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

Thanks @Birdofparadise8

My mothers grave is on the NW coast so it's a bit far. I know she is with me in spirit, that is comforting to me.

What are your plans today?

Re: Not Coping

Ah, okay, fair enough. That's a bit of a drive @Blackbird11

I want to go to an art shop to get a couple of thing and maybe go for a bike ride if it doesn't start to rain.

Will you do anything to honour her memory?

Re: Not Coping

Sounds good @Birdofparadise8

I'll go to a nice spot and have a coffee and chocolate to remember her.

Re: Not Coping

That sounds like a lovely idea.

I should get ready to go and I hope your psych session goes well @Blackbird11

Hi @Blackbird11

I'm thinking of you. I hope you enjoyed your coffee and chocolate to remember your mum.

How did it go with your pschy?

Hey @Shaz51

How is everything going? How's the weather? I'm thinking of you, too.

Re: Not Coping

@Blackbird11 my sincere condolences.

I have not lost a parent, I've lost a brother and a cousin (both under 30) but it's not the same I imagine.

I know she loves you and is so proud of the person you have become, and not to sweat the small stuff, you're doing okay xx.

Re: Not Coping

hey @Birdofparadise8 how are you going today?

Will you be going home for Christmas, or staying in Melb?

I just want to sleep through it all to be honest. I just can't get into the spirit of it all 😢

Re: Not Coping

Hi @ENKELI

I've been painting and going to the gym. I'm on my way into the city to meet my uncle for dinner. I haven't seen anyone since Wednesday which was my psych and aunt. Then I see my psych tomorrow lol.

I'm going back to Hobart on the 20th.

Aww I’m sorry you feel like that.

Do you not have anyone to see? I'll be with about 17 people on my mum's side on Christmas Day.
