Weekends are the WORST….
Hey there. I find weekends the worst currently because people don’t work on weekends. Then, have to wait until Monday for people to get back to me.
Things are going good… just this thing called the waiting game is what I’m struggling with. Things are changing faster than my brain can keep up. Good changes…. But I hate change in the first place. So… yeah, my anxiety is on high 24/7.
Crisis Lines via Text even… aren’t even an option anymore. My parents had those unreasonable expectations about me not having my phone, because they didn’t trust me with it. Contacting crisis lines , taking their suggestions, which actually made my mental health worse? I used them for validation, mainly…. Now I can’t use them at all. I agree with the IOP I’m in currently; crisis lines aren’t the best way to go.

Hello,
I hope you were able to find the help you need!
Sending hugs!💛✨
@leannescarlet, sorry to hear that you are experiencing anxiety and stuck in a waiting place. It really stinks when we get unhelpful advice from others, doesn't it?! I'm sure that it also makes it harder to connect with people when you don't have access to your phone. That could make weekends extra difficult. Have you seen the anxiety help guide on 7cups? I'm not sure if you've already done this, or if you would find it helpful, but here it is: https://www.7cups.com/anxiety-help/
I think I understand your mindset..Sundays in particular always seem like a down day for me which is weird because I’m off on Sunday and Monday. Each day kinda has their own feel. Some people don’t get it when I say that
