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

You may need a therapist to help you at first...

I honestly cringed at this thought. I really HATED doing it..

The ultimate effect is 'defusion'. https://thepsychologygroup.com/defusion/

You can have a read if you are interested.

So my technique is one of the many ways to defuse @Birdofparadise8

I'm actually impressed that you are even wiling to give it a go! If I heard such I thing back then, I'd laugh and brush it off.

Good on you for giving things a go!

Thank you I will try anything as what I’m doing now isn’t working so I’ll have to give it a go. @tyme

Re: Not Coping

Sorry for jumping in @Birdofparadise8.

I did try this when @tyme suggested it to me and I went to bed and thought it through. I did feel pretty odd. The next night it was still there but I felt it was a lighter colour and a smoother shape.

But I have to be honest I did forget about doing it after that.

Not problem at all @Captain24 I will take any advice I can get. I will give it a go tonight and then ask my psychologist about it when I see him Thursday.

How are you @Captain24

Re: Not Coping

I’m not doing overly well @Birdofparadise8. But it doesn’t really matter. I’m starting to get use to it.

Hope you are starting to feel a little

more at ease

Re: Not Coping

Sorry to hear that @Captain24 I definitely know what you mean about getting used to it. It feels like the new normal if you get what I mean.

I’m not either but oh well. We can all support each other to get better.

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

Yep it’s my new normal @Birdofparadise8. Some days I don’t know if I’ll ever get better.
I really hope for you that you will get a much better new normal!
