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

@Birdofparadise8, that sort of got triggered today, I hadn’t realised, I thought I was just angry at someone without any valid reason and felt so guilty. In reality I probably felt a bit triggered. I did okay for a year and a bit, till one interaction and then ended up with really bad flashbacks following it. Probably vicarious trauma triggering my own trauma too. I don’t plan to work in acute suicidal management, but I do want to go into mental health because I love talking to people

Re: Not Coping

Oh okay @creative_writer

I'm sorry you were triggered by it.

That's so good you worked there for as long as you did.

It's inspiring what you want to do and where you want to work.

I'm not sure I would be able to do it. So you're very admirable.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I think we can turn a lot of things around can’t we by reframing them? The power of thoughts is amazing. A speaker gave the analogy of thieves knocking on the door, what we end up doing is letting them come in and feeding them a full course meal. Like with my first placement dropping out, I’m better off with better supervisors who actually respect me and aren’t deficit focused. My current supervisors are way better than other ones. Maybe you could try something similar with your thoughts

I’m going to bed @Blackbird11

I hope you've had a nice day.

I'd appreciate if we could talk tomorrow if you're going to be on here.

Thanks

Re: Not Coping

I'm awake now @Blackbird11

Right after I liked your post I was falling asleep and the bloody fire alarm went off. Why is the uni so annoying and do tests at the most random time? I don't get why they wouldn't send an email out that they are testing the alarm.

I get it when it's a drill that can't because then people won't be there for the drill. Ahh so annoying. Now I'm wide awake I'll read my book for a bit and hope to go back to sleep. I've taken a sleeping Med that I took before which has worn off so hopefully that will kick in soon.

I hope you doing okay.
