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

Re: Not Coping

@creative_writer & @Shaz51 I pray you both get a restful night and wake feeling refreshed and renewed. Migraines are horrible.

@Birdofparadise8 yes I think I will order it online instead. I don't cope well in the heat or in large crowds so the two together would be bloody awful!

Trying to get rid of a headache, I think it's because I haven't drunk enough water today.

Did you make your brownie?

Re: Not Coping

Fair enough then @ENKELI

No, I will make it tomorrow. It's too late now.

Don't you like drinking water?

Re: Not Coping

Argh @Birdofparadise8 . What a shame it was an error. I'm glad they CAN talk to you.

Do you feel better now that you've received clarification?

Re: Not Coping

Yeah, I guess. Lucky it didn't put me over the edge or something @tyme

Still sucks it was an oversight. Something so small which had a huge effect on me.

Re: Not Coping

@ENKELI thank you. I hope you get plenty of rest and fluids and the headache settles for you too 💖

Re: Not Coping

Hey @Birdofparadise8 , it's a valid response to perceived rejection. I hear you on that one.

I'm so glad your KHL counsellor worked on gratitude with you. When someone is truly grateful for something, they CANNOT be depressed at the same time. This is scientifically proven. I wonder if that's why I'm in a really good place? I'm generally a really grateful person... for everything.

Re: Not Coping

Okay @tyme

Well, I can still be grateful for some things. I'm not a selfish person or anything. I'm grateful for you and everyone here. I'm grateful for my family and a small number of friends. And to be alive.

But I'm more meaningful about my life right now and do not see it as good or whatever. I'm not suicidal; or anything.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I usually drink a lot of water, I've been a bit slack today and not had my usual amount. I've been drinking tea instead but I should really keep the water intake up in this heat. I took some painkillers so the headache has gone, and I drank some soda water.

I am adding the ingredients to my shopping list for your brownie recipe to try it also.

So the job you got interviewed for on Friday, were you told straight away that you didn't get it?

I was set for an interview and was then advised that the person I would have been replacing decided not to leave after all. It's frustrating!

Still, tomorrow is another day. ❤️
