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

Hi @Birdofparadise8 🙂
Hope your chat goes well KHL

I'm on road to recovery with my own ED, sometimes it helps getting it of my chest even if it the other person doesn't know much about it. I feel like they can offer some reflective questions that I hadn't thought about it before. But I acknowledge this isn't always the case

Hi @fluffylight

Thank you. It's just hard I don't even know why I'm doing this to myself in the first place. It's all I think about most of the time. I though it was going to be like a distraction from my depression but it doesn't seem to work like that. If anything it's make it all worse. My psych said im doing it as its a coping mechanisms.

Re: Not Coping

It's just my depression is really bad, and now I'm struggling with my eating. My gran, on top of that, is getting worse each day.

I just feel so empty @Rockdog I'm sorry.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I acknowledge that its hard for you 💜

I was told it was a coping mechanism for me too.. @Birdofparadise8

That I turned to this as a way to control one part of my life where other part of my life feels out of control

Re: Tw Not Coping

Lots of love to both parts of yourselves 💛 @Birdofparadise8

I hope the part of your brain that tells you to keep going is louder 💛
