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

@Birdofparadise8our old house they charged us well below market rent for, as they had plans to knock it down eventually so could not give us a long term agreement but it ended up being ages in the end. Was the nicest old house with a massive yard we even had our wedding party in the garden. Wouldn’t get rent that cheap anywhere else we were paying in the low 300s.
Then we discovered a pretty bad mold problem, opened up the cupboard one day and all our coats had mold on them, things we had in storage and in our laundry cupboard were all moldy. We just found out we were having another kid and we were all always sick, so we decided to get out as soon as we could. We are in a much newer bigger house now that fits our family better but we are paying more than double….

It was pretty small though probably would have driven us bonkers having all 5 us in there

Re: Not Coping

I like the suburbs I'm in I wouldn't want to be any closer to the city. It's too busy @ArraDreaming

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 yeah same… even when I would visit my mum and my sister in the west it was far too much city for me I couldn’t live there
I want the opposite… I want to go out further and have land, even just an acre will do…
