I can’t cope

It saddens me to know you feel you get in people’s way, upset others or cause trouble.

please know none of these have ever been the case with me.

I respect your decision regarding tagging @Captain24 💜💜

@Flutterbug9 Hello lovely. How are you? We will be here on those dates you mentioned to support you.

These holidays are awful for so many people and lets me honest other than the forums the support is not there with government having no real solid hekp with chronic mental illness.

Are you home tonight? I am.

@Cuddlebear I’ll be home tonight and in bed well before midnight. At community hall where I live there will be a New Year Eve evening. Last year there was a musician, music if people wanted to dance and went until after midnight. Not for me, not my type of thing.

my two 4 legged furry housemates and I will have quiet evening together watching DVD, no different than any evening.

how does your furry housemate go with loud noises?

I live in 55+ village, won’t be any fireworks thank goodness

Not sure if I’m welcome on this thread but I don’t have any other thread to go too, sorry.

Just popping in as it’s new years and I’m home alone with my two babies. It’s just another night but it feels isolating. I’m not doing very well. No one has even contacted me. I’m nothing to anyone. I don’t even see the point anymore.

Lucky for my babies. I love them so much. Even though Pix is annoying me right now! They need me though. Neither would cope if something happened to me. So I need to be here.

Im now safe

Of course you are welcome my friend 🧡 @Captain24

Sorry Pix is being annoying at the moment, is she hungry, thirsty or just wants to play

@avant-garde said it is 61 hours when peer support workers come back from holidays

Of course you are welcome @Captain24 ! Can I give you a big virtual hug? (not sure if you like them?)

It sounds like you matter a lot to your pets. 😍 What breed are they?
(I am a dog-lover so I can talk about pets all night lol -- feel free to add in any stories of them!)

One of my 2 dogs is apparently not coping too great whilst I am away from home this time. 😥 They are still at home with my mother and her dog, and my ex (their "dad" owner) is still visiting them every day. But apparently she cries when left alone, which she has never done before when I have gone away. She even had some runny toileting inside, which I strongly suspect is stress-related. I'll be back home on Sunday. Thankfully my ex has offered to stay overnight with her if she is still upset tonight - that might help her, as he only moved out 3 months ago and spends weekends with him normally.

Feel welcome to come hang out in the New years eve hang-out thread. But I can also understand if you don't feel comfortable doing so, as I know you have had some negative experiences that have hurt you.

Feel free to tag me all night as I will be checking in periodically whilst I am awake. 🙂

Take care @Captain24 , and please do reach out. Happy to chat about your feelings if it helps. I often have SI also, I am not scared to talk about it.

Hello @Captain24, it's so lovely to see you here and of course you are welcome always ❤️.

Sending you hugs, we are here for you. I'm alone tonight aswell, but we have the community here to connect with so we aren't truly alone.

I'm on my own tonight too @Captain24

Sitting with you. You're not nothing to your forum family and to those who are here with you tonight.

Oh @Captain24 I’m so sorry to hear how you are feeling. Sending big hugs 🫂

you are definitely welcome here 💜

I have been worried about you.

have been respecting your decision about tagging.

its good to hear both your dogs are with you, know how important they are to you.

Pix just wanted a treat but she had one last night, I caved though and gave her one.

Sorry I posted on here. I’ll find another thread to air my stuff so I don’t interrupt the chat you all have going on. I get overwhelmed with having a lot of people around. That’s just my bad social anxiety. Which is probably the reason I’m so alone.

I really do appreciate all your kind and supportive responses though. I don’t usually get many. Please don’t think I’m unappreciative because I really do appreciate it. I’m actually surprised that people actually care especially about me.

I have 2 chihuahuas. A 6 year old female Pix and a 2 year old black male Jett. They are my lifeline.

Im sorry you all are struggling. I really hope things ease a little for you all.

I wish you all the best for the new year and hope that things may start to look up for you during the year. Even if it’s just some good moments.

I despise the tagging of everyone but I need to let you all know at once.

Im really sorry for doing it and it makes me feel needy. Which I don’t want to feel. I won’t do it again. I don’t like group tags.
