Coping in the emergency department

[Jupiter]

I just wanted to swing by and say good on you @The-red-centaur for taking yourself to the ED last night to help keep safe. I hope things are feeling a bit more manageable for you today 

I'm glad you had @Former-Member for some support and distraction.

@Jupiter I'm still in the waiting room of the emergency department. I'm having a major panic attack tbh. I'm bothering the staff and can't do this. Crisis team fcked off without seeing me saying they'll be back at 4. Seriously. I've been here since 10pm. Why am I even bothering. I'm sorry for this vent post. I am safe and I am staying to get help for once. I'm too distressed to really talk rn. Just had some meds.



I see everyone and hear you. I'm sorry I'm not replying to anyone today. I just don't have capacity. I'll update things later.

I appreciate the update @The-red-centaur and I'm glad to hear you are safe and are going to continue to stay to get help. You are worth it. I'm sorry to hear it has been so long. 

I hope the medication helps and perhaps some music might also help to calm you right now?

Sitting with you while you wait

@The-red-centaur , I will be here with you for a while my friend. You don't have to talk to me just know I am here. 💜

@Jupiter @Former-Member and anyone reading
I just saw psych reg, he's going to speak to his boss about a possible admission. If there are beds. Which is actually unlikely though.


I cried so much to him. I'm broke rn and don't know how to pick up the shards and glue it back together. I'll try though. I'm trying.

[Former-Member]

I am so proud of you for allowing yourself to be that vulnerable and how hard you are reaching out for help @The-red-centaur  let's hope they can get you a bed. You are doing the very best you can right now and that's ok. I will be waiting with you my friend. 

[Jupiter]

Fingers crossed there is a bed @The-red-centaur 

Sometimes having a good cry can feel like a bit of a release. I can hear how much you are trying right now - keep it up 

[Former-Member]

Something for you to listen to later my friend. @The-red-centaur
