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

Hello @creative_writer 🙂

I'm doing well this afternoon! I can say I'd be doing better if the washing machine wasn't 'whirring' at me! 😛 Hopefully the cycle is almost done..

How about you? How are you spending the rest of your afternoon? 🙂

Hi @creative_writer !

This is PizzaMondo the water police! Here to remind you to stay hydrated and take a sip of water right now if you haven't already! 🙂

PizzaMondo out!

(Good reminder for me too, this heat is wayyyy too much!)

Re: Not Coping

That's a nice big handbag @Birdofparadise8 !

I like the colour of it. Might not be big enough to carry Pyle.. but I can imagine it still fits many things depending on where you're going too!

What other items bring you comfort that you could take with you in your bag?

I just found a photo online of Gordon online - looks like this:

I wish he was as big as Pyle!

Re: Not Coping

@outlander Oh gosh, I bet you can't wait for that sun to set!

Glad to know it's cooling down a bit, but I can imagine when your medical conditions flare up with the heat, it is very uncomfortable... good that you've been staying cool, and on top of the sodium and electrolytes!

While sitting in front of the fan today (thank you whoever created the fan!) have you been up to much else? Any movies or reading or anything like that?
