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: Not Coping

HAHAHA, okay your 3yo's day sounds awesome @ArraDreaming ! I don't know any kids who aren't scared of clowns, so even I want to play this game! 😛

How you feeling from last week? I know last we spoke @ArraDreaming you were nursing a massive headache and not feeling too fab - did you make it to work the next day? I assume you're feeling well this week 🙂

Re: Not Coping

Don't mind if I do @Birdofparadise8 😛 Love a mixture, haha! Feel like one can act like the sweetener, and the other, the glue (for the muesli :P)

Well, I'm glad you're on here, but correct me if I'm wrong - sounds like you prefer to keep yourself busy so you don't have to feel sad and lonely?

You got the community here in the SANE forums, me, @Blackbird11 and @Former-Member also for support right now 🙂 What does that feel like - to know others have your back and are here to listen and chat?!

Re: Not Coping

I would like to stay busy, I guess. However, I like it when I can just sit and relax watching TV or reading.

It's nice to know I do have people around me. @PizzaMondo

Re: Not Coping

Um like the majority @Former-Member

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?

I don't know why, but I'm feeling a but overwhelmed right now.
