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

Morning @Shaz51 @tyme @creative_writer @Melbcoffeesnob @amber22 @Jynx @Kyle1 @Bow @fluffylight @Blackbird11 @outlander

I hope everyone is having a good day.

I've just had a blood test for my new medication. It's a mood stabiliser, so it will be interesting to see if it helps. I have a bit of a tremor in my hand, which is annoying.

Re: Not Coping

So do I @Shaz51

It's typically used for bipolar, but it can also be used for augmentation with depression.

What was your test for if you don't mind me asking?

Re: Not Coping

Good morning @Birdofparadise8, side effects can be troublesome. I've gained a lot of weight from one of my medications. It's raining here in Tasmania and I've been up early to get some study done. I'm having a break now.
