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

Hey @Jynx @tyme @Shaz51 @Kyle1 @fluffylight @Bow @creative_writer @outlander

How is everyone today?

I'm in the hospital now, so that's good.

My Pdoc is increasing a med and will put me onto another one in a week. She is also looking into ECT, which is good and bad. If I finish my assignment this weekend, I'll be more comfortable with having the ECT. Maybe I will have to push one exam back, but the other two should be okay.

My Pdoc wants me to tell my Aunt what I did the night I came back to Vic, but if I tell her, she will tell my parents. I also have a bit of leave for the weekend so I can go for a walk.

Hi @Birdofparadise8

So glad you're here! I'm new to the forums and it's a great space. Happy to hear you are comfortable in the hospital and are allowed leave for a walk over the weekend. I value walks in nature finding all sorts of things to wonder at. Do you have any special interests?

Hi @Blackbird11

Nice to meet you. What is your role? I haven't heard of the "Peer Guide".

Yes, it is nice. I am happy to be able to go for a walk. I like running, walking, bike riding and cooking.

Can you or someone help me? I'm not receiving emails when someone replies to my thread this thread. I undid the subscription and redid it, but I'm still not getting any emails @moderator

Re: Not Coping

Thanks for your reply. I am a volunteer through SANE Australia's Peer Guide Program, where we do 10 weeks study and 10 weeks volunteering on the forums. It's been a great process and I am enjoying the space here. As for your technical problem you can issue it here... Technical Feedback Form (sane.org). I have recently joined a cooking class and learning so much, it's actually becoming fun. What's your favorite thing to cook?

Hey @Birdofparadise8 ,

Under 'Post Options' is there an option to 'Subscribe'? If there isn't, it means you are already subscribed. Maybe give it some time? Or log out and log back in?
