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

Oh I definitely know about the inner conflict I totally understand my psych and I talk about it a bit.

Well maybe you could make it, but wait until you go to therapy to process your response.

@creative_writer

It's just a thought.

Re: Not Coping

@creative_writer just putting my 10 cents worth in here, I completely understand how you feel.

Its difficult to move on or get over it when your initial experience/s are not properly validated or you can't get closure.

I keep berating myself for not being over what happened to me, especially when people say that they've noticed I tend to go on about what happened and I should be over it, or they just ignore me and change the subject.

I don't believe you picture the experience to be worse than what it actually was. It's subjective. The treatment I received damaged me, but it wouldn't affect say my brother the same way, he'd brush it off.

If it affected you, caused emotional distress then it was bad. Yes it could have been worse, but thank God it wasn't.

It's a cycle. No matter how terrible the experience we are all going to try and claim it could have been worse.

Dont try to invalidate it, what you went through was bad.

Hugs

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 yes I am.

I was just talking to my bro about the whole cat menagerie thing and replying to another post.

Re: Not Coping

That's okay @ENKELI

Sorry, I hope it was okay to tag you I didn't know if you had left or not.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 not a problem. I try and respond as quickly as possible but I'm on my tablet and it's a little slow to upload

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I do have my psych appointment on Tuesday so can discuss with her then.

@ENKELI maybe part of it is the missing facts, I wouldn't say my memory is entirely clear. I found myself doing lots of processing when I had a very rough periods of frequent flashbacks since it brought up what I physically felt during the trauma. I hated the intense processing, I felt so disgusted. I guess I sort of detached myself and got on with my life, it didn't hurt much until years later after it happening

Re: Not Coping

Okay @ENKELI

Please let me know if I become annoying or anything.

That's a good idea @creative_writer

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 it will never happen 😊

Just know that it takes a bit longer to respond when I'm on my tablet. I also need to water my plants but that won't take long

Re: Not Coping

Ah yes it's much easier on a computer @ENKELI

Okay, it would be nice if we can talk talk once your are back.

I'm feeling sad again.
