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

Yeah but there was the time last year when I was really really angry and typing in caps convinced I was going to die in my sleep, I think it was July…. I went to the doctor some time later and they asked me why on earth I didn’t go in sooner and why I thought going to bed following that was ok
It was the hardest wack of my head I have inflicted on myself ever (never intentionally). That was HARD. I still can’t beleive how hard I hit it @Birdofparadise8

Re: Not Coping

One of the major markers for concussion is the instant rage when I did it i immediately got angry and went into our bedroom away from my family and sat in silence for 45 mins

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 yeah the point was that you don't just get in a car and drive without lessons, just like learning to manage your negative self talk.

I'll leave it at that as I get the feeling you didn't like what I said. It was not a personal attack, it was a generalisation on anyone who has to learn to manage negative thoughts.

And that's all good hon, I am not upset or offended.

I'm off to have dinner, will check in later.

Re: Not Coping

Oh no, I'm sorry.

I know they don't give me much support other than saying we have told you this before, so listen.

Kicked out of school, oh no. Can I ask if you have parents around?

One more question about RO, and I'll leave it. What was it like once you turned 26, or were you already banned that much? You didn't really worry about it.

Oh really, I didn't know that. @ArraDreaming

Re: Not Coping

Both my parents have passed way @Birdofparadise8 my mum in 2022 and my dad in 2014

Just before I turned 26 they asked me if I would consider here instead and I said yes they sent an email to sane about what kind of things went on with them but how I had improved, sad to go but I got busy the year or so before leaving so i was naturally dropping off… we were having a baby around that time so I didn’t really go on either for a bit.

Re: Not Coping

I might remember that. I remember your writing in capitals a lot.

You would also post so fast that I couldn't keep up, haha.

Yeah, it's probably not the best thing to do, going to bed with that.

Re: Not Coping

Ah, okay, that makes sense. I don't know how I could have a kid at 26, haha.

I'll have only been working full-time for maybe a year or two after finishing my master's.

Oh, wait, I thought you were actually asking me how to get the license. Do you have yours @ENKELI

Re: Not Coping

Oh…. We had a 3 year old at that time too 🤣
@Birdofparadise8

Thank you, I definitely miss Mum a lot…. I think about dad a bit, but I don’t feel the same way about him as I do Mum.
