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

What is MI team @Shaz51?

Why can't your son do his lawn if you don't mind me asking?

It's been nice here too. I love the sun.

Re: Not Coping

Oh really, @creative_writer, do you want kids?

I want them, and I would ideally like to have them by 30, and if I'm not in a relationship by then, I'll get artificially inseminated.

Re: Not Coping

Aww Mr Shaz! Hope it gets better soon @Shaz51 - and that you're keeping cool!

Yep @creative_writer it can be sooo different for different people. I see the theory as a way to gain insight and reflect, not necessarily an instruction manual haha. And yeah, definitely doesn't take into account neurodiversity, not the early stuff anyway! There's heaps of research around it though, always ongoing.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, yes I want kids. I’m on a lot of medication. I have never met anyone I feel truly feel safe to share myself with. I know it won’t stop people from looking at setting me up. I am only willing to get married to someone I feel comfortable and safe with.

@Jynx, I would probably say neurodivergence might also affect attachment. Humans are very complex. Someone who is neurodivergent needs will differ to a neurotypical.

@Shaz51, that sounds lovely. I had chicken with spinach today

Re: Not Coping

Yeah, that is fair enough. You've been through a lot @creative_writer

I was doing some research, and the new mood stabilizer I'm on you shouldn't take if you want kids.

I can't even take some pain meds with it or medication to stop the tremor, but I'll have to live with it. I haven't had an SI for about five weeks. It's really helped me a lot.
