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

@Birdofparadise8 great news about the outfit you got, especially at that price, well done!

It's been another hot one here too, I haven't done much except try to stay cool.

Anxiety has been high today and I'm out of anti anxiety meds so I'm trying to breathe through it.

That's not very nice he didn't like it. Does he ever cry around you @Shaz51?

Re: Not Coping

I'll post a photo of me dressed up but obviously not my face @ENKELI

@Jynx is that okay? Can I also show a photo of my hair and also the actually concert or not.

I don't know how you cope over their.

I'm sorry to hear that are you able to see your GP to get more?

Probably best not, you could potentially just share a photo of the dress, so long as not much else is in background. Same goes for the concert, might end up being people's faces in the photos. Sorry hun

I'm doing my Lego and listening to Taylor Swift so I'm trying to distract myself @Jynx

I want to read my book as well tonight.

One thing with distraction. Can't it be bad to keep doing it so I don't cry? Isn't that a bad thing?

I think it depends. Distracting oneself so much that it means you're never actually letting yourself feel your emotions is unhealthy, akin to bottling them up. I tend to find success in alternating between feeling/processing emotions, and then engaging in distractions before it gets to a point of rumination.
