Something’s not right

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

Hey @Snowie , how's today treating you?

@Birdofparadise8 , I'm slowly getting through all the posts and I'm reading a lot about you thinking no on e cares, and perhaps abandonment? Is that what you are referring to? Just a questions, are you satisfied within yourself?

Re: Not Coping

@Snowie, better than I have been for a while, not perfect, but a step in the right direction I hope. Took a few PRNs to get here.

@Birdofparadise8, I’m not really doing much tonight. I’m in front of the fan. Chilling on the bed. I might go back to trying to memorise Quran verses. I’ll try to go to bed early (maybe around 10:00-10:30) because getting up early helps me be productive

Re: Not Coping

Yes exactly @tyme

Oh well, I hate myself, I don't have a job, and it's not like my depression is in the best spot, and I don't have any self-worth, and I'm crap at self-compassion. So I guess not. But hey, once I get a job and uni starts, things will be a little better.

Re: Not Coping

Ah okay cool @creative_writer

I find that as well. When I get up earlier I do a lot more.

I'm making a healthier Weetbix slice and a dinner mint. I'll post the recipes tomorrow.

thanks @creative_writer

@tyme they won't start ect till at least Wednesday now. Pdoc wants a meeting with hubby and myself Monday afternoon. Freaking out about that one.

So looks like I will be in here for longer then 2 weeks now. Since I was taking so many prn before I came in, the prn I get know don't feel like that are really doing anything.

Bored, frustrated, angry, annoyed....could keep going.

Re: Not Coping

Argh @Snowie ,

That sounds annoying @Snowie that it's so frustrating. I wonder if you will find some inner talent you have hiding while you are there? I hope the meeting goes well.

@Birdofparadise8 , I wonder if the work is to work on your relationship with yourself rather than relying on external things to soothe you? I know this was the case for me. I used to rely on people saying the right thing or doing the right thing, but now, I find I don't care at all because being 'okay' comes from within. I'm not sure I'm making sense. And remember, you have honestly come so far. Don't let this little hiccup pull you down.

@creative_writer Nice idea about putting skincare in the fridge. I never thought of doing that! It must feel so smoothing on your skin when it comes to using it! I might try it.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I hope it turns out delicious 🙂

@Snowie, I hope the meeting goes well and that you find it helpful. I know it’s hard being admitted, but I do hope you find it healing 💖

@tyme, you know how I was experiencing a mood episode with mixed features, I sort of bought lots of stuff, including a beauty fridge. Did it make me feel good, yes? But it lightened my bank account. That’s probably the most impulsive thing I did, I think I caught it early enough
