Something’s not right

Not Coping

Not Coping

Hey everyone how are you all?

@RiverSeal @Shaz51 @NatureLover @tyme @Former-Member @Eve7 @Former-Member @amber22 @Jynx @FloatingFeather

I'm not doing great at all today. I'm feeling down. I also keep beating myself up for everything and feel like I'm just failing. I need a break from everything. It's getting so hard that I don't know how to keep going anymore especially since I can't talk to anyone around me as they are leaving me or don't understand.

Hope you don’t mind me reaching out I just really need a chat and though I could come on here and vent and talk for a bit.

Thank you

Re: Tw Not Coping

I'm just worried about what they will say @creative_writer.

I don't see my psychologist till the 23rd.

Oh, I hope you're okay @creative_writer I'm here with you.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Ah okay what are you watching @outlander

I would like to go for a bike ride, then I'll come home do some washing and try and do some of my assignments. Then it will be time to go.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, they are there to help you, it’s good to address issues sooner rather than later.

I didn’t expect my placement to affect my mental health this much, I have reduced the days per week, I still have set hours to complete, but will be doing it over a longer period of time.

@outlander, you are getting there. Do you have anything to look forward after work?

Re: Tw Not Coping

not really @creative_writer still have to be a carer so dont really ever 'clock off' so to speak but i think ill watch some tv and maybe try and get a load of washing or 2 done as we are suppose to get a fair bit of rain across the next couple of days.

sorry your placement is affecting you so much. its hard to know whether to just ride it out or reduce capacity. sounds like reducing your hours and having more time to complete it works for you though. hopefully it gets abit easier over time

Re: Tw Not Coping

I guess I'll see how things go @creative_writer

I hope you'll be able to manage placement with the changes.

I'm just waiting for the train @outlander
