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 have no clue @ENKELI

Chat to you 😃

I have a quiz I should do before my lab tomorrow.

I also feel like I might cry after I have my dinner and go into my room. I try and stay in the living room for as long as possible so I don't cry because I don't want to be seen when crying.

Yeah I could only imagine @ArraDreaming

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 well I'll be around 😄

Have your dinner and then do your quiz. You'll work better on a full stomach...apparently!

Does staying in the living room make things better?

Re: Not Coping

I'm waiting for the roast lamb pie to cook @ENKELI. I'm so hungry. I got home very late.

I really don't know. I don't feel great and want to cry, so I guess I'm suppressing how I feel so that's not good.

Re: Not Coping

Have you ever heard of a self fulfilling prophecy @Birdofparadise8 the only reason I ask is because I wonder if talking about crying and expecting that you will actually brings that feeling on even more, and makes it more intense. I’m not saying you wouldnt feel bad already but is the act of crying bought on and made worse by the fact that you thinking you probably will? @Birdofparadise8
It’s the classic I think therefore I am. If I think I’m a failure I’m going to go through life setting myself up for failure even if it’s subconsciously…

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I can imagine, you're probably starving you poor thing.

Now that's a sticky one. On one hand suppressing your feelings is not good, but on the other it shows you have found a way to perhaps cope if you are in a situation where you want to cry but can't.

It might be something you can build on as a coping mechanism maybe. I don't know, I wish I did!

I need more space to hang my necklaces...!

Re: Not Coping

Yeah I know it's just hard not to think about it when it's more than likely I will cry. @ArraDreaming

It's a mindset I should try and change.
