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

Hi @Birdofparadise8 Its from a longer poem I wrote for the Rn. Bit long for here, but that bit came to mind.

Bird of paradise. I like that Tag. All sort of angles when My mind walks around it. Endures, regardless.

Good choice.

Take care mate. tonys..

Re: Not Coping

Thanks to you. @Birdofparadise8 .

Thats how it is for me @Glisten On a lonely cold mountain pass. Then the glow of a campfire in

the distance and we turn the pinto's head, Who know what that fire n pot of coffee may reveal about the stranger, and the stranger in us. Thats what getting tagged to a new place feels like for me.

Better toss the pot on the coals and get to physio before the Rn kicks my lazy butt.

Stay shiny folks.. tonys..

Re: Not Coping

@tonys you're not Irish are you?!

Your comment reminds me of the Irishman who got fired from the banana factory because he threw out all the bent ones. Apologies if that offends anyone, my paternal family are Irish and it was one of them who told me that joke 🙂

Plants and pets, I find I don't disappoint them the way I do people and they don't mind if I am having a bad day. My cat will stick to me like glue when I am in a bad way and my plants serve as a reminder that while I am tending to them they are showing kindness by living.

Never been to Coffs Harbour or near by, it looks like a beautiful part of the world. Hope you're enjoying your day bending those bee-na-nas!

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 so sorry to hear of your loss, and not that long ago. My heart hurts for you.

I am not doing much today, watching TV and checking for jobs on Seek.

Re: Not Coping

Thanks @ENKELI

I have another interview next week. I've applied for so many. I wish it could all hurry up and be over with.

Cleaners came into my apartment, and they keep coming and going. It's so annoying I was about to get much lunch and make a smoothie so I had to run and get some stuff from the fridge.

Re: Not Coping

@StanD congratulations on keeping your plant going, it is a great accomplishment. 😍

I understand your couch versus bed, sometimes the couch is like a safe haven.

Hope you had a good nights' sleep where ever you ended up.

Happy Monday!
