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 great to hear that uni was good @Birdofparadise8 I'm really enjoying being back at TAFE for the year.

Sounds like you are having a tough time at the moment with negative thoughts. What has worked in the past to distract you or change your thought pattern?

I'm doing pretty good thank you just settling into TAFE which makes my week is busier and I have an assessment to work on in a group. I nearly bought more Taylor Swift records the other day but I'm waiting for the April sale at Jb Hi Fi. And then there's her new album coming out which I'd love to get too.

Re: Not Coping

Have you seen the girl's group you started hanging out with lately @Birdofparadise8? Are any of them at uni this year too? RiverSeal

Re: Not Coping

No I had covid last week and I don't think we can hangout until the end of the month.

No, they have all finished uni @RiverSeal

Re: Not Coping

Oh, sorry to hear that you had covid and I hope it wasn't too bad @Birdofparadise8. I had it a couple of months ago too for the second time.

It's good you are still doing things with them, and you can look for other groups too. Where do you think you could join a similar group or maybe something different?

Re: Not Coping

Hi @Birdofparadise8, I’ve been laying low today. I think I got a throat infection, it feels tender on my left side, also had awful jaw pain. I hope today has been better for you 💖

Re: Not Coping

Not really, I don't have enough time. If I can see them every so often, that is okay.

I might meet more people at uni as well. @RiverSeal

Re: Not Coping

Oh no @creative_writer I'm sorry.

The day has been okay. I saw my uncle, but tonight hasn't been good. I can't stop thinking bad things. I feel so bad.
