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

@Birdofparadise8, sorry if I said anything. Maybe it’s my own personal stuff coming out here too. If I find someone pulling in too hard, I pull back

Re: Not Coping

No, it's not about you or anyone else here.

I just shouldn't have said what I said as you are all correct in saying about him being busy.

@ENKELI @Blackbird11

You wouldn't believe me when I was talking to my cousin, and I told her I hadn't got a job yet. She asked if I had been going to places and applying for jobs.

I have been online, but not in person yet. She also asked if I had been applying for everything. WHich I have been. I thought it was odd seeing she is younger than me and I've been working for the past five years and her a few months.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 emotional reactions are normal but we can choose what narrative to take

Re: Not Coping

That is true @creative_writer

I did mean my uncle, but it happens with my aunt as well.
