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

Aww that sounds so lovely @Snowie! Nothing like being snug when it's gross outside!

What tv has got your interest of late? I've been watching The Artful Dodger on Disney+, it's really good!

Re: Not Coping

I haven't heard of that show @Jynx

Mainly I have just been watching the tennis and the cricket. I like watching sports. I have netflix and disney+ but haven't really watched them lately. Last night I have just went going to bed early. No point staying awake. I'm not exactly enjoying my company at the moment.

Re: Not Coping

I fully understand that @Snowie

It can be hard to tell people who care about us what's happening.

Not this afternoon. I would like to go to one tomorrow morning ish before I see my GP at 2 pm.

Kitchen boogie sounds fun. I'm doing that with Taylor Swift playing.

Do you like to read?

It can be hard @Birdofparadise8

I try to keep him informed as much as possible but not really what runs through my head.

I read quite a bit. I have set myself the goal of reading 35+ books this year. Already up to number 7. Do you read much?

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, they have peer support workers with HOPE too, but you have to be referred to HOPE in order to get access to that. Not sure of any other in person peer support workers. I just do my peer support sessions through calls

Re: Not Coping

@Snowie that's super rough hun. Is it something that will pass in time?

It's a 'dramedy' about a surgeon with a criminal background whose past is catching up to him. He's an escaped convict hiding out in colonial Australia, trying to make a name for himself but also resisting his criminal roots. It's actually a sequel to Oliver Twist, but I have never read the book and it didn't impact my understanding of the show. Plus it's filmed in Australia and has a mix of British and Aussie cast. Good mix of dramatic tension and humour, plus a romantic story with pretty good chemistry. Would definitely give it a go if that all sounds appealing!

I'm still on book one from last year hahah. I'm readying icebreaker at the moment. it's really good.

seven already? OMG @Snowie

I hope that for a year. I need more time hahaha.

Re: Not Coping

That sounds like an interesting show. I normally watch tv series or movies that are based on real life. Probably another reason why I like reading autobiographies so much.

I don't know @Jynx I have little support at the moment with both my psych and pdoc away so it's no surprise that I feel this way. I haven't seen my psych since mid December and still awhile to go before she is back from holidays. Going from every week to nothing has been hard.

I don't trust myself at the moment. I'm trying to be around people but at the same time feel so lonely.

@Birdofparadise8 reading is a good distraction for me so have been doing it more lately.

Re: Not Coping

@Snowie ahh true haha I'm wayyy more into fiction. Bit of an escapist 😉

Oh heck, yeah no wonder you're feeling so low. That is a tough position to be in, having to suddenly manage on your own. Do you use the sane support line at all, would that be a helpful form of extra support in the interim?

I didn't get into HOPE @creative_writer

Comm MH won't help me. They think I'm okay when I'm not.
