I’m so done; even can’t figure out this app
I’m pissed at so many places , State support systems and everything.
And after posting a thread last night, because I’m new user here too. I can’t seem to get back to it. No idea if people commented on it or just liked it. Can’t find my post in the threads I shared them either. Tried one group chat last night. Too overwhelming and didn’t have time to explain what I’m going through; with the time limit provided.
The ER won’t fully admit me because of the thoughts I have without I plan . I’m not going to lie about having a plan, to get the intensive support I desperately need. That’s not me. All these inpatient programs, even the intensive outpatient one… they are mainly group related. I need the group along with the individual therapist, to figure out this crap going on. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?
Depends on who I get connected with on a crisis line. Since I’m calling the new mental health line (US: Residents) . They are getting frustrated with me. I’ve been calling them on a daily basis since August 3, 2022. And it’s currently August 10th., That’s why I’m questioning Crisis. Apparently I’m not in crisis, for the lines to find other options
@leannescarlett
so sorry you are feeling so frustrated. 7 cups offers therapy services. Crisis text line is great as well. I hope you can find the right support you need.
Hey! I finally at least see this . Weird I can’t seem to find my post before this one.
I used crisis text line, a lot actually. But since all I’m currently going through… it’s too much to text .
i did see that , 7 Cups offers therapy. I can’t though… $$ issue and they probably won’t take health insurance. At least, when I Looked into BetterHelp, they didn’t take insurance. So, ended my subscription with them within a month .
I will try my best to be more active in the group chats, if I can without getting overwhelmed myself. Still learning this app and glad that it offers support
@leannescarlett personally I find the group chats very overwhelming too, and I just avoid them because I feel I get more out of 1-1 chats (if the listener is an actually good one). Lots of people seem to love the group chats, but don't feel bad if they're not your thing. There's a lot or hit or miss here, lots of trial and error to figure out what fits you best. But at least it's free :P
As for the forum posts, for some silly reason you can't see the list of your own threads on the app, but you can on the desktop site. Although there's no way to see all your comments unless you happened to also subscribe to the thread as you commented (which is the default setting).
In general, I'm sorry mental health service suck so much. I hope you can still find support here (or, wherever you search for it, if this app just isn't working out for you.. although I hope it does!)
I appreciate you explaining the app to me! So weird. I’m not that crazy, when I can’t find my own threads.
For, the group chats here… yeah . Confusing .
appreciate your response
I am new here as well and I'm not quite sure how to navigate around this app. I too posted, comments? Can't find anything, I also signed up for an OCD forum for tonight and javelin no idea how that works !!
From what I have learned… that I can see at least 1 post if 3 I posted, which is this one!!
The actual Group Chats; overwhelming. Don’t know how they run. I am finding of you post something, and have people comment below, if they choose to comment … like social media.
I am so sorry for what you are going through.. I can understand it is a difficult situation!
Instead of Group chat ..you can browse for listeners on 7 cups app.. 1-1 chat might be a better option.. some of the therapist do consider insurance but I am not sure if it works with 7 cups therapy.. you can email them about your situation and they can help you in finding the right therapist.. they surely reply!
Although navigating the app is a bit difficult, for me too .. you will get notified when someone comments or upvotes your post.. that way you can access it again! Feel free to reach out if you need any help :)
Thanks ! Yeah… figured out how to find listeners. But I’ll keep finding ones that are active when I am. If I keep running out of options , for support, I’ll send this app an email. But not yet. I’ve given up and wanna get better. That’s why I used all my resources from crisis lines. I now can’t , or they (crisis lines ) REALLY want to keep the lines open for people who are actively in crisis. Which pisses me off. I was in crisis in July. My home country wouldn’t help because I was not in the state . Then… reach out to them again… when I’m home and , no one has time to talk with me, because I’m not currently in crisis.
