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

Ah okay @Former-Member

I'm heading to the pool in a min to do some laps.

When you did swim did you ever where flippers or fins for lap swimming?

Re: Not Coping

I hope you really enjoy it @Birdofparadise8 🙂🌺🏊‍♀️

I used to wear flippers to build power in my legs, because I used to sprint when I was younger, so it was good to build power 🙂🌺

Aw, I’m sorry @Birdofparadise8 I can’t remember sweetheart 💜🌺

it’s been decades since I’ve been able to swim/run 🙂🌺💜

maybe there’s someone at the pool who might be able to help you, who works there? ☺️🌺

@Former-Member sometimes a slow day is what you need💖. Have you been up to much?

Today has been better, cant say it’s been easy, but an improvement. My thoughts are no longer racing and my migraine pain isn’t up there. Feeling a bit of discomfort, probably low grade body flashback, it was worse yesterday, I hope it doesn’t get there again

Re: Not Coping

That’s true isn’t it @creative_writer 🙂💜🌺

Just cooking and some laundry I didn’t get to yesterday 🙂

Im really glad you’re feeling better today, that’s really nice dearest 🤗🙂💜🌺

take it gently, and steady 🌺💜🙂

@Former-Member what are you cooking?

I’ve been occupied with uni, my brain does feel a bit fried right now. This body flashback feels distracting too, it’s a gross feeling

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

That's okay @Former-Member

I'm done.

Will you be around tonight?

Re: Not Coping

I’m cooking some chicken pieces that I marinated last night in some herbs and tomatoes, and coconut cream. I just finished steaming the chicken, and I’ve just added chopped zucchini, carrots and butternut pumpkin, the rest of the marinade, and some extra water. It’ll simmer slowly till veggies almost done, then I’ll add some rice 🙂

I like to make all-in-one meals as they’re a bit easier with standing/manoeuvring on crutches 🌺🙂

they also save well too, so I can freeze and enjoy later ☺️

Uni stuff certainly does that to a brain, that’s for sure 💜

have a little break if you can 💜🤗

I’m sorry you’re feeling body flashbacks at the moment too ❤️‍🩹🌺

hopefully a bit of rest can help dearest 🙂💜

if I was there I’d make you a nice warm cup of herbal tea and sit and chat 🌺🙂
