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

I am very pleased 😌

Do you want to talk about what's making you sad? @Birdofparadise8

That's good @Blackbird11

I don't know. I'm just so utterly sad, and I want to cry so badly 😩 😭

Re: Not Coping

No need to feel guilty about it but I know how you feel particularly when there is less staff on shift. You could have a conversation with them you can let me know how it goes and I will get back to you or you can let the other moderator this evening know how it went. How do you feel about that @Birdofparadise8? Take care RiverSeal

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, just feeling a bit weak. I had a week full of flashbacks, maybe that’s expected. Don’t worry about me, I’m getting through it.

I hope you feel better soon 💖

Re: Not Coping

Oh I'm sorry @creative_writer how do you help flashbacks?

Thank you I just spoke with a Nurse and we had a little chat about my mood @creative_writer @RiverSeal. She said it could me due to the med change as it can make you worse before you feel better. I just can't stop crying.

Hard feelings @Birdofparadise8

Can you go for a walk, make a cuppa, speak to someone?

Re: Not Coping

I can't speak to my friend he just texted me that he broke up with his boyfriend so now I have to help him. Which I'm happy to do, but it's just hard right when I'm sobbing @Blackbird11

I might go for a walk later.

I hear your sadness @Birdofparadise8

Hugs for you. Sad news about your friend.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, self care is really important. Otherwise you have to heal the traumas with time through lots of work. It’s okay to sometimes take a step back until the emotions are a bit less intense, it’s hard to help people when you’re at the peak
