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 sure how often I'll be on over the next few days as my parents will be here tomorrow.

hi @Birdofparadise8
Yes, it's a rainy day. And last nite was rather windy, too.
I'm defeated today. 😕
But I will wish you a comforting time with your folks! I'm sure they'll welcome the warmth ☺️

Re: Not Coping
Oh, @Kyle1, I'm sorry you feel defeated. What is happening?
Yeah, it will be nice to see them. I'm unsure how much they will want to talk about me going into the hospital, but I'll have to wait and see.
Do you have anything planned for the day? How are your kids?

Re: Not Coping
they have their projects... and I'm glad for them! @Birdofparadise8
I am planning on overcoming thoughts of sh.. only i don't have a plan as such, except keep my next appointment with the psych and keep fighting against temptation.
I am so tired of feeling invisible and ghosted. If I could, I would probably benefit from a stay in hospital, too... I hope it goes well for you 🙏💓

Re: Not Coping
Hey @tyme, @Kyle1, @Birdofparadise8, sending you all positive vibes 💖. Sorry I’ve been so bad at replying.
@Birdofparadise8, I hope the new approach to therapy helps, having a new approach isn’t such a bad idea. Therapy is about making active steps to improving your life, our thoughts are very powerful in influencing our emotional state.
@Kyle1, you can fight off this temptation, I believe in you. I know it’s hard when you’re struggling, do you have other alternatives you can think off 🫂
