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

Me too - I fell down with my arm trapped in my crutches and tore something.
injections first 🙂

How were the pancakes @Birdofparadise8 ? 😋

That’s a really good idea, making that safety plan with KHL’s help 🌺🙂

How are you doing this afternoon? 🙂

Re: Not Coping

It is hard. I've gone from weekly visits to fortnightly visits with my psych @Birdofparadise8

Hopefully you won't have to worry about it.

Has your psych had leave before? What normally happens during that time?

Re: Not Coping

Oh no I'm sorry @Former-Member

Do you use crutches all the time to walk?

They were gross.

Ehh stressed.

Re: Not Coping

No, I started with him in September last year, and this is his first time taking a week off.

I've got this so far.

I have been informed that I have an exam on the 17th of April, and my unit convenor will not let me sit it at another time. The exam finishes at 13:35, and I was wondering if we could make our appointment a bit later so I come straight after the exam.
I do not want to miss the session as I will not see you next week due to your leave, so if I were to miss the appointment on the 17th, that would be a gap from the 4th to the 24th, which I find would be difficult due to some issues that have come up over the easter break.
Thank you
@Snowie

Re: Not Coping

Yeah he doesn't have clients today so he probably will @Snowie

Hi @Birdofparadise8🙂

I have just been catching up with posts. How're you doing?

I can see that you have had a challenging couple of weeks and are keen to see your psych. I hope everything works out well. Also, all the best for your exam! How're you feeling?

Hi @Snowie! How was the easter weekend for you? 😄

Re: Not Coping

Went away up to the river @lavenderhaze

There were some boat races happening which we helped out at.

Was a nice mini break.

Home now back to the norm.

How was your Easter?

Re: Not Coping

Hi @lavenderhaze

I haven't been the best this past week. It's been really hard.

Yes, I will look forward to that appointment tomorrow.

I have two exams next week and then the one the week after.

I just hope he will be okay if we can make it a bit later because of the exam. I don't think I'll be able to wait 21 days as he is having the week off next week.

Re: Not Coping

I am sorry to hear @Birdofparadise8 😞
I hope they can accommodate you and that seeing your psych brings you some comfort.

Will you have a break after your exams?

That sounds super nice, @Snowie 🙂 I hope you're feeling rested

I had a relaxing weekend; I didn't do much, tbh. I just went to a few dinners and caught up with friends.
