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

It was a nice day @outlander

Yeah, I froze and my dad was there as well. It was too much for me and I didn't want to have to go over everything I am feeling, and for them both to be like oh Laura you shouldn't feel that way or it's my fault etc.

Re: Not Coping

Oh @Birdofparadise8 .

Be kinder to yourself. Sometimes, having a planned admission is a way to give ourselves a bit of respite and to reset. It's absolutely okay and nothing to be ashamed of.

I've had many planned admissions - the longest being 6 weeks. But this was not an inpatient stay. It was at a prevention and recovery centre. But these stays are what I needed to stay well.

If they ask next time, perhaps you can say that it's just for a bit of respite from the din of this world?

Re: Not Coping

Yeah, I'll try @tyme

Yes, I do hope it will be like that to give me an edge off and know I'm somewhere safe. Otherwise not working over the next week or so. I don't think I would be able to stay safe.

What is a 'din of this word'?

Re: Not Coping

Have you got another job lined up for you yet? @Birdofparadise8

When I said 'din of the world', I meant the noise, confusion and chaos of the world 🙂 Never heard of the phrase?
