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

Anything you can do in your power to make things that little bit more 'bearable'?

Re: Not Coping

@tyme, I want to wrap myself up to feel safe but I think it’s too hot in Melbourne today. Maybe a self hug would work better. Trying to keep these tears at bay today, it’s been hard because they have broken free more than once but I stopped it pretty quickly so nobody noticed. I don’t need to be asked questions right now

Re: Not Coping

You all deserve a hug @ENKELI @Birdofparadise8 @creative_writer @Shaz51 @tonys

@creative_writer , did you try giving yourself a hug? I know it sounds strange, but it can make a huge difference.

Re: Not Coping

thanks @tyme 💖

What is everyone doing for Australia Day? I will be alone which makes me sad but everyone else has plans. Used to be a day I spent with my bestie and Godchildren, another day I need to battle through. Brings me to tears thinking about it.

My brother kindly invited me to join him at his mates' place but I don't know most of the people going so it would be awkward and uncomfortable.

I hope everyone else has plans for a lovely day 🇦🇺
