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

Re: Tw Not Coping

I am wondering about it @outlander

The other day, I was upset about chocolate.

Content/trigger warning
I'm on a diet right now, but I feel once I get to the weight I want, it won't be enough.

I talked to someone at the butterfly thing online to get more info about it all, which was helpful.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I still have so many questions, though @outlander

I don't know if this would be a part of my depression as well. Like I'm punishing myself.

Re: Tw Not Coping

i can try and answer some of your questions @Birdofparadise8 if that might help, obviously i can only go off my ownexperiences and within reason but i can try

it could be, but i cant say. depression and anxiety or any mental health issue can manifest in many ways., many of which often find ourselves finding ways to punish ourselves.
