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

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 probably unhealed trauma. It’s not only significant traumas but also childhood bullying and not having my emotional needs met (I don’t blame my parents though, they did what they could). But I do feel without the strategies and hard work from therapy in the past, I would be in a worse state.

Hey @tyme

I’m definitely not okay, I went for a walk tonight and I got back into my car and just couldn’t stop crying and I still am now. I knew I was going to get worse I just had a feeling but there is nothing I can do to stop it. I’m am so over this it’s awful and the thoughts are just so endless and my self harm and suicidal thoughts are very intense tonight.

Thank you @tyme

I’ll have a think I don’t want to worry anyone though. I might contact the lady I talk to at kids helpline. My thoughts are just so consuming right now I’m just over all of it.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah we had a bit of a chat just as we started talking. She has actually contacted my GP so that is really good to let her know about my suicidal thoughts and how they are increasing. I find it a bit difficult to talk about it all with her as I’ve only had two appointments with her for like a totally of 30 ish minutes so getting the counselor to tell her what is happening is very helpful because I feel as though I will down play how bad things are.

We talked about how to change negative thoughts which I find very hard when I’m down the path of ruminating.

These are some of the thought I can have on a daily bases. Just why am I sad, I am all alone, that i'm a failure, I've let everyone down being family and myself, that I'm not worth anything, l'm a burden, I just don't want to be here anymore, that I am broken and nothing left to fix,I am a waste of space and everyone is better off with out

I feel like everything is my fault being bullied, left out, alone, the depression and everything else that is endless to say. Maybe if I had of acted differently or something I might not be like who I am now depressed and miserable.

So I just love my brain so much having these thoughts play through my head all the time and I can’t seem to turn them off. The only think I could come up with though to turn my thoughts around a bit is was that “it’s okay to not be okay” because I definitely feel like I need to be okay around people and not show how I am feeling.


Sorry that was a long one @tyme
