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

Wow. That's a lot @Birdofparadise8 . And it'll just go up.

I did have to pay for one unit though because I didn't do any work at all. So I had to redo that unit (obviously).

Re: Tw Not Coping

Ah okay @tyme

How did you get all the scholarships?

How many degrees do you have?

Re: Tw Not Coping

4 degrees @Birdofparadise8 . I apply for them in areas that I'm interested in.

For example, I'm linked in with a number of health services, and I get emails about opportunities that are available.

There have been leadership ones in mental health that I might consider later.

Re: Tw Not Coping

You're right @Birdofparadise8 ! I spent most of my life studying. This is the second year in my life I haven't studied since beginning preschool when i was 4-5 years old. LOL

Re: Tw Not Coping

That's a long time @tyme no pun intended.

I don't know why it's so cold I have the heater on but my hands are freezing. Are you cold?

Re: Tw Not Coping

I've been saying it's been a bone chilling cold all day today @Birdofparadise8 . It has only been max 12 degrees. You are right in saying it's cold.

GO have a hot shower.

I'm not cold anymore. I've had the fireplace, heater and oodie on.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah so cold @tyme

I'll probably hop into bed soon so that will keep me warm.

What are you doing tomorrow?

I'm working 12-7:30
