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

Hello lovely @Shaz51 💜😊

@Birdofparadise8 It does suck to feel alone. You could give the folks at sane a buzz and chat to someone? Might help to slow the thoughts a bit.

Re: Not Coping

I don't know. I don't want to burden anyone. I also don't like talking to a stranger @Jynx

I only spoke to my regular at KHL yesterday.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 everyone is a stranger till you get to know em - what was it like chatting to your regular at first?

Up to you of course. And also up to you on how you might help break out of the spiralling thoughts. What do you think you can do to support yourself this evening?

Re: Not Coping

I know, but it's different when I tell them all this stuff about me, and I don't know them.

Well, with her, I was initially talking to someone else, but she left, and I had previously had a session with the one I talk to now, and I actually didn't really like her to begin with, but now, gosh, I don't know where I would be without her. It was hard, but it was over a year ago now we have been working together. However, with SANE, you get a different person depending on who picks up the call. I wish the web chat were still around, to be honest @Jynx

Yes, breaking the cycle. I'm not sure about that one. I was getting dinner and telling myself how I'm so worthless, a waste of space, and a pathetic loser who doesn't deserve to live. I'm like, how do I live with that for the rest of my life? All that negative self-talk. It's not very nice. It just shows how bad I am, which is just me being even harder on myself. I literally can't win right now. Sorry, @Jynx, I'm in some self-destructive hating myself and being my own bully right now mode.

Re: Not Coping

No, not really I was going to go inpatient today, but I have a cold, so they wouldn't let me in @tyme.

Did you see what I said to Jynx?

Re: Not Coping

Argh.... @Birdofparadise8 , fair enough. Hope you feel better soon. So did they push back your admission date?
