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.
I'm not telling my family, and psych triage won't help. They think I'm fine.

If everyone thinks I'm fine, maybe I am fine, then @outlander

Re: Not Coping
Not really, @Birdofparadise8. I don’t really have anything good or untriggering to say

Re: Not Coping
@Birdofparadise8, I have an evening class, I can keep myself distracted, it won’t heal anything but at least I won’t actively think about other things . I don’t want to load too much on your plate, and I really do have a migraine, maybe it’s better if I should rest, I’m okay and safe for now, that’s what matters

Re: Not Coping
That's good to hear you have an evening class @creative_writer.
I hope your migraine gets better.
It's okay. I'm home now, all safe. It's not like anyone helped me, anyway. The Police and Hospital did nothing.

Re: Not Coping
It feels like it's said for me, @outlander.
KHL, psych triage, the police, the nurse and the two doctors all said I'm fine.
