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

@Birdofparadise8, no need to apologise. It is all good. BP could go either way.

@Jynx, I think music is one of those things, it can have a powerful impact on an individual’s wellbeing. I could try some stretches. Just got out of my active leggings (since they seem to help with lightheadedness) and into comfy bamboo lounge pants. I’ve gotten myself in bed but not sure if I can stay here, I feel rather agitated again😩. This keeps happening. I also wished the days weren’t so fricken long in Melbourne

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 Perhaps telling yourself that your mind is stupid is part of why things are so rough right now.

@creative_writer yeah music really is the language of the soul hey. So powerful.

Agitation to me speaks of energy that wants out - any way you could burn it off?

Re: Not Coping

I don't think I can be positive at all right now @Jynx

Things have just turned 360 so quickly.

Re: Not Coping

@Jynx, I feel like I need to scream, break something, do something aggressive. I hate feeling so restless and depressed. Why did they take this from me? If I give in, I let them win. Am I strong enough to not them win?

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 That really sucks hun, I'm sorry. I know it wouldn't be with your regular, but KHL is always an option.

@creative_writer if your instincts are telling you that you have rage that needs to be expressed, then express it! Scream into pillow, write angry words then shred or burn them, throw balled up paper at the wall. Anger floods us with adrenaline and it can really help to get it out with movement.

Both of you are strong enough to get through these hectic, heavy times 💪💜

Re: Not Coping

Hey @Birdofparadise8 , I tried to catch up, but didn't get through all the posts.

The last time we spoke, you were working through not being able to hug your psych, and I mentioned you actually did very well with it....

I'm reading now that things have been very hard M-W? Do I have that right? So what was the good news?

Re: Not Coping

She is probably working tonight @Jynx

It's getting too late now. I don't want to bother them.

I'm worried about what my psych will say. I've been having some SI and last time i told him he said it's getting in the way of us working. But I can't help feeling that way.

Literally, last week, I wanted to stop the weekly med pick-up. Where if I tell my GP on Friday how I'm feeling, I highly doubt that will happen. I feel so out of control. I don't understand this it's been like a rapid decline.

Re: Not Coping

@Jynx, I’m not sure how much is left of me, sorry. I can’t keep going on like this so often. I shouldn’t need so many PRNs. I’m trying not to take the PRN again, because I’ve been taking them more lately, it shouldn’t be this often. I hate this life
