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

Oh numbing right @creative_writer

I don't know.

Yeah, I know it's a bit hard to know what to say and what not to say. Very annoying.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, please tell me the trauma never happened. I need someone to tell me

Re: Not Coping

Um, I'm not sure I can @creative_writer. I wish I could.

I don't think we've actually talked about it much.

Re: Not Coping

What is wrong with me? Omg I’ve been startled again. I’ve literally come done into the kitchen, and someone walked in, and I jumped like, why?

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I don’t really feel like talking about it. I just want someone to tell me it never happened and that it was a nightmare.

I get startled easily too since I find myself on flight or fight mode a lot. Maybe a few deep breathes may help you de-stress

Re: Not Coping

Yeah totaly undersand. I didn't mean to talk about it now, sorry.

Maybe, oh well. I'll just cry instead.

What are you up to now @creative_writer?

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I didn’t take any offence. We are good. I just had dinner. How about you?

@bartart23 🫂. You are not alone

Re: Not Coping

I'm sorry @bartart23. Are you feeling any better, at least?

I'm barely holding myself together.
