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

Re: Not Coping

Sorry you’re struggling @Birdofparadise8 sometimes crying can be helpful. It lets a lot of emotion out.

do you have a good fan? I think I will sleep with my fan on tonight, it’s been warm here today.

currently my meds are dropped off twice a week by comm mh. I take those doses in front of them, they usually come around 6pm, the other nights someone from my support workers organisation just calls me about 5pm. Supposedly to prompt me to go take my meds- it’s silly really. But it is what it is.

Re: Not Coping

Thank you @Bow yeah, maybe. I have two going one on the wall that isn't very good and another one on the floor like a tower fan, so that does the job. I wish my uni dorms had aircon, but they don't have to put it in, so that's why.

Ah, okay well, I hope it works out for you.

Is your D on school holidays or back at school?
