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

As @Birdofparadise8 knows, I can be here for you as a guide, I will listen and you will be heard.

@bartart23 your life is valuable, you matter and you are very loved. If things get too much, I suggest phoning our Helpline 1800187263 or a support line you're familiar with. If you are in crisis or distress phone 000.

Do you have something enjoyable to do tonight?

Re: Not Coping

Im sitting at an airport too @Birdofparadise8 …different one to where you are but I get what you mean about being alone and it’s ok actually I don’t like sitting near people at airports. So here I am alone with a book and a phone and my thoughts after visiting my Mum.

I hope you have a good flight and a great Christmas.

Lots of love ❤️💚❤️

Hi @Eve7

I know it’s so weird. If I was around uni you wouldn’t see me at a cafe eating a meal on my own. I would be way too scared.
where are you off to?

Thank you. I’m just waiting to go.
