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

I think I've applied for about 7 or 8 jobs; I've lost count. I'm patiently, not so patiently, waiting to hear back from them. I've applied for admin, retail, hospo everything under the sun. @tyme

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 hey there, sorry you had to change your name first off.

Glad you enjoyed your brunch, that is lovely! I do hope you catch up on a regular basis, it's always nice to have something non threatening to look forward to.

How are you doing otherwise? I would love to be in Melbourne now with the mild weather y'all are having!

I haven't been online much today, have been pottering around the house. I replanted a couple of plants that I got for my birthday, one is a beautiful orange hibiscus and the other a hybrid kangaroo paw. I'm hoping the kangaroo paw survives as I've already had 2 die. You'd think being natives they'd survive the heat but nooooo!

And funny enough I am wanting to get a bird of paradise plant (aka strelitzia) so when I do, I will call it Laura if you don't mind 😍. Most of my plants have names after the people who gave them to me, like a peace lily I call mum!

Have a pleasant evening everyone @tyme @Shaz51 @creative_writer @amber22 @tonys @StanD @Glisten @Appleblossom and anyone else I have missed, for which I apologise greatly

Hi @ENKELI Bit like you today and gave the virtual lounge room a rest. Its been so busy, when I hit support button, It can take 7 or 8 minutes to send. Think the heat and full moon coaxes community cries for help.. Had a few visitors and the day past comfortably.

I turn to the garden too when my trust of the world falters. Plants seem to lack the cunning inherent in

people. Bird of paradise. Now theres a loyal friend that won't turn on you. They seem to smile regardless. Hibiscus, I just whisper the name and possum's ears hone in. Buggers eat all the flowers off, foliage next.

So . yet another thread I have never been in. Shaded lane. Different faces in windows. Thankyou for tagging me here Enkeli.

Sleep peacefully friend.

Hi everyone. Hope all of you are well n happy tonys..

@tyme @Shaz51 @creative_writer @Birdofparadise8 @Glisten and everyone..

Your friend G

Re: Not Coping

@tonys I look forward to your posts, always so prosaic. Think I said that before.

Which state are you in my friend? I'm in Perth, a city I both love and hate.

Sleep well, here's to a fresh start to the week 🙂

Hello @ENKELI

Thankyou for inviting me over here. It's 5 to 1am. Idk what I'm doing awake.

Working in the garden is nice. I have never had luck with plants. I have kept a purple & white pansy type flower going for a month now. I'm a proud mum.

I never thought of naming plants. I love that you are connected to nature.

I love all the different birds & insects. They talk to me. I feel like you feel the same way about your plants.

I do have a tree that I feel talks to me. it has known me my whole life. I cannot explain this in any scientific way. This tree, has been waiting for me. It's almost like a person. I'm not generally plant oriented, so this is magical & little bit intimidating to me.

Thankyou for sharing. x hope you are sleeping soundly. I'm going to have another nap on the couch now.

Idk why - the bed is way more comfortable. I feel safe on couch?

Good night everyone x sweet 🧁 dreams 🌙

Hello @ENKELI Yes I have a little map on the wall so I can match names to the weather girls map.

North east Perth. Thats my friend Enkeli's patch. I love your letters too mate. Few words I had to look up on one of them. Love when someone brings me a shiny new word to explore. Cheers mate..

Hope the sun puts on a smashing pin strip and does a little jig, just for you.

@Glisten Hi mate. Thank for tethering your pony all the way over here, just to share a campfire n say good night. I had one of those days, but its all behind thanks to you two.

Sleep sound friends. tonys..
