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

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Kyle1, thank you. Wishing you the best and sending you lots of positive vibes 💖🫂. You deserve the best from life

@Birdofparadise8, hopefully I’ll recover soon, it’s annoying that I had quite a bit planned next week, not sure if I’ll be able to do it all

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh no @creative_writer

You've been sick a bit the past few weeks.

Maybe Something it going around. Have you talked to your doctor at all.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hope you had an okay day today @Birdofparadise8 .

Please take care and look after yourself at this time.

Also, I know you mentioned somewhere you may need to take a day off work. If you are permanent, you can have a few days 'bereavement leave' which means it doesn't come out of your sick/annual leave. It also means you get paid for taking leave. I think it is up to 3 or 4 days? I'm not 100% sure. Definitely worth asking.

Hey @tyme

Thank you it's been as good as it can be.

Oh okay I was wondering if it would be my sick leave as I only have one day worth.

I hope you’re okay.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Kyle1 that is so good. I didn't even know that.

Maybe you could try that for a couple week @creative_writer and it could help.

Re: Tw Not Coping

oh, a bit of a mess @Birdofparadise8

I'm indulging a fairly consistent fantasy life, for better or worse. Like that 'brass in pocket' song...gonna use my imagination.

It's just after 9:15 now, and already I've laughed, cried, swore, and prayed. Put too much butter on my toast, and I liked it!

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh I'm sorry @Kyle1

I hope you will be okay.

I wouldn't say I'm feeling the best today either.
