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

Re: Not Coping

Ah, okay, I get it now.

I'll do legs today. There are many machines, and I have some stretching to do before and after. @Shaz51

What else are you doing today?

I will go to the supermarket and Kmart. I need a foam roller. I have very tight hips and bottom and quadriceps muscles. I'm seeing an osteo, and I have a few exercises to do, and some are very painful. I have a sacroiliac joint (SIJ) sprain. So that's fun.

I'm going to make chicken wraps.

Re: Not Coping

Hi @Birdofparadise8, how are you doing today, hon?

I’m exhausted and been staying in dark room to prevent a full blown migraine and agitation from coming back. Feeling absolutely shattered though, but it’s okay, I’m not suicidal

Re: Not Coping

Oh no, I'm so sorry @creative_writer

Eh, I'm not emotionally doing great, but I've been to the gym, Kmart and Woolies. Now I'm home and need to go to Coles and get the Great Ocean Road milk I like. They don't have it at woolies.

Re: Not Coping

Lucky you are getting a long weekend. We don't have that in Melbourne.

Mum asked if I wanted a show bag as a joke because I hadn't been to the show or the regatta since I was in prep on a school trip because Mum wouldn't let me go. For whatever reason, she had.

Eh, I'm here. Emotionally not great, but hey, what's new in my life? Lol.
