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

@Birdofparadise8, prayers, I’m having dinner right now. Even being on the forums help, I don’t always have to seek help for myself, helping others helps you. Probably will distract myself too and try not to get caught up in thoughts around shame, I need a break. I probably will need to take PRN so I don’t barely sleep and wake up agitated again


Looks so good @ENKELI 💖. Maybe I should try diamond art

Re: Not Coping

Okay, that's good you have steps to take.

I'm just watching some uni lectures so that is distracting me @creative_writer

Re: Not Coping

The pokebowl was average @Birdofparadise8 . Wasn't what I was expecting. So I only had a bit and left the rest. Oh well. What did you have for dinner?

Re: Not Coping

Did your sister like it @tyme

I had a chicken schnitzel I cooked last week and put it in some bread with lettuce and mayo.

What are you doing tomorrow?

I have uni only one online class, study, gym and call with KHL.

Re: Not Coping

I didn't actually ask if she liked it. I think she did because she finished hers @Birdofparadise8

Your schnitzel sandwich sounds good.

I don't cook, but I've got a freezer full of meals. I need to start using some of them soon. They are meals people give me when they've got extras - not the ones from the shops.

I've got a pretty chill day tomorrow. Not doing much.

Re: Not Coping

That sounds nice @tyme.

One question for you tyme. Is everything okay after the other day?

I appreciate where you were coming from, but I'm unsure if that was the angle I was looking for. I wanted to explore the bullying.

I just want to move on from the bullying. It's been three years, and it still haunts me.

Would it be okay to talk about a bit of it now?

I'm discussing it with my psych, and I'm trying to get everything to fit in my memory correctly if that makes sense.

Re: Not Coping

Yes, of course everything is okay @Birdofparadise8 .

I'm not sure I'm the best person to talk about the bullying with, but I'm not sure I have much to say.

I recognise it's affected you and it occurred over a period of many years though.

Re: Not Coping

I think for me, I never got 'sad' over bullies because friendships were not important in my eyes. If someone did something, I'd just walked off. I never wanted to feel like I owed something to any 'friend'. To me, it was more like I talked to everyone but didn't care whether I had deep seeded, long-lasting friends or not. @Birdofparadise8

I think that's sort of what protected me too.

And that's why, even on the forums, if people don't 'talk' to me, it doesn't actually bother me one bit.

Hence I don't know if I'm the best one to talk to about friendships and bullies.

Re: Not Coping

Hi @Birdofparadise8, I’m here too. I’m on a “wanting to help people to forget my own problems” roll
