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

Re: Not Coping

Was it hard working there @creative_writer

I wish when I called, I would have gotten a person like you. One time, the lady said are you going to do it or not. I said no, but she was so rude about it. Another was like stomp around your house, and you'll feel better. Goodbye.

Once you're better, would you go back?

Did working there cause a shift in your MH, and that's why you stopped?

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, Lifeline can be hit or miss. I hope to be back someday, but that day isn’t anytime soon. I got triggered really badly once so had to take a break after then

Re: Not Coping

I'm sure you'll be able to get there.

I have no idea how you do it.

I can get emotional just talking online on here when someone is struggling, let alone over the phone. @creative_writer
