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.
It is so hard @Birdofparadise8 I acknowledge that Loosing someone is so hard 💛 You are so strong
depression really has its days and makes all things dim away - light is around and will always be there.. I never thought I could feel light again but to my surprise I did. I still struggle with the sadness and depression but it isn't forever 💛

Re: Tw Not Coping
@Birdofparadise8, grief can get better too. It’s never going to be the same again, but life can get better.
@fluffylight, it’s a shame when free trials end. But then they have to make a profit. What were you watching on prime? I’m doing good emotionally, but eating a bit too much snot, it’s gone down my throat, but I think my flu like symptoms are easing at least

Re: Tw Not Coping
I really don't see how it will get better.
Either things with my gran or my depression. I just want to be with her. She means the world to me.
Thank you though @creative_writer@fluffylight
I think light is very far away.

Re: Tw Not Coping
I was watching the office @creative_writer might have to go back on online websites with a bunch of ads
Ah the flu, hope you're getting in some rest - is it the springtime?

@fluffylight, that’s ads are frustrating, YouTube didn’t used to have so many ads before. I’m probably experiencing a mixture of Hayfever and viral

Re: Tw Not Coping
She is the most important person in my life @fluffylight
She is one of the most influential people in my life. We had such a close relationship she told me one day when we went on a walk that I am her best friend and the means the world to me. We become so close in the past few years and I wish I could have been here more for her this year since I've moved to Vic but I couldn't.
Thank you I will see the light at some stage I guess.

Re: Tw Not Coping
@Birdofparadise8, grief isn’t easy, people go through different stages and at their own pace, it’s still very new for you, don’t be too hard on yourself, you’re reaction is valid.
It seems I’ve been sick a lot lately. Gotta thank the enormous amount of stress I was in in July and August. Even my period was sort of late-ish.
@fluffylight, maybe I’m just old, I remember the old YouTube without ads. Yes, I’ve been drinking tea, sort of resting and sort of not. Does studying from home count as resting?
