Not Coping

Hey @Birdofparadise8 🙂🌺

I do understand, dearest 🙂

don’t worry - I wanted to say sorry, so you knew I didn’t intend to hurt you sweetheart ☺️🤗🌺

And please know there’s nothing for you to apologise for in this situation - I totally understand what bullying does and how it causes us to feel responsible ❤️‍🩹🙂

You can feel free to let any guilt go in that regard, when you’re ready, because of that 🙂🌺

Nice sounding salad @Birdofparadise8

I'll be getting salad, fruit, milk and oats.

Getting emotional is ok, it's a way of processing things and shows you care 💞

Okay, I'll do that.

That's a good idea. I like that asking for perspective.

That's how I would feel if others left me out, as you've mentioned.

I wish I didn't feel like this, though.

I don't understand what's wrong with me.

I should have said, "Great, let's talk tomorrow when you're around. Have a good night." But no, I just went straight to disappointment, and it spiralled from there. @Former-Member

I guess so, but I just can't comprehend why.

I shouldn't have gotten upset @Blackbird11

Be gentle with yourself @Birdofparadise8 it's ok that you got upset. Do you think it links to feelings of abandonment?

Sounds good @Birdofparadise8 🙂🌺🙌🏻

Be fearless in your posts with me - always know that you can ask anything and I’ll always to what I can do clarify for you ☺️💜

Knowing what to say and do doesn’t always happen because we are emotional beings and sometimes emotions take over - gently, that doesn’t mean it’s right or wrong; what it means is more clarification and working with those feelings could be really helpful.. having said that, we are all here because feelings can be hard, so talking about those feelings is a really great positive place to start.
what you’ve been mentioning today I see as great and positive, because we get to understand how things are currently feeling, and then keeping an open channel to discuss emotions will help over time with the hows and whys, while you work alongside your psychologist… how does that sit with you?

and I think @Blackbird11 is right: caring is why we get emotional 🙂🤗🌺

Is there a difference between that and rejection @Blackbird11 @Former-Member

Do either of you know?

Sorry, I'm unsure what to say.

I feel a bit lost with what you've said. @Former-Member
