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

Not me you ought to be apologising to @Birdofparadise8 - perhaps you could try to apologise to yourself? Sometimes it can feel super uncomfortable to be kind to ourselves, but it does make a difference in my experience.

And with calling someone, you don't need to tell them anything about yourself. You can just say, "I'm having a tough time, I'm alone at the moment and feel like I might spiral..." and go from there. Then you can say as much or as little as you feel comfortable. Up to you.

They just said for me to call them when I'm feeling better @tyme

So hopefully, I can go in on Friday. I'm feeling physically better today compared to yesterday so maybe one more day of rest will help.

Re: Not Coping

Maybe I do need to, but I'm not sure it will do anything. I'm my own worst enemy, which is very annoying. Living in my head 24/7 and belittling myself is just great.

I guess so. I'll see how I go. I need to go to the chemist and get my meds, and I want some ice cream, so I'll get that and see how I feel once I come back @Jynx

Re: Not Coping

Sounds like a good plan @Birdofparadise8 - especially the ice cream!

@Shaz51 what sort of factors are part of the decision?

Re: Not Coping

Thanks @Shaz51

I just went to the chemist to get my meds and I was going to get the whole box with going into hospital but apparently I need a letter from my doctor @Jynx @tyme

Re: Not Coping

To totally retire @Jynx or to do a couple of jobs

At the moment Mr shaz has his hand I plaster for the next 4 weeks and our car is in the mechanic waiting for parts

I am on DSP and

I have put through the medical certificate for Mr shaz

And 2 of our customers is happy to wait until we can come back

Re: Not Coping

Sounds wise of them @Birdofparadise8

Hmm @Shaz51 a tough decision. Have you made a pros and cons list? A cliche I know, but it can really help to have it all laid out on the table.

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

I guess for safety, but I'll now need to contact the clinic to ask the Pdoc to write a letter @Jynx

Or just take what I have and get more meds in the hospital.
