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

I'm sorry @Kyle1 I hope you’re going to be okay.

Yeah I think it will be good for me. I really need a circuit break.

Hey @tyme

How are you?

We had lunch with my uncle, aunt, second cousin and her husband and son. It was very nice. Now dad wants to go to the races but that will be so boring but oh well.

I wonder when they will want to talk about the inevitable with me going back into hospital.

Re: Not Coping

Thank you, @creative_writer ...

You are very sweet. 💖

I just cant get motivated... 😪 and the tide continues to roll in. I've mentioned securing a new psychologist and beginning new meds. I have that much to assist me. But day to day...I'm paralysed.

I've been reaching out as much as I can, but... the kind of help I need for day to day stuff, I just can't find.

I'm sorry to bemoan. I just wanted to say that in the face of all my crap, I appreciate your kind words 🙏

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I’m good, been exhausted. I’m studying full time, and still experience lower grade migraines and chronic fatigue.

@Kyle1, it’s okay, sometimes it takes a while to find help. I find navigating the MH system to be challenging in Australia. It shouldn’t be this complicated, but it is. It’s okay to take it easy some days, you’ve been through a lot, even getting up and getting through the day safely is an achievement

Re: Not Coping

Oh no really @creative_writer

Has nothing helped with the migraines and fatigue?

How is uni going? Did you not do full-time last semester?

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, technically I’m considered full time for the first half of the year too, I feel a bigger workload this semester. My migraines aren’t as bad, but I guess these things take time to resolve.

What have you been up to today?

Re: Not Coping

Ah nice I hope it's going okay @creative_writer

When does your semester finish.

Mum and Dad came over today so it's nice to see them. We went out for lunch with my aunt, uncle, second cousin on my mum's side and her family. Now my parents and I are going to the races.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I guess however long it takes to finish my hours.

It sounds like you had a lovely day with your family. I hope you enjoy going to the races

Re: Not Coping

Ah okay @creative_writer

Do you know have like a set amount of units? Is it just placement?

The races was fun in the end other than the bar man was taking so long to get the drinks it was very annoying.

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

How are you all tonight? I had the Australian ballet on today which was amazing they did Swan Lake. My parents and I went out to a lovely Greek restaurant for dinner which was good. I'm feeling a bit flat now, but I've been trying to hide it. I hope it doesn't get worse once I get home.
