I've been through hell

I'm a 6x suicide survivor it occurred approximately once every 2 years from the age of twenty. I used weed to cope with things however my body cant handle the withdrawals and that causes psychosis. in the 5 times that I went into psychosis I ruled out dehydration, caffeine, inadequate rest and the product being laced. I finally accept that it doesn't agree with me, however I feel like the damage is done and I hope my brain can heal from all the trauma. I have severe disassociation, however my long term memory is unimpaired - my brain is just kind of tuned out in the present most of the time, it's a natural trauma response. My last breakdown was a few months back. I would love to become a mental healthcare advocate and share my story but there isn't many places where that is allowed.

My therapist cannot help me anymore

My therapist says she cannot give me the support i need yet when l asked the Gp for psychiatric support like a psychiatric nurse they said I could can keep myself safe. I feel so let down I really do! I’m hearing voices, intrusive thoughts, seeing hallucinations (demons etc) it’s so terrifying! I even saw my dead biological father too and he died years ago! I was so scared! I really need to go back to the doctors and tell them I need the support now because of this. My therapist says she cannot offer the expertise or training unfortunately. It’s so sad as she’s so lovely too. I’ve had her for years.
If it wasn’t for my cat I would end it all! She’s the reason why I’m still breathing bless her! #Depression #Psychosis

I’m new here!

Hi, my name is solo_crow. I'm here because I'm on the last frayed nerve and it's snapping. I'm sooo exhausted. usa mental health industry has made things worse...
I guess I should rant in a room that's meant for this. I miss smiling. laughter is a fading memory. laughter is more like folklore.

Well it's been another year since my last post, not sure why but so far I haven't had any episodes this year. So if I only show up annually, it would certainly be worth celebrating especially if I can keep this up.

Partner of someone with BPD

I want to be a gentle supportive partner
He’s currently experiencing psychosis symptoms
I’ve seen him go through it before and it was in and out of the hospital for 1-2 months
this time it’s less suicidal tendencies which is amazing and I’m grateful to know he’s safe
But some of his actions and some of the things he’s saying to me are exstremly inconsiderate and hurtful
Examples he downloaded a dating app and then promised me he’d never cheat on me and has been telling me that his ex is meant to be in his life still (something like that)

How would you feel?
I’m genuinely asking anyone who reads this because personally
I feel disrespected and angry and just adding to the depression I’m already struggling with

I know that he is not himself right now
But it doesn’t make things hurt less
I’ve been trying to keep my cool and be here for him

But I have no idea what to do
The implosiveness is hard to keep up with
Constant cleaning and making sure nothing is set in fire

There has been so much age regression and I am lost on what I’m supposed to do

Any insight or advice is appreciated !
