Something’s not right

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

@Birdofparadise8 that sounds really difficult hun. Do you think that's a helpful thought to dwell on? Can you think of another way to approach it?

Re: Not Coping

Probably not the best thing to think about @Jynx

I'm not sure. I just feel like I'm going around in circles, and it's never ending.

Re: Not Coping

Best way to break out of a cycle is to do something different @Birdofparadise8. What could you do differently?

Sometimes it's as simple as taking the time to do something creative, embrace your inner child. Like you could get real messy with some finger painting, or do some colouring in.

Re: Not Coping

I guess so, but I don't have much energy right now. Maybe I might do something if I'm not feeling as sick tomorrow. I will talk to my KHL regular tonight, so that will be good. Maybe I'll stop crying by then, too.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 yeah fair enough, plenty of rest is much needed, especially so you can recover more quickly. I'm glad you'll have a chat with your regular tonight too. You got something good to watch on tv in the meantime?
