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

@Birdofparadise8, I don’t have placement till mid year. As much as I love the band, if I listen to them all day, it gets a bit too much. Then again, I also have sensory sensitivities

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I feel like sad music is the right amounts can help you process, once it’s more than that, it makes you feel worse. Nothing wrong with having a good cry 💖

Re: Not Coping

It is amazing how you can resonate with music so much. I was listening to it and all the words in some of the songs were just describing all these feelings I have.

Yeah, once it's enough. I'm not crying anymore. I just tried to wax my face and omg it hurt so bad. I definitely prefer downstairs being waxed over my face. It's so sore and red now. I was doing along my jaw. @creative_writer

So painful.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I feel like tweezers or face epilators are better for the face. I use a tweezer to get rid of my secret monobrow.

I’m heading off to bed. Goodnight 💖

Re: Not Coping

Yeah it's gnarly out there today @Birdofparadise8! So windy, I even felt my house shaking! Granted I live in a lil granny flat so it's not exactly a beacon of stable construction 🤣

You got air con to hide away in?

Re: Not Coping

Nah the uni didn't put aircon in all the apartments. I have my windows shut and blinds down with the fan going so that's enough for today @Jynx
