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

your essay sounds more interesting to me @Birdofparadise8 my brain is so health orientated it would keep me interested long enough to write the essay!


it would be hard moving away from family. maybe you can increase your phone calls to family members to help with the connection. at least you have your aunt and uncle near you

Re: Tw Not Coping

I talk to my parent more than my aunt and uncle now.

I can only see them every three weeks @outlander

I talk to my parents either not at all for a few days or a lot, lol.

I would prefer a nutrition essay

Re: Tw Not Coping

I don't talk to my parents about MH though @outlander

It's just too hard. I might say general things but nothing more.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, moving away does make a difference. It’s hard when grandparents aren’t doing well and not knowing how they are doing😔. My mum had to fly out to see gran. Gran is out of the hospital now, thankfully

@outlander, it was on ageing and Alzheimer’s disease, we were also given case studies and had to chose from one. I can see why you would chose young people. Youth mental health is really fascinating, but I think being young does make it relatable

@Birdofparadise8, I don’t know, I wasn’t told much. What I know is she is better and out, just not back to her usual self yet

Re: Tw Not Coping

Ah ok @creative_writer

It’s a toss up between young people and prisoners but I think I can do young people abit better as it’s my age bracket so can use personal experiences. The other are the standard ones for target groups.


Yeah I get that @Birdofparadise8
