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 cute @ArraDreaming

I wish I could hurry up and find a man so I can have children.

If I don't meet anyone by the time I'm 29, I will look into a donor.

Oh is BOPS what he called himself?

Re: Not Coping

yeah, bops, the little weirdo 😂 and yells at us if we try and help @Birdofparadise8

Still time after that! I wouldn’t be in any hurry don’t get me wrong I love my family but there is nothing stopping you from living a bit first then kids later there is no special order to this… I didn’t think I would have kids or not for a long while and now I’m 29 with 3 but I also know people in their 30s just starting a family now

Re: Not Coping

Yeah, know, I just don't want to have kids after I'm 34 at the late as my mum had me at 35/6, I think, and now she is 56, and I'm 20, while a lot of parents of kids my age, we know in our circle are much younger.

However, I've got 10 years so I'm sure I'll meet the right one.

I have very particular standards.

I'm sure it would be @ArraDreaming

I don't want one kid like I am as it's lonely, at least two, but I'm not sure about three. It would be a lot.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8

you’re such a sweetheart to ask - so kind of you to offer 💜🌺🤗


Im ok thanks - nothing that can be done besides home or hospital for a heart being a pain in the chest/backside 😉

It’s only sadness and disappointment when I can’t spend time doing what I need to do, and being confined to bed. Otherwise mentally I am ready to chew through a bunch of research articles, do a bunch of appraisals, and get back to the research teams with the gaps 🌺🙂

I haven’t worked out the trick to getting papers to levitate above me here so I can read and highlight 😉

the ones I have electronically I’ll read on my phone and annotate for later.

speaking of, I better get to it.

have a good afternoon, and go gently 🌺
