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

Re: Not Coping

I live with a mother figure @Birdofparadise8

I rent a room with an old family friend.

Re: Not Coping

Okay @Blackbird11

When you were my age, did you live with your parents? That is, I'm assuming they were in the picture. If not, then you won't need to worry about my question.

Did they respect boundaries you put in place?

Re: Not Coping

I was married at 19 and divorced 7 years later. My mother in law lived close and would go through my things when we were not there @Birdofparadise8

Re: Not Coping

Keep advocating for your boundaries, it's hard but hopefully it gets through @Birdofparadise8

Oh well, I'll have to push through. My aunt told me she would send through some things on boundaries and I statements @Blackbird11
