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

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.

Yeah kinda, I have Fridays off and work every other Saturday. Suits me wonderfully.

I love that they are a whole world of discovery, amazing stories and incredible scenery. It's like watching a fantasy movie, except that you're in control! So it means I feel closer to the characters. Plus, killing giant robots with a bow and arrow is HEAPS of fun 😋

Re: Not Coping

I know it took me a while as well.

Maybe something meaningful like my name?

I meet a group of girls last week at a brunch and I think we are meeting up next week. @ArraDreaming

Nice @Birdofparadise8 see it’s those kind of things that will help even if it’s not dating it putting yourself out of there and gaining confidence

Re: Not Coping

funny story: I met my wife on a dating app but already knew her in person but I was too nervous to talk to her so thought nothing would happen, and then she popped up and I was like ah Just go for it it’s a sign!

Re: Not Coping

Ah okay @Jynx

that's why you are here some weekends and not others. It can get confusing lol.

That sounds cool.
Did you see my post about imagination from yesterday? I just see blank, nothing dark when I shut my eyes, but people can actually see things.

@ArraDreaming can you see things?
