I'm sorry nothing is really helping at the moment @Eden1717 😞 And no that makes total sense with the talking about it making you more suspicious and scared, I think I would probably feel the same way in your position! Would it be more helpful I guess to focus more on validating the feelings these thoughts bring up rather than trying to challenge the thoughts themselves? And also trying to find distractions if it's possible? It does sound really hard- I guess I'm just hoping we're supporting you in the best way for you and not making things worse that's all!
That's awesome your lecturers have been so supportive! 🙂 It can make all the difference when uni accomodates your needs. It sucks you've got all this work to catch up on now though, I guess just try and take your time and take it easy? Mm I get what you mean.. I think hospital isn't intended to make things better it's more just to hit pause and keep you safe and I guess some people have the expectations that it can get you back to feeling 100%? But like even if you go to hospital for like a physical illness isn't their focus on getting you 'stable' enough to be treated in the community (if it's an ongoing thing)? Like isn't that the same for mental health? Idk maybe people have a misconception about it hm anyway sorry I went on a tangent
That's okay if you think of it we're here to listen. I hope you were able to get some rest in after so much uni today ❤️
