Overwhelm

I hate this. I'm in extremely good care, but I feel so burdened, so sad, so scared, so despairing, so guilty. Why is this happening to me? A friend told me that it is because I can handle it. Well, I don't know if I can. But there is nothing more I can do. I am trying. I feel like a failure. I feel like my therapists will say, you aren't trying or you wouldn't feel this way. I can cope with it when it's only for a day, but it's been a week now and it's not going away. I'm using Gravol for continuous nausea and to remove myself from myself. You know what I mean. I wish someone could help me.

I'm sorry you're having so much intense emotion. I know it can be overwhelming and very difficult to handle them all. Have you tried other medications? Do you tell your T about your feelings? I would suggest that. If you are not DBT already, maybe look into a workbook? There are a lot of good techniques for dealing with such intense feelings. I hope you feel better soon. You CAN do this!

Big hugs your way. Just to let you know you aren't alone in your battle there is tonnes of us that feel the same as you do. We also self medicate maybe not with gravol but other drugs or alcohol or credit card shopping. We know all those emotions to well you are already coping pretty good so give yourself a pat on the back. It doesn't have to be perfect the way you are coping just needs to be right for you at the given time. But maybe you wanna do something for yourself like take a bubble bath or a long hot shower...its all about pampering yourself. you are coping just remember that

That feeling of being trapped in a feeling for seemingly forever is HORRIBLE. I can understand how being in that can make you feel like no one can understand what you're going through and will judge you negatively for your feelings however, you are entitled to feel any way you want to. It's how you deal with them that people can comment on. If you're taking care of yourself and not being self-destructive then you should let that try and build you up a bit. Something that helps me at times is making a really simple list of things to do and then checking them off as I do them. Seriously it's just small things like take a shower or take meds on time but being able to check it off a list still reminds me I'm doing something and helps a bit. Dunno if it would work for you, just an idea.

Sorry you're still feeling bad....sending you a bunch of love and hugs

I get so angry when someone tells me that I am suffering because I can handle it. I can't handle it, if I could handle it then I would not feel the way I do.

Are you taking other meds along with the Gravol? You need to watch the intake of Gravol, there are better things for long term nausea. I hope the nausea goes away for you.

That's exactly how I feel. When everyone says that I can handle everything when I know I can't makes me feel completely worthless and only makes the feelings worse. I know you can pull through this.

You got it Angel. When my son and husband were diagnosed aspies, when I got my diagnosis I was told that I could handle it. How was I handling it when I was diagnosed while in the hospital due to an OD?

The worst is probably feeling so frustrated with everyone because it's like they don't get that I can't take it.
