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

im just working from home today @Birdofparadise8 its pretty hot here so getting all my washing done thats been piling up before i go back to work more.

maybe you could find a study group at the uni. having a group might help you concentrate or study information rather then just reading by yourself. i use to mini quizes

Re: Not Coping

I was going to do a study session with my friend, but he went home so I can't do that now.

I literally have no one other than my aunt and uncle, who both won't text me back from yesterday morning. Not that I'm waiting. It was an important message, and they usually would have responded by now; I guess there just busy, which is fine.

I have SANE, RO, KHL, my psych and GP, but that is all professional. Not one friend. I'm so lonely. Please don't tell me to challenge my thought because it's true. I'm so utterly alone, and I deserve to be alone because no one cares about me or wants to be around me. I'm such a loser and shouldn't be here.

I'm sorry @outlander

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 can you do like a video call or a phone call with the friend that went home? you could still talk and that sort of thing even if its not studying

have you tried looking into support groups for mental health? or other groups in the area? doesnt have to be through uni, maybe theres things advertised at a local library or community centre that offer things for young people.

maybe headspace could help you find some groups to attend

Re: Not Coping

He is going for a reset and wants to be alone with his parents.

Headspace said I was too high risk a few months ago when I tried to get in, and I'm worse now, so I don't think they'll take me.

I can't even get help where I went for my inpatient stay. I doubt the public system will help me @outlander

Re: Not Coping

then maybe have a look into what your private health will help with @Birdofparadise8

you also dont need to be a member or anything to access groups in a library or community centre. some offer art, craft, walking or fitness other groups.
social media is a good place to search as well. many community groups are on facebook so you could always ask.
gyms usually offer fitness groups too if that ssomethng your interested in.

Re: Not Coping

I need an active psychiatrist but I don't see my new one until Jan @outlander

Re: Not Coping

a psychiatrist doesnt solve your isolating feeling problem @Birdofparadise8 they can help with medications. but your feeling lonley, and want to make friends, maybe focus on that. you have supports now till you can see your psychiatrist. try and find things to add to the value in your life. friends, hobbies, things to look forward to.

Re: Not Coping

I know I need to make friends, but it's hard to meet people. I'm starting an online unit for uni so I won't be able to meet people that way, but I might look into groups or something @outlander
