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.
That's a good idea what do you use for your bag. Is it a handbag?
I have one I'm not sure how much room I would have with all the stuff that's in it.

Re: Not Coping
Hmm, depends where I am going - I have a few different bags I alternate between.
For example: I have a tote bag, easy to chuck in anything I need but hurts my shoulder if I have to carry it all day.. 😞
Then, I have a small handbag (maybe the size of my head, which I know you can't see but an average sized head haha), enough to fit my purse, phone, lip balm, dettol (stay covid safe lol), some fidget toys including a rock or shell (even though I'll probably find more later on my walk...)
and lastly, a backpack if I am going to be out all day! So the sizes definitely vary.. and I pick and choose what I might need for the day.
Do you have some different size bags or tote bags at home you can switch between @Birdofparadise8 ??
