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

Sorry @Birdofparadise8 ! I tagged @Captain24. Both of you dance so I got mixed with my tagging!!

Is this for the concert @Birdofparadise8? It looks beautiful. Do you do it from scratch?

And I am sure your tutu is pretty to @Captain24

Re: Not Coping

Yeah once I saw what @Captain24 wrote I got confused with who you were talking to.

I just have to pancakes the layers of the material. Yes it's for the concert I'm getting nervous it's on next weekend.

I use to love concert time! @Birdofparadise8.

I was usually 10+ numbers including being on twice in a row occasionally.

That involved quick changes. I had them down pat! I do miss it

I don’t miss pancaking though!

I am not a performer but I could imagine it would be terrifying! I read once that loads of famous performers get such bad stage fright. Apparently Dusty Springfield used to have such bad social phobias that she was physically sick before every performance. They had to keep a sick bucket for her at the edge of the stage @Birdofparadise8

How cool I wish I had 10 routines.

I only do ballet so I have 5 dances. Quick changes are a challenge sometimes I think I have three dances between one of mine so not too bad, but all the others I have a heap of time.

Definitely very time consuming @Captain24

Re: Not Coping

Oh really that would be hard. @Former-Member

I do get very nervous but not to the point of vomiting when it comes to dance. It does make me stuff up the timing and I go to fast though so I hope I won't this year.

Re: Not Coping

I did it all @Birdofparadise8.

Ballet tap jazz contemporary musical theatre plus I taught the tiny tots so I had to go on with them!

It’s quite funny @Former-Member I didn’t suffer from stage fright with concerts and absolutely thrives in them. My social phobia never got in the way of it! Eistedfods though was a different story!

Re: Not Coping

I am sure you will dance beautifully @Birdofparadise8

Re: Not Coping

So cool I hopefully may be able to do more next year when i move because where I currently dance we only do ballet and there is one contemporary class for the younger children. @Captain24

Thank you I hope it goes well too. @Former-Member
