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.
So, you mean the aftermath of the abandonment? Maybe I just don't know how to cope when I feel like people don't care about me. Yeah, I know. I made a few friends, and then a couple of months later, they disappeared. This was last year.
I'm an extrovert. I love being social and around people most of the time. I do find it hard when I have my depression clouding over me. @creative_writer

That was two weeks ago. It was nice. I hope it will become BF.
We are meeting on Wednesday and going to the movies and then coming back to my place. @tyme
Eh, not great if you see the post below. @tyme
Washing, I feel you. I have some I need to iron as well.

Re: Not Coping
@Birdofparadise8, I think you do need to click with people. Maybe they weren’t your people and that’s okay. You don’t need to fit everywhere. Maybe joining clubs may help you find friends with common interests. You have to broaden your social arisen and put yourself out there. Sometimes it’s not going to work and that’s okay.
Hi @tyme, nice to see you here too. I’m doing better today, had a really rough patch, I had to take PRN consecutively for three days which is not a usual occurrence, things were out of control. I am exhausted, so resting up. Ironing can take a lot of effort, I feel like my skirt needs ironing again, linen can be annoyingly prone to crinkling

Re: Not Coping
@creative_writer , I'm so glad you've had some reprieve from the pain and are feeling better. I wonder if it's anything to do with the warmer weather?
@Birdofparadise8 , the trip to the movies sounds nice 🙂 Are you going to cook for him when he goes to your place? Also, do you realise how many people don't iron or don't even own an iron?

@Birdofparadise8, I hope it works out with this group of girls 😊

Re: Not Coping
Hi @Snowie
I couldn't belive that @tyme
I only iron my dresses that need it and, when working, my work pants.
Did you see my posts?
Oh, and I'm not sure. The movie is in the avo, and we are having lunch and then going to the movie and will probably have something there. We can play it by year.

Re: Not Coping
@tyme, the heat can aggravate the pain, but I’m trying to stay cool and had lots of H2O 😎. I’ve put my skincare into the fridge, would be nice to have cool skincare tonight. I think I did need to break the circuit, PRNs do work well, I’ve always been avoiding too much light today due to sensitivity. Too much light can aggravate issues with migraines and agitation. I needed to reduce my sensory load today
