Something’s not right

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

Re: Not Coping

Okay. So weird I didn't even no that when I think I'm imagining I'm not even imagining. Like when I read a book I'm just reading to myself. I try and think from the description, but I never see anything in my mind. I didn't even know you could @Snowie

Re: Not Coping

I think everyone is different @Birdofparadise8 Some people can imagine much easier then others. Some do it all the time, other probably never.

Re: Not Coping

Probably a 3 or 4 @Birdofparadise8

Just remember it is just one of many thoughts about imagination.

I think it would be broken up into more categories then just 5.

Re: Not Coping

Well I see just black nothing,

maybe that's why I don't picture things about the bullying @Snowie

I wonder if this affects anything. I've never mentioned it to my psych.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I had fish, cucumber and some bread for dinner. How about you?

Regarding imagining the apple. It might be individual. Would you say you are a visual learner. I’m just curious. I know I am a visual learner and can see the apple

Re: Not Coping

Nice I had chicken kebabs and salad.

I do like watching videos for learning rather than reading a textbook, or watching a lecture. I also like hands-on such as labs, but only certain classes have them.

If I'm to shut my eyes and imagine and apple all it is. Is me thinking of an apple I don't see anything it's just black like when you go to sleep. @creative_writer

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, maybe everyone’s brain is wired differently. From the sounds of things, you appear to be more of an audio and hands on person
