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.
@PizzaMondo, yes I have safe food. I think it’s a lot easier at home. I prefer not overdoing it with spices. Salad, certain fruit and yoghurt, nuts are my go to as snacks. I would imagine being celiac would mean you would have to be extra careful, guts can be sensitive. I can get migraines from certain foods so I feel I need to be careful when eating out. I think giving this GP a go would be worth it, she is still fairly new to me and I don’t know her well. It’s been okay so far.
@outlander, it’s frustrating when doctors assume it’s mental health. I had physical issues even before my mental health went down a shit hole. I had aches and pains as a teen. I got it brushed off as growing pains, but I still feel stiffness around all my joints, and mild swelling is not unusual. I’ve had arthritis ruled it, it’s probably something else but not sure what

Re: Not Coping
hey @Birdofparadise8 how are you doing?
I have been exhausted the last couple of days with the heat. Thankfully it's cooled down but it's going to get extreme again at the end of the week.
You must be excited that TS has dropped another album. Which day are you going to the concert?
I hope you are feeling better mentally, I've been thinking about you.
Hugs 🤗

Hi @ENKELI
Nice to hear from you.
I know now it's been raining here in Melb today.
OMG, yes, I am. I couldn't believe it when I found out. Yay.
I'm going on the 17th with my mum. I can't wait.

Re: Not Coping
@Birdofparadise8 I still think she's going to drop Reputation TV with all the hints going around.
And I can't believe I know this information!! Ha ha.
How are you going?

Re: Not Coping
I hope so. I love that album @ENKELI
Do you listen to her music much?
I had a job interview today. It went well, and it's less than an eight-minute walk from my uni apartment.

Re: Not Coping
@Birdofparadise8 I have been lately. I like most of her music but I'm not enough of a fan to go see her live.
How do you feel the interview went? it would be awesome if you got it.
Ah, okay, fair enough, and she isn't going to Perth.
It went well. I should know by the end of the week @ENKELI

Re: Not Coping
Sorry I didn't answer your question about how I am. I'm not really sure. I'm not happy or okay, but I'm trying to avoid thinking about how I am feeling because I don't want to start crying. @ENKELI
This will most likely end up happening tonight anyway, or at least go into that space.
