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

Yeah, I do catastrophise @tyme

I do it all the time.

I have a job interview next Friday for a diabetes centre. They were very impressed with my resume and cover letter and that I'd worked in the same clinic before in Hobart.

That would be my dream job as I have a real passion for diabetes, and it will fit really well into my studies for then a future job there as a dietitian.

Re: Not Coping

OOoo! Nice. I'm glad he is open to learning and ready to speak to others for support @Birdofparadise8 . I really like his approach. And yes, phew he said he wants to see you weekly. Hope it works out.

Anyway, I'm off now. I'll see you tomorrow or over the weekend.

Re: Not Coping

Yes, thank god. I kept thinking there was something wrong with me because I could never answer his question about how it made me feel at the moment.

I just don't get why I find it hard to feel when I'm with him compared to how I can feel many emotions at home.

All good. Have a good night.

Re: Not Coping

Hi @Birdofparadise8 went into hospital for ECT today. In at least 2 weeks. Will probably end up being longer.

How is your day going?

Hi @Blackbird11

How are you? It's been a while since we have spoken. I hope study and work are going okay.

I've been worried.

Hi @Birdofparadise8

Apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I'm doing ok and have been busy with studying and working. How have you been? Have you found work yet? Have you had time to be creative?
