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 it’s probably different for both of us. I’m afraid of having my trauma minimised and people not believing it. Im afraid if I tell them what happened they will be like “that’s not a big deal” and/or “that was in your head”

Re: Not Coping

I get the no big deal. I have worried about that in the past with the bullying.

@creative_writer

Has something come up for you to mention it?

Re: Not Coping

Sounds really challenging to manage there at the moment @creative_writer 💜

I hope you get to wind down a bit, and things can reset with some rest💜🌺

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 just been thinking. I sense an inner conflict within me, there is a part of me that invalidates my experiences. That tells me it could've been worse and that I should be over it by now. Sometimes I wonder if I picture it worse than it actually was

Re: Not Coping

@Former-Member I think I need a good night sleep, I've taken the PRN, I am hoping that extra med will also help me sleep better. I get more agitated when sleep deprived, it's so weird. You tend to think one gets more tired when they barely sleep, yet i can get nervous energy. I hope you are also able to do kind things for yourself this evening ❤️

Re: Not Coping

Ah okay i get what your feeling.

Have you mentioned this to your psych?

You could do a pro and con list but for the inner conflict to see if it's true or not. @creative_writer

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 it's hard to explain what I mean by the inner conflict. I'm so scared of other people's judgement. Even if I come up with pro and con, I still feel confused whether I am reacting appropriately. How do I know if I am reacting like a normal person? I don't believe I have raised it up in therapy
