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

That's okay @Snowie

How is the hospital and ECT going? I hope you're feeling better.

Re: Not Coping

Been in 2 weeks so far @Birdofparadise8.

I get a certain amount of leave per day and can go out on leave 4 times per day too. Hubby and kids came and picked me up today and we went out for lunch.

Will probably sign out soon and go for a walk. Nice to see something other then the 4 walls of my room!

Re: Not Coping

That's a good idea @Snowie

A walk sounds nice.

Re: Not Coping

@Snowie, I’m holding up as much as I can considering I’ve been having body flashbacks again.

I hope you are doing okay. A walk sounds lovely, hun. I hope some fresh air helps you feel better. Will be around if you want to chat 💖🫂

@Birdofparadise8, I am feeling rather lightheaded but flashbacks have settled. How are you?
