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: Tw Not Coping

Just take it a minute at a time Hon - we put so much pressure on ourselves to 'do okay' but it is okay not to be okay @Birdofparadise8 I can see you have had wonderful support here so reach out as much as you need. Unfortunately we all know how hard it is so can sit with you 💖

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 there is still a lot of stigma around mental health. I am also trying to hang on until SANE and other professional services are available again, just took my PRN to cope.

Hi @Zoe7, hope your tooth pain settles down soon.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@creative_writer The same for you too - minute by minute 💖 and keep reaching out here.

Having supports away is incredibly hard but we are so fortunate to have each other here - it is a lifeline in itself for so many - we do understand and we care for each other so keep being here for each other ... @Birdofparadise8

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I’m doing a bit better. Hoping I can make it safely until supports are back, didn’t realise how much of a mess I would be over the holiday period. How are you?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@creative_writer I have been regulating by using prn meds over the last 5 years. It has been helpful for me and I discuss it with pdoc. I note it in my journal so I can keep track and it can be helpful to realise I have gone months without it, or going through a harder time and needing it more.

@Birdofparadise8

A long time ago I used to work a lot around the "holidays" in hospitality.

For the Christmas period is always triggering for a few reasons so a lot of my mindset is working how to just get through it. Preparing for it and planning things for January to help keep me future focussed.
