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

Haha sure do @Birdofparadise8 I'm very much a night owl 🦉

I prefer it anyway, less crowded, heat of the day is gone, and night time is when I'm most alert/able to focus.

Re: Not Coping

Ah okay @Jynx

You would love my roommates then they both stay up late and do gaming.

I'm neither of them so it's a little hard when I get up early.

Re: Not Coping

I can imagine @Birdofparadise8 it's hard to be on such different schedules. Do they keep you up at all?

Re: Not Coping

There not here at the moment. I don't think they will be back until mid next week.

No they haven't my sleeping meds help with that. @Jynx

One of them texted me at 10 am in the morning last week to turn the tv down because she was sleeping. That day I got up at 6:30 am.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I'm glad you've got sleepy meds to help. It can be hard finding a new balance/routine with housemates! I'm sure you'll find your rhythm 😊

Re: Not Coping

Aw @Birdofparadise8 sorry to hear you're not doing well. It sucks. This heat is just so draining and it doesn't help the mental health. I have to wait until tomorrow before I can get my anti anxiety meds and having to go out in the heat to get them isn't a happy thought.

Have to ask, why do you have to pick up your meds each week? That must be so annoying for you!
