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

@Birdofparadise8 It is not about 'going on about things" or 'trying to do better' Hon. It is more we have been there and experienced similar things and are trying to help you develop strategies and/or help to find a better path.

Yes so much more it's so annoying @Zoe7

It's not like I'm going over about it. Literally this morning, I was talking to Snowie about how to accept it because some people just say I need to accept it but don't offer any advice on how to do it.

I am repeating myself from before, but I wasn't trying to attack anyone or make it like people aren't trying to help. Sometimes things aren't very clear or come across the wrong way.

I have no clue I've just been feeling crap all day. So it could be a bit of both.

I am going to make a suggestion here @Birdofparadise8 Before you press post - read and re-read your message, take a step back for a few minutes then come back to it. This has two advantages - 1. you can see if the meaning that is intended is actually what is meant and 2. you may find a more constructive way to write what you want.

Why, what did I say that was wrong? @Zoe7

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

Not in your previous post but in general @Birdofparadise8 to avoid things like 'nobody helps' from earlier. If I had read that in isolation from your further clarifying posts then I would have been annoyed so just trying to help you avoid such situations in the future.

Re: Not Coping

That is definitely true. The part about being challenged and triggering defences. I do feel like I'm being attacked at times for things I say or how I'm reacting to things in my personal environment I share.

That is very true, as well as the criticism of my entire person.

I'm feeling better now anyway @Jynx

Re: Not Coping

Right okay.

I'm sorry if I've been rude or aggressive @Zoe7

@Jynx, the explanation sounds a lot like how I feel when I'm challenged.

My psych does it because I expect it, and I'm not feeling all the emotion I do like I do at night time. So when I come on here. I find the challenging stuff extra hard.

Re: Not Coping

@Jynx, is this the same as what happened with the girl on the last day I was in the hospital and how I went on about it for a long time?

Re: Not Coping

How can I change it?

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I need to get my act together soon and I seem to be wasting my life doing nothing.

Do you have classes tomorrow?
