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

Hey @outlander @Kyle1 @tyme @creative_writer @Jynx @Bow @Shaz51

How is everyone?

I didn’t tell my aunt about what happened I’m not sure what to do. If I should have told her or not.

Re: Not Coping

Hey @Birdofparadise8, how are you doing today? I understand that you are going through a challenging time with work at the moment. I have had many challenging times in previous jobs when I didn't have my MH being treated and had little insight and knowledge about what I was going through. I know it can be really tough and hard to see past what is happening. Take care RiverSeal

Hey @RiverSeal

Mmm I’m getting by I’ve just had breakfast with my aunt it was nice but I’m a bit disappointed I didn’t tell her what I did last Sunday. I just don’t want her to tell my parents.
Yes work is a bit stressful right now. I’m really not looking forward to the meeting. I just feel like I’m going to cry and it will be so embarrassing crying in front of my boss.
How are you?

Re: Not Coping

Hey @Birdofparadise8, sometimes we do things and it takes a while to be able to sit with it or talk about it with others. I encourage you to continue to seek support and talk through your thoughts and feelings about your MH.

If you do cry then that's ok you know. We are emotional beings and when we have MH all these emotions can be increased. I know I was very emotional for a long time and was literally crying all the time. It went on for a couple of years and it was a very difficult time, particularly in public or at work.

I'm doing pretty well thanks and getting used to the warmer weather. I love winter and I find it hard to let it go this time of the year. I am looking forward to summer in parks and sitting on my balcony instead of the lounge room. Makes my world feel bigger and I get a different view of life!

Have you been on your bike this weekend or enjoy the warmer weather outside?

Take care

Hi @RiverSeal

Yeah I know it’s just hard I guess I’ll see how things go.
I guess but it’s just so embarrassing being at work. I don’t know if they fully know how bad my MH is. They know I went inpatient a few months ago.
No not today I had breakfast with my aunt and just doing some shopping. I got a dress that was $110 for $15 I couldn’t believe it such a good score.
I have three assignments due so I need to get them done.
Where are you based? I’m in Vic. It’s such a nice day today.

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

That is a good score @Birdofparadise8! Gotta love a bargain when you are out clothes shopping.

I'm in Melbourne and yeah it's such a nice day here today. I'm looking forward to a nice walk later this afternoon. I went yesterday and I had a jumper on still and I got really hot so can't do that at the moment.

Assignments can build up at uni so good to stay on top of them if you can. It can be refreshing to practice some self-care and get out too so if you have time make the most of a few minutes or so.

Take care

hi @Birdofparadise8

Are you feeling isolated by this?

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

I know, right so good @RiverSeal

It is such a lovely day. I'm going to see the Aus Ballet School showcase tonight.

Hey @Kyle1

Isolated from work, MH or something else, are you asking me?

How are you?
