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

Thank you for that @Benno88

I’ll just ride the wave and see what comes.

I do try to tell myself I’m not alone, but the depression makes it hard to feel like I’m not.

All you can do is try your best @Birdofparadise8.

Is there another GP that you may be able to get into in the same practice?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Not next week I have work all week anyway and with the public holidays. I’ll be fine. @Captain24

Its not like they can do anything anyway. They probably would commit me or something hahaha and I don’t want that.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Well I have some news @Captain24 @Eve7 @creative_writer

My mum found out I’ve been self harming and she got upset.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 it is a tough space to be in, for both you and your mum. It is really hard to just give up SH. SH usually comes from not feeling as though you have enough resources to cope. It makes more sense to find other ways which would naturally make you SH less often. I’ve been caught before and it just didn’t go well, I think my mum is too emotional reactive to stay focused on helping me move forward.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah same I feel sorry for her though because I don’t know how I want her to help.

I just hope things won’t change between us. I did down play it a bit though because she said am I doing it at the moment and I said no. She also asked if I’m wanting to end it but I said no to that as well I think one thing at a time is enough for her to cope with @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

Maybe just play it by ear @Birdofparadise8 and see how she goes.

Im not sure if your relationship with your mum but if it’s a really good relationship maybe she could be a support to you?
