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

I guess let's hope so hey @creative_writer

Yeah, I get that. I don't like talking to my parents either.

Trust is a big thing.

My hands are annoying me so much. I hope this tremor goes away or not as bad before my exam on the 3rd of November. It's in person so I'll need to be able to write and I can't if it keeps shaking all the time. I hope my Pdoc can come up with something to fix it or at least make it not as bad.

Re: Not Coping

I like to paint @Birdofparadise8 always got a paint by numbers on the go. I’m also half way through a Disney Lego castle build. I enjoy building Lego. Like my plants too.

Re: Not Coping

Do you do any other painting than paint by numbers @Bow?

Lego sounds fun. I don't know when I last built Lego.

Re: Not Coping

Yeah I do do some freehand painting occasionally @Birdofparadise8 drawing too. But I like paint by numbers…. I can paint without having to think too much, which is good for my mental health. I paint most days. It’s part of my routine.

That sounds fun @Bow

Would you know anything about making paint thick so you can smear it on a canvas or not really?

How are you going with your Mum being away? It's nice you have her support like you do.

Re: Not Coping

Yeah you can get something to mix in with your paint. It gives it texture. I have some in my paint supply cart but no idea what it’s called. You’d get it at any arts and craft store… or some cheap shops with good art supplies @Birdofparadise8 its a white paste but it doesn’t change the colour of your paint.

Going alright with mum away. It’s been nice just my daughter and I.

Re: Not Coping

Okay I'll have to look into it. I'm wanting to try and do some painting, but I don't want to spend a lot of money as I've lost my job @Bow

When does she come back? It's nice you're having a good time.
