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

What is a family passover @Eve7?

Re: Not Coping

It's a Jewish feast to celebrate the Israelites freedom from slavery in Egypt back in the days of Moses. We're not Jewish but I think its a good think for children to do instead of eating hundreds of Easter eggs. My family really enjoy it and we read the Bible story each year so everyone understands the whole cultural significance of Easter for christians. It's a lot of cooking but it's fun. @Birdofparadise8

Re: Not Coping

That sounds nice @Eve7

Do you have a big family?

Re: Not Coping

It would be big if everyone came from interstate @Birdofparadise8 but living close by I have my 2 sons, their wives and 5 grandchildren. Yesterday we were joined by 2 nieces and their families so altogether we had 14 around the table eating and drinking. I am beyond tired.

Re: Not Coping

I totally understand how you feel @Eve7

For Christmas, my parents and I had 15 people around. It was a long day, but we're used to it now. It's been like that for some years.

Re: Not Coping

In wanting to avoid Easter eggs I have created something bigger than Ben Hur @Birdofparadise8 and now, after seeing pictures I have family from further afield saying they'll join us next year! We did St Patrick's Day a couple of weeks ago and the only other big celebrations we do apart from Birthdays are Thanksgiving and Christmas so it's a while before the next big do.

Re: Not Coping

Oh no, it will just keep getting bigger. You should get people to bring a salad or dessert with them.

Re: Not Coping

They all contribute something @Birdofparadise8 I don't do everything. I'm just tired from being on my feet all day.
