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

Ohhh noooo @Birdofparadise8 that sucks!! I hope it doesn't hit you too hard. Fingers crossed. What an awful turn of events 😓

I'm signing off so I will bid you goodnight, but please get lots of rest, drink plenty of fluids, and take it slow. Lots of Netflix on the cards I imagine! Chat to you next time hun 💜🫂

I'm just checking in after a short hiatus.

@Birdofparadise8 glad the concert was everything and more. I can imagine it would have been something rather special.

I think once you get to know your roomiest it might be an idea to tell them about your MH, even just a sanitised version. You never know, they may have experience and want to be there for you. Just remember you are amazing and strong. And loved beyond measure.

I finally got the courage up to tell my father how I felt about him screwing me around and he actually responded in a positive way. I didn't expect him to apologise but he did own his part in my terrible year last year. It was a refreshing change.

Got in the car to visit my mum and the temp was 48. I feel like a wet rag toward the end of the day, this heat truly is unbearable.

@Jynx hope all going well for you

@tyme may your Tuesday be full of love

@Glisten stay cool my friend, I hope you're in the cool part of Perth aka Hell!!

Everyone else, forgive me my brain is fried. I wish y'all thebest and more because that's what you deserve 🤩😍

Hey @ENKELI I’m so happy you spoke your truth - Big HUGS!

I’m so proud of you!

You were faithful to yourself and look what happened, your father took responsibility for his actions. WINNING


I find the more I stay true to myself, the easier it is.

Less effort

Less wasted energy

Saying “No thank you”.

Boundaries - No ifs. No buts.

Even yesterday at the Women’s Shed when they are decoupaging - I hate.

But I’ll sit with them and I’ll read about routing techniques and Japanese woodworking joins.

4am 25* I’m going to go for a walk/run and watch the sun come across from the Eastern States.

@ENKELI - is coping ⭐️

Hi @ENKELI

Yeah, I'll see how things go over the next few weeks.

That is so good you told your dad how you feel. I hope your mum is okay.

I have COVID-19 now. I tested positive yesterday. I must have got it at the concert on Saturday.

How is everyone today? Does anyone have anything on today?

I'm stuck at home with Covid now.
