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

Yeah we have spoken for 18 months now I think for nearly every week other than when she has time off or I'm back in hobart or other times.

Mmm, I don't know. She just said them, and I was writing them down.

What about the bit "not to make rejection a big thing"

and so on with a few things she said. @Former-Member

Yes, very much so 😁🌷

I'm feeling alright tonight, so that's a good thing.

This is a side note, just an observation @Birdofparadise8 🌺☺️

The curiosity you have is a great driving force behind finding what makes things the way they are 🙌🏻☺️


with regards to not making rejection a big thing.. I think that’s hard work without all the tools to do so..meaning, if you feel some rejection, having the resources and resilience to manage well is when it wound seem easier to say don’t worry too much about it. However, if it’s a sensitive topic, which feels like it’s unresolved, then maybe taking a bit more time to work through it may be better?
Just guessing here, having not heard the conversation to gather the context, but on the face of it, that’s what comes to mind… what do you think 🙂🌺

Re: Not Coping

Curiosity in general or about the KHL stuff, rejection, abandonment, or social anxiety.

Yeah, maybe I need more time.

I don't have any tools for rejection. I just get upset and it goes from there. I don't know how I could ever see it as something small. I value people a lot.

I'm sorry, but it must be hard when I don't even know all of what she has said, and I'm asking you.

I took my meds not that long ago, so I'm getting quite sleepy, so I will say goodnight.

Thank you for chatting with me. @Former-Member

Curiosity in general @Birdofparadise8 🙌🏻🙂🌺

Even though it’s hard to have curiosity around mental health, having the curiosity underneath can be a strong motivator to build resilience, and your toolkit 🙂💜🌺


I think more time is completely reasonable..after all, Rome wasn’t built in a day ☺️

Yes, I can see how much you value people and relationships, so I would really encourage you to be gently curious about how you can keep yourself nicely protected with some healthy boundaries around rejection and attachment, in positive, value/esteem building ways🙂🙌🏻🌺

It’s ok regarding not knowing the full conversation with KHL - I hope the comments today have been helpful 🙂

Goodnight dearest, I hope you rest well 🌺🙂🦩

I have no clue how to do what you've mentioned below.

Re: Not Coping

Good morning @Birdofparadise8

Hoping you have a good day.

Anything on the agenda today?

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

I am just making cue cards for my presentation tomorrow; I need to get AFL tickets for myself, my uncle, his friend, and his son for the Carlton vs Geelong game that is coming up. They go on sale today.

Then, I'm going to visit the gentleman at the nursing home and have a bit of a chat.

I'm going to the football this week for the good Friday game. @Snowie

What are you doing today?

Are the kids at school?

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

I hope you are able to get all your cue cards done today @Birdofparadise8

Never been to the Good Friday game but it always looks like a good atmosphere. I hope you enjoy it and hopefully Carlton win!

It's so nice that you go see the gentleman. I'm sure he loves when you visit him.

Already done some food shopping, chemist run and some washing. Just having a cuppa and sitting down with the dog.

My son is at school. He finishes Thursday and has 2 weeks off.

My daughter is in her first year at uni, so has that all day today.

Just me and the dog home!

Re: Not Coping

Yeah, I've done them. I just need to print them out and read read read.

Neither have i so it will be fun.

Yeah, he did last week.

That's good. You must have gotten up earlier.

Do you work at all? Or not at the moment with your MH? @Snowie
