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

@tyme

this is the first time I've had SI since discharge. That's why it's really odd, as the mood stabiliser I'm on has anti-suicidal properties.

Are you on GS tonight?

Re: Not Coping

I'm half on GS admin work, but I'll be around a little later @Birdofparadise8

What's happening @Birdofparadise8 ? I just had some more rocky road and it wasn't nice because I had it in the fridge... chocolate in the fridge is a no no.

This arvo, I cleaned the pool in prep for Sunday when it's supposedly really warm.

What you don't like chocolate in the fridge @tyme

Why?

What isn't wrong with me.

Did you see the squishmallow I got to cuddle? It's better than nothing.

And that I got a job interview on Monday. @tyme

Re: Not Coping

No... where's this squishmallow??? You should see how many we have of those things at home! The big ones are actually super cuddly and have a bit of a push back when you hug them. I like sleeping on them like a pillow @Birdofparadise8

But yes, a squishmallow is better than nothing.

Job interview! Awesome! Good luck with it! Do you think the job market has slowed down? I sorta feel it has, but I'm not sure because I'm not actively in it.

It was from this afternoon when I was talking to another PSW. It might be a page or two back.

Yeah, it is. God, I hope I get it. I have $150 in my bank plus $100 woolwoerths voucher from mum so not a lot. I am so desperate for a job. I didn't even get an interview for Coles. They rejected me. And a few other places. I thought I wasn't going to get another interview.

I keep looking, and yes, there isn't a lot going for what I'm looking for and close to where I am.

Mum keeps sending me things that are like 40-plus minutes away. That's too far. It's more than halfway to where we had a shack before it got sold last year. I miss it. I miss my nan as well. @tyme

I hope my GP will have good news for me on Wednesday. I don't understand why my levels went down.

Re: Not Coping

Fingers crossed for the job @Birdofparadise8 . You're applying for anything, right? Or are you selective with what you apply for? I remember you saying you'd just go for anything.

For some people, jobs just fall into their laps, while for others, it's a lot harder. If any place 'rejected' you, I wonder if you can get feedback as to why?

Can you work as a uni advisor?

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

The uni doesn't have any jobs, and yes, I've been looking everywhere.

This interview is for my comfort zone, admin, haha.

No, most of them said because of the number of applicants, they can't offer feedback. @tyme

I've sent you an email, by the way.
