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

Mmm, that can be hard. That's fair enough. Do you have a TV in your room? If you have ABC iview, I suggest you try this show called Utopia. When I'm really down and sad, I'll put this on, and OMG, it makes me laugh so much. Just trust me with that one. Oh, it's so good. I really recommend and even when you're not sad. It's a comedy.

eh well, crying while watching it I guess. @creative_writer

I've got ten boxes packed.

@Birdofparadise8, I don’t have a TV in my room. Well done for getting ten boxes packed 🙂

I had disruption in circadian rhythms the other day, not sure if that’s why things feel worse. Damn, if only my body clock wasn’t so sensitive. I literally can’t calm down, I can’t live like this 😩

Thank you @creative_writer

Well, even if you get a view on your phone, iPad, laptop, or whatever the episodes go for 25 min very worth it, trust me.

Hmm, that's odd. Did you stay awake all night?

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, i can watch on my laptop.

I slept later, got more evening light exposure. I just feel agitated and wired. The PRN made my thoughts slower, but they are speeding up again

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

That's annoying about the PRN. Can you take more, or have you had night meds if you take any at night?

I don't even know which is my favourite episode. There are five seasons. It's just so good @creative_writer

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I’ve only been prescribed one PRN. I allowed stupidity to take over this evening. I’m okay though. My doctor friend doesn’t think I should be doing what I have been doing the past two days, but I get desperate and couldn’t resist.

Five seasons is a lot. I think I’ll be spending more time watching tv once I’m done with uni for the year

Re: Not Coping

Ah, okay, I hope it helps a bit.

Hmm okay. I hope what you've done isn't too serious.

Can I ask how it is not self-harming if you want to numb, but then you say your friend said you shouldn't do what you've been doing? Don't answer if you can with guidelines and stuff. I'm just not following what's happening. I'm curious I suppose.

I guess, but when an episode goes by so quickly, you don't notice. Hahaha @creative_writer

How is uni? Do you have much placement left?

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, maybe it is technically self harming. Maybe it’s just a different kind of self harm. I don’t know. My intention was never to inflict harm but to ease the physical and mental pain. I’m okay, just a bit of stomach discomfort. I at least feel better physically and emotionally, even if it wasn’t the correct way to do so.

I’m used to long episodes. Are the episodes short? Almost done with placement

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

Oh okay. I guessed when I was self-harming, it wasn't the physical I wanted. It was just to take away the emotion, which helped.

You should watch one and let me know if you don't like it no biggy.
