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

No, I haven't for weeks, to be honest @tyme. I like talking on here so I can come back and go when I want. It can be harder there, and I'd feel bad if I didn't answer.

Not having the best night as well. I'm unsure if you've seen any of my posts about my session with my psych.

I also have some study to do on the electrochemical properties of the nervous system. I'm learning about axons, dendrites, myelin and a lot of other things in my neurophysiology class. I also want to read my book called Pucking Around. It's so good.

@creative_writer thanks lovely. Yes COVID was a bad time all around.

Usually this time of year is when I'm competing with school leavers who have decided not to continue studying and as my cousin who was in recruitment told me, companies want to hire 18 year olds who cost less than mature people despite the lack of experience.

Most admin positions also want accounts experience and I have never done accounts. I'd be happy with a data entry job if they paid well enough.

I saw the weather forecast and I hope you have adequate cooling. This is one time I'm glad to be in Perth!

@Birdofparadise8 I was wrestling my cat as he decided that tripping me up in the kitchen was a good way to get fed. He is almost full ragdoll and has the traits of a ragdoll for the most part, but then there's this ginger moggie streak in him that causes him to try and end my life by weaving between my legs when I am walking. I swear he does it deliberately!

I am now trying to decide whether to make chicken korma for dinner or dig around the freezer for something else. Every time I hear what you've made I think I should try something a little more interesting than a jar of chicken tonight and some chicken and veg.

How about you? How's your book going?
What are you studying again? Sorry, I know you told me before but I forgot 😫

I need to sort out my sleep patterns so I am not still awake at 3am and sleeping in until 10. I always used to be a morning person but since the start of this year my sleeping patterns have changed. Weird.

Hahaha that's okay @ENKELI

I'm sure your cooking is good.

I'm just working on some tutorial questions for my neurophysiology class tomorrow morning.

It's so good that I actually know what to talk about.

I'm studying for a bachelor of Health Science majoring in nutrition.

Re: Not Coping

Nice @Birdofparadise8 . I love reading about neurons etc. esp about the neuroplasticity of the brain. It gives me so much hope when I reach how neuroplastic the brain is.

btw, I haven't read about your appt with your psych. I know you've posted it, but I haven't delved into it.

As for Pucking Around... interesting lol... what sort of book is it? Crime?

Re: Not Coping

@ENKELI, I did secure a job for a few months, it was okay, but I moved back to studies. I did work from home, so that was an advantage when everything was under COVID lockdowns. I also feel sometimes one can be too qualified too. Though COVID wasn’t the best time of my life, it was terrible. Lots of trauma stuff kept popping up and my mood was far from balanced so SI was thrown into the mix.

Do you have any plans for the weekend?
