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 @Birdofparadise8, @outlander, @Shaz51, @tyme. Sending you all lots of positive vibes 💖.

@Birdofparadise8, sorry to hear about your gran 💖🫂

@outlander, your assignment sounds interesting. I just finished a 3000 word one today, it was meant to be due almost two weeks ago, but got there in the end

Re: Tw Not Coping

oh its really not @creative_writer lol but its pretty standard and most of it i can fluff out anyway as its fairly basic. the hardest one is the 2000 word essay as im not really fining the info on their specific question on the target groups

Re: Tw Not Coping

Thank you @outlander @creative_writer

I only talked for like a minute she is very confused with her health issues making it worse and with her dementia.

I feel like it will be a big shock when I see her on Friday.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@outlander, it can be hard to find info on less studied topics. I hope you can find more stuff soon. I think I’m having an essay hangover lol.

@Birdofparadise8, I hope it gets easier for you and your nan 💖🫂. I hope your olive bread turns out good, comfort food can help.

I’m doing good.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Thank you @creative_writer @outlander

I know it's been so hard not seeing her as much. When I was in Hobart, I would see her at least once a week. Now, maybe a couple of times a year. Moving states has been so hard.

Mine is on Bushfires and smoke inhalation and how it affects a person, the pathophysiology, burden of diseases and extrinsic factors. It's been a very hard essay to write.

Re: Tw Not Coping

what was your essay on @creative_writer

oh theres lots of info on aboriginal or LBGTI groups but i dont want to do either of those tbh. i done my last assignments on each of those groups so want to pick another target group.
its not so much finding a group or the info its more the specific questions they want me to answer. i think i might go with young people as i can relate alot of the questions to peer pressure and stigma around mental health in young people it just might take me a little longer to find some of the more harder questions in political context
