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

Re: Tw Not Coping

If I have notice, I actually don't mind the longer shifts. I find I can pace myself much better and I feel more productive. That is, if I had the choice, I'd rather work 2 full days than spread it over 4 or 5 days. @Birdofparadise8 @outlander

Re: Tw Not Coping

i cope better when im busy and not focussing on myself @Birdofparadise8 so being busy while its not good helps keep me safe more often then not even if i am exhausted.

@tyme i dont mind the longer shifts either if i have notice but my boss usually rosters me on alternative days anyway so i have a day on./day off which is a pain tbh except on weekends i usually work both days

Re: Tw Not Coping

That is fair enough @tyme I do get that.

What are you doing tomorrow and Sunday other than here?

I'm catching up with my Aunt for Lunch on Sunday and then we are going for a walk, then back to her place to hang with my Uncle and their dog Summer and then my Uncle and I are going to the footy. Carlton are playing so I'm excited. Oh also they are in the top 8 so finals here we come for the first time in ten years.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I get that @outlander

I like it when I'm busy too. If I wasn't, I don't know what I'd do with myself.

Oh, also some more news I've applied for three jobs, so that's exciting. I don't think I like the role I'm in and the staff aren't very good nor are the management @tyme @outlander
