TW: Issues

There's some days that I feel no motivation doing anything. To just lay down and cry while watching my phone... Does anyone relate?

Spoiler
Like there are some days were you feel suicidal because you're struggling so much with your health and mental health but at the same time you have God to stop you from acting on those thoughts.

I don't know if anyone else relates but it's hard.

Spoiler
Yesterday I went to hospital because I was starving myself and my medicine didn't work and my illness came back and here is the doctor telling me my diet sucked...

that made me feel like a looser like I always mess up I try My best and still nothing I make it worse!

Hey @Mixedmuffin I wanted to thank you for coming online and sharing how you're feeling. Being open and honest about your struggles is not easy and I hope it helps to be able to speak about it.

 

It sounds like you've been going through some tough times with your health and mental health. I'm glad that your faith has been able to support you when you're feeling like this. Do you have anyone in your life that you can talk to about these things? If you are looking for some professional support, Kids Helpline and Lifeline offer 24/7 anonymous phone and webchat counselling. You might find it helpful to connect with them when things are tough.

 

I'm sorry to hear that your doctor told you that your diet sucked, it's so hard to hear people say things like that. You're not a loser if you're trying your best and I can see that you have a lot of strength in managing all of these struggles together. If you ever wanted to talk to someone about body image and eating or to find some resources, the Butterfly Foundation is a great place to start. Hopefully it helps to know that you're not alone in feeling this way and there are people who understand and want to help.

 

It sounds like it's been a tough couple of days after you went to hospital yesterday, I was wondering if you have anything nice planned for yourself or some self-care you can do? 

 

We're also sending you an email to check in, so can you keep an eye out for that and respond when you get the chance?

I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling this way, I often struggle with motivation and an inability to do the things I know I need to. You are definitely not alone in this feeling, I find that days like this it's important to be kind to yourself and remember that it is okay to do nothing. Do you have any ways of practising self-care like hobbies or things you enjoy that you can do from the comfort of your bed like reading a book, or watching your favourite TV show?
