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

I guess so @Blackbird11

Would you have anything else to add?

That's good. I'm pleased it went well.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I missed out on a lot before I got this one…. Maybe being different industries there is more vacancies in this area of work. It’s still a 35 min drive from me there was nothing going close by

Re: Not Coping

Oh okay, that would be too far for me @ArraDreaming

I have to use PT. I don't own a car.

Re: Not Coping

Thanks @Birdofparadise8

When we're so use to negativity, it can be difficult to let kindness land on us. It feels strange and it's difficult to accept. The most important validation is self validation. Self validation builds self esteem and confidence, it sounds like 'I deserve to be treated with respect', 'I deserve to be treated fairly', and ' I deserve good things'.

Re: Not Coping

Yeah we only have one car @Birdofparadise8 until we can get a new one for me and it’s logistical h nightmare

Re: Not Coping

Mmm, okay. Self-validation is a hard one for me. Let alone validation in general.

Ahh, I wish I could do something right @Blackbird11

By the way, thank you for asking about asking the questions. I really appreciated that.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 all good. The licence wasn't the point I was making.

Yes I have my licence. I got my learner's and P's on the same day. We did it differently back then in WA. I was on my P's for 12 months and was restricted to driving max 90km an hour. There were no green and red P's or extra tests.

This is the mandala, I just finished it

Re: Not Coping

Nice I'll have a look when it comes up @ENKELI

@Blackbird11 @ENKELI I'm going to head to bed now. So if you're around tomorrow to talk I'll be here.
