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

No, not this week. I will do one this weekend I hope @Blackbird11

What about yourself what are you doing? Any bushwalks or out in nature. Have you been to the track in Risdon? It's about 5 km so nice.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, yes. It’s be a long one. I don’t think meds can change core beliefs about yourself, you need to do a lot of hard work for that

Re: Not Coping

That sounds good @Birdofparadise8

I'm travelling north for my birthday, going to see friends and family.

Yes, I took some photos. [location removed by moderators - ANONYMITY Guideline]

Re: Not Coping

I know that's what I mean, @creative_writer it's helped lift my mood and take away the SI.

When do you finish?

I finished last week, but still going with the summer sem. I'm doing an extra unit.

Re: Not Coping

There's one near flinders street @tyme

I want to go and it finishes this weekend, but I think it's going to be raining the whole time.

Re: Not Coping

Nah, I don't know that one. But yes, dumplings are delish. Freshly made. I went to one in the city. Shanghai Noodle House or something. They make them there and you watch them in the window. It's pretty awesome. They make all the noodles from scratch too. The line of people waiting snakes around the block. @Birdofparadise8

But I don't go to the city much at all so it's a treat.
