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

Have you got a strategies for Monday? For like if things get overwhelming? Do you have safe people in the family dynamic to go to?

It will be hard tomorrow, I hope you have support with you. I sometimes feel odd after a session, self-care is so important @Birdofparadise8.

I had a late notice cancellation for work. No work now until boxing day. We have an international guest staying with us over the holiday season, so will be spending time with them.

Re: Not Coping

No not really people get anxious I'd we are not all around. It would be hard to get five minutes alone. @Blackbird11

No I don't. My parents aren't an option.

My aunt and uncle are in Hobart as well but they won't be free. I'm also going out for dinner that night with my dads side of the family for Christmas its so chaotic.

I think I'm just reliseing how stressful this all will be. I also have a family thing on Saturday for my pops, cousin and aunts birthday. So much masking. Gosh I need to stop thinking I'm starting to freak out now. Then there is new years when everyone will be like yay a new year and I'll be like yay another year where I have to fight to stay alive. Sorry now I'm ranting.

Re: Not Coping

Your feelings are valid @Birdofparadise8, it sounds like it will be challenging for you. You might need to have a rituals before you get up or before you go to bed.
