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

Aww what @Birdofparadise8 that sucks! How stingy, not like we live in one of the hottest climates or anything 😒

Gotta resort to the ol' damp face washer + fan trick I spose! You have class at all today or have you been able to avoid leaving the house? It rained here about an hour ago! Hot, windy, rainy, so gnarly!

Ohhhh dang my power just went out!! 😓

Re: Not Coping

I don't start for another two weeks @Jynx

However, I got my unit info for two of my classes. Which is exciting, but nerve-wracking. I'm so worried about the first week and meeting everyone and when it comes to the labs I won't have anyone to work with. I don't like not being in control. It's scary not knowing who will be in my classes and then all the judgment I'll feel if I am alone.

I know it's all irrational but I've been like this since primary school.

Re: Not Coping

I'm not good today @creative_writer

Oh really that must suck. I hope you don't have a lot of food in your fridge. Power here at uni is okay.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8,

What’s been up.

Hopefully the power will return shortly. It is very hot, I was in the shower and the power randomly disappeared, probably because of the crazy weather

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 power outage here wiped out my internet for a while there! I think I am back now, unless another storm passes through!

I think it's totally understandable for you to be quite nervous! You had a pretty crappy bunch of experiences during school, so your body's survival system is preparing for the worst. It can help to try to remind yourself that the 'worst' is never something that's inevitable, and that there may be opportunity to build some solid connections in your new classes! I doubt you'll be the only one flying solo, and definitely not the only one who is feeling nervous! 😊

Re: Not Coping

It's just so hard. I sweat so much and you can see it under my armpits it's so embarrassing.

I'm sure it can't be too bad in the end. The past two years at uni no one as been mean or rude to me. @Jynx
