you've been grappling with SI so much recently.
Just checking in if you are able to reach out to Lifeline or SCBS for a chat tonight as you may need? Its important you are able to do whatever you can to stay safe and just double checking in around your safety this evening.
With much care and gratitude,
Otter

About the same @Snowie had an appointment this morning at community mh. Was asked a million questions again... I don't know how many times I've told them what's going on for me. Wish they would take better notes and you could see the same person. Only good thing that came out of it is that I got some prn! Not telling Mum. Don't want to have to ask her for it all the time.
I have a gp appointment shortly and getting my second jab. Will stop off and grab myself a chai on the way home..,
