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'm basically reviewing other different types of studies to see how valid they are and if they can help mitigate different problems. So, I'm trying to find studies that show how self-compassion can increase emotional intelligence and decrease anxiety.

Then, once I've done my review, I make a secondary research question, which will actually go back to the people who are studying emotional intelligence at my uni and also outside of it. There is this how program for school-aged children.

That's just a basic level. There is a whole heap more of what I've got to do. @ArraDreaming

Yes it is @ArraDreaming

I have to present on Wednesday 3min. I don't know how I'm going to keep it to that limit I have five slides and a lot to say.

I'll just have to see what I've got when I'm done. It's due Monday 9 am.

@Birdofparadise8 it is true staff can break or make a unit.

@Former-Member I’ve just taken some meds to slow down the thoughts and popped on amber glasses to help me sleep well. Mixed states are chaotic, I’ve been finding it hard to concentrate since my brain keeps drifting. I’m not sure if there is anything else anyone can do

@ENKELI, we can continue talking here. I don't want to take over the other thread.

@Birdofparadise8 have you ever experienced the fear of not being believed?

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 good idea.

My friend with the cats just messaged me, we're going away for Easter and my brother's agreed to feed her cats. Now she's stressing out about whether it will be too much for him. I love her dearly but she truly is a nutcase when it comes to her bloody cats! I mean, how hard is it to open a can of food and put it in a bowl? We're going away for 2 nights, it's not like they'll starve if they aren't fed one morning!

8 cats. What normal person has 8 cats?!
