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

@Birdofparadise8, but I do need to be mindful of red flags. This is probably the most stability I’ve had for a while, I hope I don’t go back in

Re: Tw Not Coping

Mmm its my fault @outlander

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hey @Birdofparadise8 - caffeine affects everyone differently, and if you don't usually have it day-to-day, it can definitely feel pretty strong. Add in all the other stuff that energy drinks have (like taurine and ginseng) and it's no surprise it hit you pretty hard. It will subside though - hopefully has by now.

I hope that you're safe? Glad you've got a psych appt coming up so you can get some extra support for what is happening for you at the moment.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I think I'm fine caffeine wise @Jynx

I knew the drop would happen. I'm just coming home now I've just gone for a walk.

The caffeine isn't to do with me eating.

How are you?
