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

@ENKELI ragdolls are so cute. I’m sure if I saw I’ll have the urge to bite his cute fluffy face. Having regular sleep patterns is so important for bipolar. I know if my sleep patterns shift, mood gets affected

Hahahahaha, no definitely @tyme

Pucking Around

PUCKING AROUND is a spicy 'why choose' hockey romance. This book stands alone as the first in a brand new hockey romance series. For a full list of tropes, tags, and CWs, see the author's website.

My 16-year-old cousin has read it and said I would like it.

Okay, it was a good session, but I just feel bad. If you want to read it. It would give more context as to why he said I was being passive-aggressive at one point, and silly I was in the moment upset I said something mean I didn't even say sorry.

Re: Not Coping

@creative_writer if you can study instead of work that's what I would do too. I was fortunate that I was able to draw on my super during COVID so I could pay my mortgage otherwise I would have been shot. I was out of full time work for nearly 18 months, I had a few casual jobs for a month or 2 here and there and I was also home schooling my Godchildren for a stage so that kept me busy.

I finally got full time casual work, was bullied and told I was no longer required, then got the job I was forced to leave last year again due to bullying.
That's the other thing that worries me, am I going to be bullied again?

I have an 80's Quiz Night on Saturday and will probably start a diamond painting. I also want to check the freezers and maybe do some cooking.

How about yourself, aside from keeping cool?

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I KNEW it had something to do with nutrition!

What field do you want to end up working in?

I wanted to get into sound engineering after I left school and studied at the Academy of Performing Arts for 2 years. I deferred when my grandmother passed away and never went back. I wish I had but there is too much in life to regret as it is...

I always get a warm happy feeling when it's a subject I know so I'm happy to hear you're looking forward to it.

How many classes do you have each week?

Re: Not Coping

I'm on campus three days a week. I also live on campus, hahaha.

Tomorrow I have 6 hours of classes. @ENKELI

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 so no excuse for being late to class!! Lol!

6 hours, that will keep you occupied.

I wouldn't mind doing some online study to keep my brain active but I don't know what I'd study. Maybe how to motivate people ha ha ha!

Re: Not Coping

@ENKELI I hope the new job you get is a good fit for you and is a nurturing environment. I don’t think any job is worth your mental health. When I was initially allocated a crap placement last year, it was very rough. Constantly felt judged and not supported. I was so stressed that I would disassociate and even had flashbacks on placement. Yet my behaviour was misread as not interested. Once I got the re-allocation I could tell the difference

Re: Not Coping

Yes no excuse, lol @ENKELI

That sounds cool. I'm sure could find something.

You could do MH peer work and offer that for free as well. You'd also make a great peer worker.

Never too late to start.
