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

Do you feel seen and heard by your psychiatrist @Birdofparadise8 ?

Re: Not Coping

Yes she is great and so are my aunt and uncle @Blackbird11

They have been a huge support for me. I feel very uncomfortable talking to my parents about my MH.

Re: Not Coping

I find it hard to have conversations with my Dad @Birdofparadise8 my Mum has passed and she was a great support to me. The value of good support is priceless.

Re: Not Coping

Yeah I think it's just a thing I'll never be good at with my Mum and Dad. I'm 20 now and I've found it hard to be open with them since I was 5 so I don't think it will change anytime soon. I'm just happy I have my aunt, uncle, Pdoc, psych, GP and regular at KHL and also here with SANE and RO.

I'm sorry about your Mum @Blackbird11

Re: Not Coping

Tomorrow I plan to do a walk in the morning, then study and check out the forums in the afternoon and catching up with a friend in the evening.

What are you doing tomorrow @Birdofparadise8 ?

Re: Not Coping

That sounds nice @Blackbird11

I'm just going to work on an assignment myself and then go for a walk a little later. It's going to be 29 here today.
