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

Did I say nobody helps @ArraDreaming?

If I did, I take that back @ArraDreaming

I value everyone here.

“That is really helpful. You are breaking that down for me. I'm not being rude, but others just keep telling me to accept it and do not even help me with it. “

im not meaning to offend you but interested to know what your expectations are….@birdofparadise8

Re: Not Coping

Can you repost the post where I said that @ArraDreaming?

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

because reality is just going on and talking about it repeatedly isn’t actually helpful @Birdofparadise8 hence why people are trying to help you accept it and opposed to just keeping going on about it because that’s not going to help hiu

Ok, I think I didn't say that right.

Is that the post with @Snowie

No, I meant how they broke down steps to help me work out how to accept it, whereas others just say you need to accept it.

Fair enough

Re: Not Coping

I was never meaning no one helps. @ArraDreaming

Please don't think that of me.

@Birdofparadise8 I really do not mean to add to any pain or to cause any further hurt in saying what I am about to say - this is completely something to think about in respect to both here and maybe in the future at RO...

What @ArraDreaming has highlighted is the way the written word can come across as something you may not want it to. In the heat of the moment what you say may not be exactly what you are thinking but it came across as no-one wanting to help despite numerous members over the past few days trying to help. This can be very hurtful to those members also.

In respect to members engaging this morning and then leaving - I am going to be blunt - everyone here has their own things going on and own lives they lead. No member can expect an instant reply nor a prolonged conversation - if that happens then great but putting all your eggs into that particular basket is neither practical nor attainable. This is why we and maybe RO encourage you to find supports that are outside of these forums. I do know you are trying to do that but in your own words "I'm always on here" I echo @ArraDreaming 's question about what it is you want from here? I know you have said support but what does that look like for you? And how can we as peers provide that support when we try to help but you shut the door on so many suggestions?

I really am not meaning to be hurtful here as those questions come from a place of concern as well as experience.
