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

Hi @Birdofparadise8, @Captain24, @Zoe7, @Shaz51 and anyone else on. Hope you are all having a good afternoon 💖🤗

Not doing so great, don’t want to say too much because I don’t want trigger anyone, just been trying to resist SH urges.

I definitely feel you there @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 it can be hard to resist. It really can. Sending you hugs 💗. I spoke to SANE counselling service, which helped a bit. Right now I just want someone to hold me but not really feeling it when I hug people. Maybe I am too disconnected?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Thank you @Birdofparadise8 and @Shaz51 ❤️❤️❤️. I hope things would be better once I take my night meds and PRN before I sleep. I have a counsellor’s appointment on Wednesday too.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Sometimes I wish there were more responses than thumbs up @Captain24 and @Shaz51. Would have used the smiling emoji for the Gemini comment!
