Not Coping

Yeah thank you I feel it will be a bit of an adjustment, but I just don't want to get worse when I go home @amber22

Are there some things you could do to make sure that you have some time for yourself so that you don't get worse when you're home? @Birdofparadise8

Things that might help to ground you or make you feel a bit better if you start to not feel good?

I've got my painting I am starting, cooking, bike riding, I also have an exam on Friday next week so study for that. It's just night time is the worst for me and I don't have as much to do at that time @amber22

Hi @Birdofparadise8

I'm available to chat. How are you?

Hi @Blackbird11

Not very good. I'm on the train I have to go back to uni and get something and all I want to do is cry.

How are you?

That's hard for you @Birdofparadise8

I'm doing ok today feeling a bit listless though.

That sounds really good that you've got some things lined up that you know help you when you're starting to feel down @Birdofparadise8

Maybe at night you could come up with some things that might help - like reading, journalling, listening to music/ podcasts, popping something on to watch etc.

It's good that you're aware of the time of day when it's most likely to hit you the most, so you can try and think of things to do to help!

Omg I just saw someone I haven't seen in months because she didn't want to talk to me because of my mental health. It was the most awkward conversation and I had to lie and say I'm better. Now I'm sobbing in my room @amber22 @Blackbird11

Why do I feel so awful @amber22 @Blackbird11

I'm a complete wreak after seeing her.

It's hard @Birdofparadise8

Not a nice situation to deal with. Stigma is a hard thing to tackle, be gentle with yourself. You did the best you could.
