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

That is part of the reason why my mum knows nothing @creative_writer. She has no idea of my MI and what’s been happening. It’s my life and I don’t need her judgement and snide remarks

Yeah I’m feeling pretty flat as well @Captain24 not very fun at all, hey.

Did your GP say anything about you missing the dose?

@amber22 toast is good. Nausea hasn’t been the worst at least. I love tea during migraines, it’s so soothing. What kind of tea do you like? I’m a herbal tea person ❤️

@Captain24 sending you a hug❤️. I think I grew up in enmeshed relationship with my mum. So her overprotectiveness sometimes feels too much at times. I’ve tried breaking free but it’s hard.

Tea is sooo good! ❤️ I love herbal tea too, my fav at the moment is berry tea, but I also enjoy matcha. I didn't realise it had a bit of caffeine in it though so trying not to have it at night time since I found out, especially tonight because I need a good sleep. What herbal tea is your fav? @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

It is a pretty cool job! After nearly 5 years I still sometimes look at some of the gear and go WOW. @amber22. Just some perspective, you climb 22 stairs to get on a truck!

I don’t go back to work until tomorrow night so I have some chill time. I’m just watching some tv and chilling with Pix.

I have a bit of a headache. I’m not sure if it’s because I missed one of last nights meds and I don’t have it for tonight either. If I miss one I go manic so I’m scared as to what 2 will do! I have an anti-psychotic that I’ve taken instead so hopefully that stops it.

Anyhow enough about me. How was your day

@amber22 I drink matcha mixed with ginger and also love chamomile floral blend teas. I’ve also tried berry and liked that one too ❤️

Re: Tw Not Coping

It does suck @Birdofparadise8. I’m sorry that you feel like that. For me it’s kinda good as I’m not in a crisis.


None of my team know. I will go and pick them up tomorrow at the chemist. I just can’t be manic at my psychiatrist appointment Thursday. I am worried as to what missing 2 will do. But I am taking the anti-psychotic instead.

Yeah my mum has always been overprotective @creative_writer . She comes into my house and goes through things. She always wants to know where I am and what I’m doing. I’ve been lucky enough to have not been seen at the doctors. They probably drive past there twice a day. If I’m on the phone she has to know how. If she can tell someone has been at my house she has to know why! I just want to add I am 45 and live in my own home! Yea my mum is my biggest trigger.

Re: Tw Not Coping

22 stairs to get into the truck! That sounds absolutely amazing! What a cool job, you have made my night! @Captain24

Oh no, are you able to get more meds tomorrow? Or anytime soon? I hope that your headache goes away, try get an early night tonight if you can.

My day was alright, I had a big migraine earlier today so I was lying in a dark room for a few hours of it, but it forced me to take some time to rest which I think my body really needed. When I am getting overworked it is almost as if my body says 'stop or I will make you'! Just taking it easy tonight and trying to relax 🙂
