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 @ArraDreaming

Yeah lol. I read a couple of pages of the first chapter, and I'm like, wow. This has way more already than the other book I read.

It's the only fantasy I have, lol. Still no boyfriend yet. I am talking to a guy we are meeting for lunch on Wednesday.

Re: Not Coping

I suppose it's cos I am here nearly every day @Birdofparadise8 😂

I just float around different sections of the forum, depending on community needs.

You still reading spicy books? Ahaha legend. I'm stuck in video game land, I just bought myself a PS5! Soooo keen

Re: Not Coping

Yes, I know that now. I was told that. I thought it was, but it's okay. I was a bit shocked, that's all.

We've been talking for a couple of weeks, and he seems really nice, so fingers crossed it goes well. I haven't had a boyfriend before, so I would like to get one sooner than later since I'll be 21 this year @ArraDreaming

Re: Not Coping

Do you work differently, like 8-hour shifts, five days a week, type of thing @Jynx?

Yes, I got to get it somehow, haha.

What do you love about video games? I'm not really into them myself.

Re: Not Coping

Yeah but also @Birdofparadise8 you don’t have a time kind to these things I can see that you want company and that but from personal experience if you pressure yourself you are more likely to just settle cause you can, even though you know deep down it ain’t for me

I’m not telling you what to do or how to do it but I’m just saying avoid putting a number or a timeline on these things cause it could force you to rush

when I was younger I rushed into things with too many people at different times and none of them were a great fit
And now here I am! (Married at 28 if you didn’t know that)

Re: Not Coping

I knew you were married, but I didn't realise how young you are @ArraDreaming

Sorry, I thought you were older.

You mean other people you were fooling around with wasn't good.

I know it's just all my friends have had sex and all that. One girl back in tassie has been with her boyfriend for over two years. I just want that company and to have a loving relationship.

Well, I've been on three near-miss dates. They all chickened out. I do have a very, very high standard in a guy, so that is possible to contribute as well.

Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

Sorry, I'm so confused @ArraDreaming

What does the username have to do with age?

Do you have to change yours as well?

Yeah, I'm not sure if you've been following on but it's been really hard the past few months with being so alone.
