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

@Birdofparadise8 thank goodness the music stopped!
Do the room mates ever invite you to join them, or have you ever invited them to do something with you?

So do you taking a sleeping pill now or anti-psychotic? If I don't take it I don't sleep. And some medications interact with it so if I have to take strong pain meds I won't be able to sleep. It's a fine line sometimes, deciding whether to take the pain pills and perhaps not sleep as well or cope with the pain and at least sleep a solid 8 hours.

How's the assignment going?

You know you can look at how many minutes in private stats.

Though I don't know what they count as online, like, is it how long we are posting for? Beciase I could just be on here for hours or coming and going to see if anyone has replied.

Thank you @ArraDreaming

No, they don't @ENKELI

Remember the stuff from RO after I finished with KHL? I heard a noise out there and saw they went and got dessert with me.

I think they left after I was on the phone. But either way, they could ask.

They do a few things together while playing.

I asked to go for a swim one day, but that was a no, and then they both went yesterday; however, I wasn't here. I still felt bad when they told me.

I take the anti-psychotic and hope it kicks in from anywhere between 30min and 3 hours. If It hasn't by 11 I'll take the other as well.

Gosh that would be hard.

I have my second catch-up with the older person I'm visiting for an hour a week on a Tuesday through the VIC government and a nursing home. I saw it advertised on Seek volunteer. It's for older people at risk of isolation and loneliness. I saw him Tuesday, just gone, and when I got there, he was asleep, hahaha. He woke up a bit later. I just waited outside. We had a good chat. I think he really enjoyed it. @ArraDreaming

Re: Not Coping

Yes. @ArraDreaming

Have you done much volunteering?

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

It will help get your foot in the door for potential jobs but then also volunteering doesn’t have to just be about looking for work from it either @Birdofparadise8


a little bit mainly Christmas Day when I was alone… volunteered to serve people lunch, i didn’t have anyone either so it helped me too, this was years ago though

Re: Not Coping

Yes true @ArraDreaming

I'm sorry you were lonely. Look where you've come to now. A whole family of your own.
