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

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?

Oooh aphantasia!! Yeah apparently there's also folks out there who don't have an inner monologue! Brains are so weird. I can imagine stuff in my mind's eye, but only static images and usually only stuff I've seen before. Struggle to come up with anything new.

I found this:

I'm at like a 5 maybe? What about you?
