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

@creative_writer that's not good you had a reaction. I only use Natio or Nutrimetics on my skin now.

My skin has been breaking out of late, think it's hormonal.

I'm channel surfing on Foxtel but not really taking much notice of what's on. It's more for company really.

Re: Not Coping

@ENKELI, I don’t think my skin likes fermented yeast (though might work for some people), I think I ended up with fungal acne that even spot treatments weren’t very effective like there usually are with my normal occasional breakouts. It’s not fun trying to heal them but I found jojoba oil incredibly soothing for them

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 Cisheteronormativity = "relating to a world view that promotes heterosexuality as the normal or preferred sexual orientation."

I'm nonbinary and queer, so romantic novels, rom coms, and anything where 'the guy gets the girl' simply don't appeal to me because I can't relate to them.

Re: Not Coping

@ENKELI watching TV is still a good distraction 🙂. I can’t remember the last time I properly sat down and watched normal TV

Re: Not Coping

@creative_writer sounds like a productive appointment. I'm glad your psych is encouraging you to allow space for those challenging emotions - the ones we're socially conditioned to suppress or see as wrong are just as human as the rest. They deserve to take up space in our hearts too. Expressing them healthily can be difficult, did you and your psych talk about some ways you could do that?
