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

hahaha @tyme

What do you mean by sleeping on their side?

Oh yeah, okay.

I'm catholic. When you say Christian is there a particular area?

Can I ask why you don't celebrate?

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 ,

I'm not here to spread my beliefs, but I'm sharing because you asked so I'll just put it in a spoiler.

Content/trigger warning
If you look at the history of Christmas, it's actually a Pagan festival and nothing to do with Christ's birth. Christ was not born in Dec. Hence we do not celebrate it because it means we are celebrating the birth of something else. Also, the Bible doesn't tell us to celebrate his birthday.

Hence we do not celebrate Christmas 🙂

Re: Not Coping

Ah okay, fair enough @tyme

Do you go to church much.

I don't really go. I think being forced at school made me not want to do, but I've been thinking about it. I'm unsure if being more spiritual could help with my MH at all.

What else have you been up to tyme?

Yummy I love a quick meal @Blackbird11

Do you work any more this week?

Re: Not Coping

Yes, I go every week to Church at least once. Usually 2 times and sometimes more @Birdofparadise8

Re: Not Coping

That's nice @tyme

I hope you go somewhere with comfy seats. The churches here in Hobart, the one at my school, were very uncomfortable, and when kneeling, it hurt, hahaha.

Anyway, what else are you doing this week other than being here?
