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 spoke to someone from SCBS today @Jynx That helped at the time.

I have used the Sane support line before with good results.

I just feel like I am on a slide with no ability to stop me from slipping.

Re: Not Coping

What's wrong with me?

Why can't I just have one night that I don't have to cry? I've been alright all day, and now, nope.

Re: Not Coping

I'm sorry @Birdofparadise8

Have taken over your thread.

Sometimes crying helps it out, helps with the tension built up in our bodies.

Re: Not Coping

Oh no, nothing like that @Snowie

I don't mind. I was just saying what's happening in my screwed-up brain.

But crying every night or nearly every night.

Re: Not Coping

I'll wait at the bottom and catch you @Snowie 💜

Agree with Snowie @Birdofparadise8 crying sucks but it also is our body doing what it needs to do in the moment to release tension.

Re: Not Coping

I guess so, but nothing happened today. I've been alright. Why can't that stay for the whole day @Jynx

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, it’s terrible how it’s hard to access supports when you need them. I am sure there will be other peer support workers floating around, they might come at a cost, you would have to check. I just know HOPE, Sane and efriend have peer support workers. Not sure where else you could look. Sending you hugs 🫂
