Squishy_Belle Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I ended up at the psyciatrists for 3 hours on Monday. I guess i have been avoiding the past instead of dealing with it and now it is slowly creeping up on me I've been such a mess and needed some time out so my Dr signed me off work for a week. I decided to go and stay with my parents to get away from work and everything else and now i feel guilty. I feel guilty that i am off work because it isn't like i have a broken leg or something that is stopping me from working. I feel like everyone is judging me because they can't see the wounds that i am carrying around in side me. How can i make them understand??
d'Arthez Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 You can't make them understand - it is not a visible thing, and people will often think there is nothing wrong with you as a consequence. Which tends to make it harder for you to deal with your issues. You can try and explain what is going on in your mind, but unless people are empathic, they won't really be able to understand what it is like to be Squishy_Belle at this particular moment in time. As difficult as it is, try not to pay too much attention to what others are saying. It is your life and you need to focus on yourself and healing.
CopingGal Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I wouldn't waste time on trying to get people to understand. Screw them. What you did is good. It's good for you and you needed to. Screw them.
iambookworm Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Believe it or not, only one person here knows about my break up. I've kept up a facade at work. My family, I only told them it didnt work out, but not the reasons why. This site is a big help because people here understand. And they base their comments and advice on their own experience. Like being in a an anonymous support group. And isn't that really sometimes what we want? To talk to someone who understands and know what we are going through? 1
Sugarkane Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 That's what exactly brought me here in the first place. My mum was extremely unsympathetic, whenever I ask her for advice she gets angry. I find this odd for a mother to do. She always told me "just get over it!". The one line I loathe more than anything! But I mean HOW do you get over it? Then I have people at work saying they want to get engaged, pop put babies etc they didn't understand. Then I had an ex friend trying to give me breakup advice. I find that a bit rich considering she married her first boyfriend. She literally has no understanding of what it's like. That really angers me.
Sugarkane Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) The ex friend was also a newlywed. Easy to say love is great when you haven't been screwed over and married your first bf. Edited June 22, 2012 by Sugarkane iPhone error
