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 both would drive me insane. I used to work with a woman who would just burp loudly. She never excused herself or tried to cover it up. It was disgusting! I asked her if she could perhaps cover her mouth, nope didn't happen.

As for the dishes, people know better than to leave dishes in the sink too long. I can't stand a messy kitchen, never have been able to. Things have to be washed, dried and put away! I may be messy in my own space (ie bedroom, ensuite - I keep forgetting to put my makeup away) but don't mess the kitchen or I will snap!

Are you able to have a roommate meeting or leave a note and ask very gently if the others could clean up after themselves?
As for the noisy one, she may not realise she's making the noise. You'll have to approach that one very softly softly so as not to make her mad.

I honestly don't know how you do it, living with strangers. You're braver than me that's for sure!

Okay, thank you for sharing @Former-Member

You have a very insightful lens on you. You have a lot of knowledge. You sound like you understand yourself very well and how to handle things if they come up. I wish I could.

I know it's so annoying. It's their stuff, so I can't really say anything about it.

They didn't even include me on Monday to get dessert. I'm not sure if we spoke then or not.

They are all clean by their standards. However, not mine. Some of it is still dirty. Eww

Like I've just had dinner, washed up and put it all away. It's not that hard to go the extra step and put things away.

I'm not sure, but I don't want to upset anyone. @ENKELI

Re: Not Coping

Take meds and head to bed, I'm thinking @Birdofparadise8. How about you?
