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

I'm sorry @creative_writer, you seem to have a number of health conditions. How are your migraines today? Are they manageable?

I'm working on my essay that's due the 5th of Feb. What are you having for dinner and also @ENKELI

I'm having pasta I cooked last night.

Howdy folks! @Birdofparadise8 @ENKELI @creative_writer

Hiding in air-con today haha. Heat makes me cranky. Was in a hoodie and ugg boots last night, now this! Really thankful it does cool down of an evening, I remember first year I moved to Naarm (Melbs) there was a 6-day heat wave where it was 43-46 during the day and didn't drop below like 35 at night. Sooooo awful!

I wish there was a sea breeze @Jynx

In Hobart it's so much cooler at night.

@creative_writer POTS, is that tachycardia? If you have an underlying condition and it's affected by the warmer weather, then 30 degrees would be hot. I hope you're able to feel more comfortable soon.

I must admit, reading y'alls comments about Melbourne makes me miss it. Haven't been to Vic for a good few years.

@Birdofparadise8 yes I forget you're from Tassie so it's probably a heat wave for you. I've never been there but would love to at some point.

Couldn't agree more @Birdofparadise8! I grew up mid-north coast NSW, sooo used to a sea breeze. But I don't miss the humidity! At least Naarm is a dry heat!

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 not sure. I don't feel much like eating in this weather. I've got some slow cooked pork that I need to use up, might do something with that.

Re: Not Coping

@Jynx oh good grief that heat is awful! I am still shaking my head that you were in winter warmies last night. Melbourne - 4 seasons in 1 day.

When we moved from Canberra we suffered the same thing, the winter had been the coldest in several years (I remember we had snow in the back yard) and we moved east to Geraldton 400km north of Perth and suffered through their hottest summer. My mum went to every shop looking for an air conditioner and they were sold out so we had to cope with a fan and wet towels!

I know my power bill is going to be huge but I'd rather be comfortable with the air con on.
