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

It maybe depends on how my thinking is @tyme

I'll see how full I am with my fish, veg and homemade chips.

I don't know if you saw any of my posts about food.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hi @Birdofparadise8 and @Shaz51, I hope you are both doing well. Been in a self deprecating mindset lately

Re: Tw Not Coping

What's happened @creative_writer

I don't know how I feel. I guess a bit sad, but I'm trying to move it to the side, but I don't think that is working in my favour.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Food? @Birdofparadise8

You are doing very well @Birdofparadise8 . Don't dwell on what the negative. Have a look at your progress.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, aww, I’m sorry.

I relapsed into SH yesterday and I feel so ashamed. I’m a social work placement student, I’ve been studying MH since I was a undergrad student, been a lifeline crisis supporter, and yet, I turned to SH to cope

Re: Tw Not Coping

I can't say I know much about eating disorders @Birdofparadise8 . I've experienced disordered eating, but I'm no expert.
