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

Now my dad is complaining I didn’t say thank you to mum for cooking all the food yesterday. I am thankful but once I got that email I was a mess. I’m sure they knew something was off @ENKELI

I will say thank you today. I just wanted to crawl into a hole at that point.

Re: Not Coping

She is also with the kids they just left @Birdofparadise8

- Mow front lawn and nature strip including the edges
- Remove dead tomato plants and redo that garden bed
- List spare car seat and kids scooter on marketplace and hopefully sell them both asap
- plant seedlings in the cleared garden beds
- organise spare plastic pots and drop off unneeded plastic ones to the Bunnings swap-over
- Get a new gas bottle for the bbq while I’m out
- Finish the flat pack that my darling wife started and then gave up
- see if I can track down and program a new garage remote (this will be my most hated on the list)
- need to pull the weeds out from the the stones in the side area

thanks for helping me come up with the list! It was all in my head so at least it’s out now
