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

One other thing @Jynx

Do you know how I can find a mental health peer support worker? I'm still trying and not having much luck. I swear I look, and they just don't seem to be in my area, and I don't know who to go to. I just need some more support. I highly sought comm MH will help. I've tried so many times with them, and they just say I'm not high-risk enough. It's just so frustrating.

Re: Not Coping

Hmm I'm not sure @Birdofparadise8 I just found this database though maybe you could try searching there?

@TideisTurning and @amber22 may have more ideas when they're next online!

Re: Not Coping

It would only let me choose if I had alcohol or drug issues, which I don't @Jynx.

Re: Not Coping

Thanks @creative_writer

I appreciate that, but I was kind of looking for in-person support.

Re: Not Coping

Hi @Jynx @ENKELI @Shaz51 @Blackbird11 @bartart23 @Snowie @outlander @Bow @Kyle1

How is everyone today?

It's been a hot one today here in Melb. I hope everyone is travelling okay in the heat.

What's everyone been up to today?

I went into the city to Myer and got a dress and boots for the eras tour coming up next month. They look really good. The dress was originally $170, and I bought it for $60.

I've just come home and going to do some lego.

Re: Not Coping

Sounds like a busy day @Birdofparadise8

Always good when we can pick up a bargain.

I hope you lego goes well
