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

@creative_writer I hope that if you do need to cry, you're able to. Always feels better to get it out. Do you have particular prayers you like to recite, or is it more just expressing what you feel in the moment?

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 It would depend on the psych, 2 of the psychs I've seen gave me a hug and I returned the hug, but another psych I saw I wouldn't have hugged.

If the psych is okay with it and you are comfortable then I don't see there being a problem. That is my personal opinion only of course.

Re: Not Coping

Did you ask to have a hug @ENKELI?

I've been getting very mixed opinions. Some say yet if they are okay with it, and others are flat-out no.

I just don't want to ask him, and then he says no because I will most likely get upset.

Re: Not Coping

Aww thanks @Shaz51 - yeah used to chew through books as a kid, now I struggle a lot. Audiobooks have helped, but I never remember to put them on! Too busy grooving to music most of the time lol.

@Birdofparadise8 haha I don't think I've ever read a spicy book (if you're talking about spicy=sexy, yes?). I tend to avoid them because they're usually very cisheteronormative. You been getting your spice on lately huh?

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, can’t see the couch yet.

@Jynx, I’ve done both. Prayers soothe me that if I don’t do them I feel worse. I want to feel protected and safe. I had a psych app today. We discussed reauthoring my story. She did emphasis that it is okay to feel angry about what has happened and acknowledge it. I have always felt so guilty with wanting revenge, but I guess it’s natural. I do believe that people ultimately pay for what they do in the end

Re: Not Coping

Hahaha, yeah, I'm reading a good one, Icebreaker. I've got three chapters left. The last one I read, I was like oh wow.

What's cisheteronormative? I don't think I've heard of it before.

I think I have six or seven others with even more spice than this. It's a great way to learn, hahaha.

I need a man. @Jynx
