Something’s not right

I'm not coping

I'm not coping

I'm not coping with any of this

Just want to live under a rock

some garbage spam in my inbox after i signed up to a date platform really annoyed me - well what use is it to be signing up to that in the middle of a pandemic? The only thing you can do is online and that is rubbish.

I am beginning to think I will be on my own forever. By the time I actually find a proper job and be able to move out... I'll already be in my 30s.

I really get sick of trying so many things in life. Splitting myself across three "realms" (work, uni and intern) has been too much of a test. I don't feel I've been successful at any of them. Well maybe I won't know until it's all done and dusted. When all is said and done?

I guess I just have to keep going. That's it. Just keep going. Even if I don't know where I will end up. Anything else is a distraction or unhelpful to think about. I have to take the stoic approach because anything else lands me in deep trouble.

I felt I have lost my mind in all this pandemic and I'm only coping by holding scrapes of a mind together. Somehow.

I'm really over feeling like this most of the time. I feel I should be independent of circumstances around me - should not be getting down and depressed. Should be able to cope and such. But Idk anymore.

I really don't.

I'm 27 and I am loser in life and I can't figure out if it's my own fault or not

Re: I'm not coping

Thanks for sharing, I feel your pain. I not coping either: lockdown, isolated alone, no work at airport until lockdown ends (December?). Just got to keep busy during the day, read mental health literature, meditation, thinking positive as difficult as that is.

Re: I'm not coping

Hey @MDT, I can hear that you're really going through a lot. To be navigating work and uni and an internship - let alone in the middle of a pandemic - I'd honestly be surprised if anyone would be totally ok in these circumstances!

Of course we all simply want to be able to cope; truly, I know it's frustrating and hard and feels terrible to not be ok. I also think its understandable, though, if sometimes we we're not ok- given how hard things are.

So I don't think that you're a loser in life - it sounds like you're handling a great deal, and it's hard, but you're also great at reaching out to others, and have solid resilience to have a drive to keep on going. The opposite of a loser- I think you have more positive qualities than you might give yourself credit for 🌻

I'm sorry to hear that things are particularly hard right now, though. Sending support

@Clawde @Former-Member @StuF
thanks friends
it's hard
I am finding uni is beyond me.. this subject is actually just above my level of comprehension or understanding. They haven't taught anything. It makes it impossible to understand without any background knowledge
It's making me depressed and anxious

Re: I'm not coping

Sounds very hard @MDT

But all power to you for giving it a crack!

I don't know anything about uni. Is there any system for assistance?

Re: I'm not coping

There is a server someone made on discord - like zoom chats - that is kinda helping.

My plan is to just tackle the assignments as that comprises a significant amount of the course. Then I can worry about the rest of class contributions
@StuF
