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

@Kyle1, been drinking tea. What have you been up to this afternoon?

@Birdofparadise8, life can be unpredictable. Do reach out for support if you need to. I’ve heard Griefline is really good 💖

Re: Tw Not Coping

well, this afternoon I have made Anzac biscuits for the first time. @creative_writer and holding my armour against continued claims that being victimised by violence is somehow my fault...

It's tiring, and it's debilitating, and I just want to become invisible. At the same time I long for reassurance and genuine care.

I have lost faith in my church and community in general.

Re: Tw Not Coping

It's so awful to hear that you're being treated this way @Kyle1. It was not your fault, it is never ever okay to abuse another and even more not okay to blame the victim for being the subject of said abuse. I'm not surprised you've lost faith in your church after that. Have you gotten any support for what has happened?

1800respect and mensline might be worth getting in touch with. You deserve genuine care and compassion no matter what.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I've tied those numbers @Jynx thank you.

I didn't find them helpful, unfortunately.

IDK... I recognise changes and scare tissue taking hold in me and though it hurts, I am going along with it. For I have seen trees split, broken, and bent to the ground, yet they continue to grow and flower how ever they can when their season comes. I have to believe I might be able to do that, too.

even if it hurts..

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Kyle1, I hope the forums can become a safe community for you, I know it’s not the same, sending you lots of hugs 🫂. Victim blaming is never okay. Do reach out if you need to, as @Jynx has suggested

Hi @Jynx, how are you?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Kyle1, sorry to hear those numbers did not help. Have you tried reaching out to SANE, I personally find them more helpful than the other helplines.

You can grow and flourish into a stronger person, I believe God puts us through tests to build us up
