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

Sounds really tough @Birdofparadise8 can you imagine your happy place?

Re: Not Coping

If I shut my eyes, I don't see anything. @Blackbird11

I don't even know what would be my happy place. I'm really not happy right now. I'm really not okay.

Re: Not Coping

No, I don't like talking to strangers over the phone. I like KHL, but I've already spoken to my regular yesterday @Blackbird11

She was so proud of my progress and stuff when I didn't even know how she could be because I, for one, am not. If I were better, I wouldn't still be depressed for nearly two years now, I think. I first started having symptoms around March 2022.

Re: Not Coping

[In my experience] @Birdofparadise8 the best thing for anxiety is meds. I am still trying to find a coping mechanism that works.

I hope you feel better soon, both physically and mentally.

Re: Not Coping

You got COVID from your mum? The concert? @Birdofparadise8

I had COVID during NYE. I couldn't go anywhere even thought I was feeling fine. Actually, I legally COULD go, but I didn't feel it was right for me to go anywhere.

Re: Not Coping

I'm not sure that's something I should be relying on @ENKELI

Thank you though.

I got it from someone else at the concert.

I know the same here. I can go out, but I feel too sick to anyway, and I don't want to spread it to others. @tyme

Re: Not Coping

I'd only be able to talk for 20 minutes, and then I'll just continue to cry afterwards because she'll ask If I'm okay, and I'll have to say yes because I'm not suicidal, so it's not like she can do anything else. It's happened before it's not worth it. @Blackbird11

Re: Not Coping

That sounds really hard @Birdofparadise8

You are so important and you matter. It's not your fault.
