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

Hi @Shaz51 @tyme @Former-Member @Captain24 @PositivePossum6 @RiverSeal @Former-Member @NatureLover @FloatingFeather

Hope everyone is well.


Does anyone know how I can try an manage suicidal thoughts while at work because they keep distracting me and I just wish I could concentrate on the work I have to do. They seem to come in waves sometimes stronger and other times not as much.

Thank you

Hi @Birdofparadise8

Sorry you are having those thoughts. Can we think of them as just thoughts and let them float by?

One thing @tyme suggested to me was to ‘park’ a good memory in front of them. I have a photo of Pixie all muddy that I use. It makes me smile!

Do you have a memory from childhood that makes you smile?

Re: Not Coping

Hi @Birdofparadise8,

I'm sorry that you are having these thoughts - it must be quiet distracting when you are at work. I'm just going to send you an email to check in with you. If you could reply when you could I would really appreciate it.

Warm regards,

FloatingFeather

Re: Not Coping

@Captain24 I really love your suggestion from @tyme. I think `parking' a good memory in front of a negative memory is a great idea.

I also think that photo of your fur baby is gorgeous, and definitely made me smile!

Re: Not Coping

Thank you @FloatingFeather @Captain24

I mostly have them when at home and stuff so it just so annoying that they like to creep up at work I'll be okay though.

I will have a think of something and see if that helps.

Re: Not Coping

I wasn’t smiling at the time @FloatingFeather. It was my brand new house and the turf hadn’t been later yet. I yelled at her to not touch the walls then grabbed her and put her in the bath. It’s pretty funny now though. 18 months later and I can now laugh at it.

Re: Not Coping

Hey @Birdofparadise8 ,

How are you? What's been happening? uni life? dance life? tv life? home life?

Hope you are well.

By the way, what's the answer to the 20 questions item?

Re: Not Coping

Hi @tyme

The answer was a laptop I think.

I'm not great but I'm here at least so that's the main thing. I had work today so that was okay. Ballet is going well 9 days till the dance concert. I just can't stop having the suicidal thoughts that are so awful, but I am safe so that all good.

How are you?
