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

That's okay @ArraDreaming

No I do like alone time @creative_writer

I have no clue how I define myself.

I'm sorry. Now I feel like I have said the wrong thing.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 sorry I think I misinterpreted. My avoidant tendencies makes my anxiety go up sometimes. If I feel like I’m supposed to be an all for someone, I get edgy. Sorry if that ever comes out, I’m becoming more aware of it now

Re: Not Coping

Okay, you just said you didn't know what to say about that, so I thought you thought it was bad.

I'm so sorry @creative_writer

OMG I don't even know why I'm like this half an hour ago I was happy and now I can't stop crying.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I’m just scared of saying the wrong thing, that’s all it is, not need to apologise. I probably read too much in your previous post, and got a bit triggered. Not your fault though.

Maybe you feel this because PinkFlamingo had to go?

Re: Not Coping

Sadness, loneliness, guilt that I feel this way, upset she left, disappointment, rejection. I feel so stupid right now. I shouldn't feel like this over someone not being around tonight.

I know people are busy and all that and can't be here all the time. But it still doesn't stop it from happening on my end. @creative_writer @Former-Member

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, that might be one of the things that’s been sitting in unconscious your whole life. It’ll take time to work through and it won’t change overnight. I’ve seen you being as anxiously attached for a while now. Might be worth working through attachment stuff in therapy.


I also feel like our dynamic goes strange sometimes (maybe it’s just me, I don’t know if you’ve been able to sense anything) , but I think it’s because we both have different attachment styles
