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

Yeah, I guess that's true @Snowie.

The thing I hate is I don't know why I'm sad. I can't seem to shake it.

That's good to hear. What are you up to tonight?

Re: Not Coping

Sometimes we can be sad and upset for no reason @Birdofparadise8 There doesn't always have to be a reason just like we don't always have the answers.

Is there something you can do to distract yourself? What's for tea?

Not up to a lot tonight. Just dinner. Will be early to bed tonight.

Re: Not Coping

Mmm, okay. I suppose I'm the type of person that needs an answer. I'm not too fond of the unknown.

I'll continue watching my show, but I'm unsure what else.

I wish I had some way to regulate and not cry.

I'm not that hungry after lunch. I might have some breakfast food.

What are you having for tea @Snowie ?

Re: Not Coping

Sorry to hear it's a bit of an okay-ish, low-ish day @Birdofparadise8 @Snowie .

Hope things turn and gets better.

However, at this time, probably getting to bed early is good!

Re: Not Coping

Thanks @tyme

I don't know what's wrong with me. One minute, I'm okay. The next, I'm crying. I thought things were heading in the right direction a week or two ago, but maybe not.

What have you been up to today? I went out for lunch with cousins, aunt, uncle, etc.

Re: Not Coping

I'm the type of person who wants an answer too @Birdofparadise8 but with the help of my psych, she is helping me realise that I can't always have an answer. It is a hard concept to grasp however.

Anything to eat is better than nothing.

Just having chicken wraps here for tea. Nice and easy.

Hi @tyme

How has your day been?

Late night last night so early tonight. I'm too old for these late nights!

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

Ah, okay, maybe I'll bring it up with my psych on Wednesday.

Yummy, what do you put in yours @Snowie?

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

It might be something to bring up @Birdofparadise8

I'm not saying that it is easy. Even with working on it I still want the answers. Sometimes I just can't have them and it irritates the hell out of me.

Just chicken, lettuce, tomato and cheese. Pretty boring. But little cooking involved so that is a good thing!

Re: Not Coping

If you like sweet chilli, add that to some mayo for a sweet chilli mayo really yummy.

What did you work on to help it if you don't mind me asking @Snowie?

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

It really is my mindset @Birdofparadise8

I get upset with myself that I don't have the answers straight away and that it is hard sitting with those emotions.

I have phrases that I worked out with my psych. They are written down on my phone. I repeat them to myself when things get bad. There are different phrases depending on how bad my mood/thoughts are.
