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

Omg, you wouldn’t believe it.

When I first moved to Melbourne, my parents and I went to a cafe for lunch and ordered cheeseburgers, and we got a fake one. It was the most disgusting thing I had ever eaten. It was so dry and had no flavour.

However, I do like tofu when it's cooked properly. @Blackbird11

Re: Not Coping

How can I improve my motivation @Blackbird11

It's only like this when I'm bad. Most of the time, I can function alright.

Re: Not Coping

You belong with me, delicate, out of the woods, blank space, you need to calm down... so many hits 🤩

Motivation is hard when we're low @Birdofparadise8 some things to think about..

Break tasks in to manageable chunks. ...

Write down each positive thing you experience throughout the day. ...

Give yourself credit for the small things you do. ...

Have some 'me time' ...

Be gentle with yourself. ...

Try to be present. ...

Attend helpful events. ...

Ask for help.

Re: Not Coping

I can barely do anything.

I made the cookies, put the chicken in the oven, and the salad was from a packet.

I'm still going with the quiz. I've been looking at my timetable for uni, and I'm working out what units to do.

Still haven't had a shower. I will wait until tomorrow now. I have an appointment with my GP at 2:45, so it will be good to see her.

I'm really not okay @Blackbird11

At least I'm speaking to my regular at KHL tonight. I'm sorry; you're probably sick of me.

Re: Not Coping

It's good you have your regular support tonight and tomorrow. @Birdofparadise8

Celebrate the wins and focus on them, you are doing good things and it's ok you didn't shower today. Be gentle with yourself 💚

Re: Not Coping

Yes, it is. She will call me at 7, so I won't be around for an hour or so.

I'll let you know how it went with her if that's okay with you @Blackbird11
