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

Hello @Birdofparadise8

How was the facial?

I spent time with my girlfriend this afternoon, she is still a bit unwell, but improving.

Re: Not Coping

It was very nice. Thank you @Blackbird11

I hope she'll be okay. Do you live together?

Re: Not Coping

That sounds so nice @Birdofparadise8

No we don't live together, I rent a room, we're just not at that stage yet.

Re: Not Coping

Ah, okay, that's fair enough.

I've been talking to a guy who looks cute. Anyway, I wanted to meet him next week, but I'm not sure it will happen as he will be in bail. If he isn't back by the 18th of December, I won't be able to see him until the 9th of January as I'm moving into my new apartment after I fly back from Hobart for Christmas.

I think I'm getting better. This week has been alright. There are a few issues here and there, but overall, It's been good @Blackbird11

I'm sorry if I seemed like a lot when you first joined. September and October were very hard for me.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, it’s been a long week. Have a while ago till I finish for uni. I probably need to rest over the weekend. Do you have plans for the weekend?

Re: Not Coping

I'm going to the gym and see my uncle for a drink and a walk. I've been trying to see him since discharge, but it's been hard to find time, and then with me going home (Hobat), anyway. We will see each other tomorrow, so that's good. It will be nice to let him know that things have been improving.

Are you still on placement @creative_writer?

Re: Not Coping

No need to apologise for anything. That's what the forums are here for... to get knowledge, guidance and most importantly support @Birdofparadise8

It's great to hear you feel more settled @Birdofparadise8

Oooh exciting, sounds promising you will get to meet a nice guy @Birdofparadise8

Re: Not Coping

Thank you @Blackbird11

Yes, it is. I feel like I'm moving forward. The new medication has really helped start that process. However, it still doesn't take away my core beliefs about myself.

Re: Not Coping

Therapy and experience will evolve your core beliefs through time @Birdofparadise8

Be gentle with yourself, you matter, you are important and very loved 💚

Re: Not Coping

That is true, @Blackbird11 I think my psych will be pleased on Wednesday when I see him.

Thank you. I appreciate you saying those things about me.
