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

So much going on for you @Birdofparadise8 .

As much as you don't want to be 'alone', are you ready to meet someone and have all that added to your stress? Please remember your boundaries early on. You need to protect yourself.

As for the med pick up, what do you think?

Re: Not Coping

Do you mean the guy I met yesterday on the date or my friend about his ex @tyme?

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, you can make more friends, join uni groups with similar interests.

As much as being lonely hurts, you are strong enough to get through it, because you have gotten through it in the past. I feel lonely often too, though I try to convince myself I don’t need people and I’m better off alone as I don’t naturally feel safe around people. Probably not a proper coping mechanism. We all cope with things differently

Re: Not Coping

Hi @Snowie

I'm seeing my GP today. I hope she can increase one of my meds.

It's just scary how things can go so far down so quickly.

My roommate is going back home for a week, so I'll have the place to myself. It's good and bad, but she is in her room most of the time.

Re: Not Coping

I hope your gp appt. goes well @Birdofparadise8 and that they can increase your meds. Hopefully that makes a difference for you and things don't continue to spiral down.

Sometimes having the place to yourself is a good thing. At least you won't have to be quiet in the mornings now!
