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: Not Coping

Hey @creative_writer @Kyle1 @outlander @Jynx @fluffylight @Shaz51

How is everyone today?

I had lunch with my friend at uni. We were talking about a few things, and he wanted to see if I had much luck finding a psychiatrist. I said no, as the waitlist is about six months.

Content/trigger warning

He said as a joke, 'Why don't you try to end your life? Then they might put you at the top of the wait list.' I didn't really like him saying that right after I had tried to.

I wasn't expecting that from him, even if it was a joke.

Re: Not Coping

yeah, even if was unintentional, people can say some really dumb things, can't they @Birdofparadise8

But hey, you're getting stronger and beyond that, yes?

You've got a future ahead of you and you're doing such work towards it. Don't give up yet, lassie! 🙂🫂

Re: Not Coping

Yes, very much so. I don't get why he would say that especially considering I am suicidal.

No, I'm not past it @Kyle1

Content/trigger warning

I had the worst thought. Why not take more than people will actually listen to me? Actually, see I need help. That's really bad. I can't even believe I'm saying it.

Not that I will take anymore, though I am safe.

Hey @Kyle1
