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: Tw Not Coping

I have studied a range of health sciences, education, chiropractics, Med/law @Birdofparadise8 - but this was at a range of studies... not just Swinburne.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah nice it’s going to be 31 I think here so that hot enough for me hahaha @tyme

Nice we can have a bit of a chat then too. I hope my mood doesn’t spiral though after getting the good news. Do you know of any way I can prevent it from happening.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I don't think it is about 'preventing' it @Birdofparadise8 - it is about expecting that it will happen and to know it is okay if it will happen.

The hardest part is when things get bad, we think we have done something wrong, but really, it is part of mental health in general.

It's okay not to be okay.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah I get that but I’m never okay. I definitely feel as though I’ve done something wrong when I start to feel sad or flat @tyme

Do you think my mental health could get worse with me moving like having so many changes in such a short period of time. I am worried that it might make things worse.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Moving will probably have its 'honeymoon' phase @Birdofparadise8 . This period will be rosy and all good at first, but then you will settle and this is when the same issues will arise.

I found this happened to me. It was good for the first few months, but reality set in. However, being alone, I DID reach out for support. I didn't have people on my back asking where I was going or what I was doing.

So some how I don't think it is too much for you. You are more resilient that you think.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Okay thank you for that I am trying to set up support for when I go before hand I also have eheadspace that is going to get in contact with which ever uni I end up going to see what support I can get which would be fantastic @tyme the more protective factors I have the better in a period of change.
