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

Pardon? @Birdofparadise8 why are you getting frustrated at people legitimately trying their best to help, we are people too with lived experienced some including mine which is very very similar so we are trying to help, but also we aren’t trained professionals so expecting an answer to this problem the way you are is unrealistic. This is your thing to deal with now I’m stepping back from this i’ve had enough I have done all I can to help.

there have times this week I have gone above and beyond to offer a response to you hoping to help you, only to met with resistance, I am myself extremely overwhelmed and burnt out but I have still been there for you despite that.

Re: Not Coping

You just mentioned about accepting it. I was just wanting to see what you thought about why my psych said. @ArraDreaming

Re: Not Coping

And I shared what I thought… I get the feeling, I could be wrong that your psych isn’t aware of the extent of the venting done here, just telling someone you have been talking to people on here and being met with push back and told to accept it is very different to explaining that you are repeating the same thing to multiple people multiple times a day and when support has been offered here you haven’t particularly agreed. Anyway. I don’t have the energy anymore for this, I like you as person, but I don’t like this situation conversation. Feel free to chat to me about anything else and I will respond when I can, but I’m not contributing to this anymore

Re: Not Coping

I showed him so he knows. I printed everything out @ArraDreaming

Why should I agree with everything everyone has said?

I've literally said at times I just want to talk and don't want people to try and fix things, but people still say things.

Re: Not Coping

@creative_writer I was just asking a question from what my psych said today.

Re: Not Coping

because repeatedly just talking about isn’t proven to helpful beyond the first couple of times that’s the thing here

Re: Not Coping

You are doing the right things to come to terms with the RO decision @Birdofparadise8. No matter what, the decision is not changing, you can only live with it and eventually you will have to let it go, and focus on how you will live your life moving forward. It is sad that it's happened and it's so good to hear you are looking after yourself.

I do have online training this evening.
