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 wake up sad sometimes too @Birdofparadise8 It doesn't go away easily. It can be a challenge just to open my eyes. I know life is for living and with eyes open I can take the first step without seeing the whole staircase... trust the process. Joy arrives when you least expect it.

Re: Not Coping

I don't think so today @Blackbird11

I don't like feeling like this. I want it to stop.

I'm safe btw.

Re: Not Coping

Glad you are safe @Birdofparadise8

It's hard when being constantly challenged by negative emotions, do something in those times that usually brings you joy, it may not feel like it, but it actually does help if you keep doing the things that bring you joy.

Re: Not Coping

Hey there @Birdofparadise8,

I am sorry you have been struggling.

There are days when I have really struggled in the past. The mind can take me on a trip to torment, which can leave me feeling distressed and unable to cope and unable to see the truth with negative voices in my head telling me I am not good enough and I cannot seem to see the truth.

What I am trying to say is at times like this it's easy to be our own worst enemy. You are not alone in this and you have people that really care about you.

Take care of yourself and be gentle with yourself. Do your best to eat, sleep & maybe, spend some time outdoors, in a park or some other peaceful & calm place.

Warm hugs to you.

From your friend,

Melbcoffeesnob
