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

@Birdofparadise8 did you email your aunt?

Hm, you mentioned before about the apple, sorry about that I should have remembered that. It may not work if your brain works differently.

When do you see your psych again?

Do you have a MH journal? That may help too. I've attached a link that gives tips on using a journal. Again it may not be helpful but I've been willing to try anything at times!

The most important thing is to change the victim mentality to a victor mentality and that is what your psych should be helping you with.

Do you feel he is actually helping you?

How is the roommate working out? Is she a Swiftie?

How exciting! How are you feeling about seeing him? @Birdofparadise8

You're doing so well - be as honest as you can tomorrow and remember that you should never feel judged for anything that you're thinking or feeling ❤️

Re: Not Coping

No, I didn't. I don't want to bother her and my uncle. I'll give it another week and see how things go.

That's okay don't worry about it.

I'm seeing him tomorrow.

I do write things down that come to mind sometimes. I wrote down some things that I talk about here mostly.

We haven't really discussed the bullying that much. I'm not sure where we are headed. It seems like nowhere at this stage.

She is nice, totally different from me. She isn't into gaming and stuff. No, not Taylor Swift. She likes heavy metal, I think. She will get along with the other lady. They both like the same stuff. @ENKELI

Re: Not Coping

To be honest with my mood being so low, not that great, but I'll have to muster up something to seem okay.

Yeah, I'll try to. It can be hard being vulnerable @amber22

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 you definitely need to discuss the bullying with him lovely, especially if you think it's going nowhere at the moment.

Do you think writing thoughts and feelings down helps? For me it was cathartic, ie a release and with my anxiety it would often help calm me down for a bit.

Is there like a Swifties fan group in Melbourne? Maybe that's something you could start? That way you could meet with like minded people and talk about the concert and stuff.

I used to be a fan of a TV show and joined forums and groups related to the show. I ended up meeting several people through it, and 20 years on I am still friends with some of them. I don't know if there is anything like that available?

Even just talking to someone who shares the same interest can help.

Re: Not Coping

I'm not sure how talking about it will help @ENKELI

Sorry for taking so long to respond. I've just been with the guy I was meeting.

I'm not sure I could have a look, but I'm catching up with a group of friends on Saturday.

I'm not sure I do write some things.
