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

Just wanted to say hi to @Jynx too here, I can see we are both sharing different perspectives with @Birdofparadise8 and I love that 🙂

I think it's healthy and important to learn how different minds interpret situations, feelings, people and places. I hope it's helpful and supportive to you @Birdofparadise8 🙂

Re: Not Coping

Aww hey to you too @PizzaMondo!! Yeah agreed, it's what forums is all about in my opinion - sharing thoughts, ideas, experiences, and support, and getting to see new perspectives! Love it 💜

@Birdofparadise8 that's fair enough. I mean, you could look at it like... you're not 'putting it on them', more just notifying them so they know what's up, and so that you don't feel like you have to hide and suppress yourself around them. But I trust you will find the path that works best for you 😊

Re: Not Coping

Thank you @Jynx @PizzaMondo

I'll reply to the bit you but I'm at the uni res mandatory - sex, drugs, alcaholo and MH stuff.

Funny I forgot that one of the girl I used to talk to last year would be here. The other one where I cried for two hours straight I haven't seen yet. I'm kind of freaking out.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I can understand that! It helps me to try to remember that people are never judging us as harshly as we judge ourselves. I'm sure it'll end up all okay 🤞

Re: Not Coping

Yeah, it's fine. I'm just happy I didn't see the other one who got me very upset last year.

We got a free boritto after the welcome to res so that was good @Jynx

Re: Not Coping

I'm so nervous for them. I think we talked about that a few days ago and how I get really sweaty and anxious @Jynx

Re: Not Coping

Normal to be nervous @Birdofparadise8 😉

Do you remember feeling the same way before last term/last year's classes started?
