I always enjoy listening to anything that pertains to mental health. I left my previous job because I was on the wrong medications and made irrational decisions and had my gallbladder removed at the same time because I thought the medications were my initial problem. Lately things have been difficult because my drive I used to have for life and the things I used to enjoy aren’t prevalent anymore. At the same time I feel nothing I feel sad and have had a mental reliance on addiction with smoking and used to be drinking and everything just feels like it doesn’t exist and like I can’t talk to the people I love and care for because it just feels like it doesn’t help.
Just because you had a bad experience with your previous medical support don’t turn your back on it. search for second opinions and get the help that you need whether it is mentally or physically. If you need to reach out this is a great community that would be more than happy to talk you through any hardships you are having.
If you are looking for a simple change, that may help, go for a walk. Just getting out of the same 4 walls every day can sometimes give perspective and assist in turning a downward spiral into an upswing. But you are not alone in this, there is always help just around the corner. you just have to reach out.
I know life can be difficult at times. Like nothing matters. I’ve been there myself. Just know in this moment that you are loved and that you have a purpose. You are not alone. It takes courage just to talk about oneself and be vulnerable. That’s half the battle. Remember to give yourself grace and and to love yourself. If you like listening to anything that pertains to mental health, check out nerdhq.org. They have great podcasts, mindfulness material, and meditations. Keep your head up. I’m right there with you.
Thank you so much for sharing with us. It takes an incredible amount of courage and strength to be open and honest. I see you. I see your strength, and I see your struggle.
I am really happy that you have found this band. Beartooth has some really wonderful songs that touch on mental health and personal struggle that I have found to help me through some tough times. The song In Between from their debut album is one of my personal favorites and still listen to on a daily basis. Just awesome stuff. Keep the music spinning!
You are going through a lot right now, and you have every right to feel the emotions that you are feeling. My heart breaks for you, being on the wrong medications is something that can be so brutal to go through and especially worse when people on the outside cannot see it or understand it. Addiction is a beast in itself. It can be so cruel and ruthless. But I want you to know that you are so strong. You are still here fighting, and that shows so much. Tough times never last, but tough people like yourself do. You are also not alone. We are here at Heart Support to help you get through this. Please feel free to reach out at any time.
I hear you, OP. It really sounds like you’re stuck and in a rough place right now. That feeling of “nothing helps” is especially hard. You are not alone.
I also know the struggle of trying to figure out medications and diagnosis. The pain never seems to ease no matter what we try.
It’s awesome that this music can at least bring you a little comfort. I’m super appreciative of you posting your thoughts here too. The song title “ Might Love Myself” kind of reminds how important it is (for me at least) to remember to give myself some grace and to practice some self care.
Keep your head up, friend. You got this and we got you.
With love,
Satty
