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.
I've kinda just buried myself in movies and instagram reels.
My anxiety has flared up again and I recently went through another trauma.
@Birdofparadise8 I'm trying to escape I guess

Re: Tw Not Coping
@Kyle1, it’s okay to distract ourselves with movies and social media. I watch cute cat videos and they make my day. Facebook knows cats interest me, once you watch a video, Facebook sort of bombards you with more. I don’t mind it in this context. It’s just creepy when Facebook knows about the stuff you buy.
You can get through this anxiety, you always have been able to get through it, I believe in you. You can process things when you feel ready, trauma is very recent for you. It can be hard to address a very recent wound. Needing space is normal, I know I needed space when things happened to me

Re: Tw Not Coping
@Birdofparadise8, at least I’m okay emotionally. Physical stuff I can handle, emotional stuff get really hard.
I’m having dinner soon too. My mum made some spinach, might eat it with omelette
