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

I think its easy to forget there is a whole world for that person that doesnt centre around your conversation with them doesn’t mean its not important to them but there is a heap of other things going on in the background for someone to not respond or have to go and it’s not personal

Re: Not Coping

Yeah, I know @ArraDreaming @Blackbird11

It's just me. I can't help it. I can't help who I am.

Be gentle with yourself @Birdofparadise8

You are growing and changing and you are beautiful.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 maybe you need to learn to be okay with your own company. Social support is healthy and good in moderation, but people are also more likely to withdraw if they feel like there is an expectation to fill the void. Other people can’t fill that void, only you can. Maybe worth having a conversation with your psych about it. I don’t mean to sound rude, sorry if it comes across that way

Re: Not Coping

It's okay. He wasn't doing anything wrong. It's just me catastrophising and making it about myself @creative_writer

Just pretend I didn't say anything.

Re: Not Coping

Following on with what part @tyme?

Me being self-centred and a hypocrite.

Please just forget what I said about my uncle. It doesn't matter, I shouldn't have said it.
