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: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 my mood has been really unstable, my cptsd symptoms are playing up and now I’m getting a bad headache.

I hope you are doing okay, hon. Here with you ❤️.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Sorry to hear that @creative_writer I wish there was something I could do to help.

Yeah I’ll be alright.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 my situation is really messy and chaotic, I have really awful trauma memories haunting me to this day. At least there is only a bit of the day left. I'll go to bed in a bit.

Are you sure you are okay?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh ok I’ve never experienced that so I’m not sure what to say sorry @creative_writer

Um well to be honest no I’m not really okay, but I don’t want to worry you about that now anyway.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 it’s all okay. I wish I knew what to say to make things better for you. But sometimes all we can is support and listen to the other person. I feel like when I was volunteering, a lot of help-seekers just wanted to feel heard.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah I feel that is the way with me. I just want someone to understand the pain I’m in and be here for me, to support me. @creative_writer That’s so nice of you that you have been a volunteer.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I think there is a lot of power in feeling understood and supported. Sometimes it hard to find people who make us feel safe, the forums create that safe place. Volunteer work was an amazing experience, but was suggested to take some time off and go back when I’m in a better headspace.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah it’s hard to find the right person @creative_writer

What did you do to volunteer?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 completely agree. I don’t feel like I can be fully open with anyone. I volunteered at Lifeline as a crisis supporter.
