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

That’s an interesting question regarding the song and showing your psych; I guess I’d be thinking about the ‘why’ of telling him, and the specific parts that stand out as important to you, and how they hold meaning for you 🌺🙂

what do you think? Then, it goes him the reason for you to be showing something, and it’s importance to you 🙂

This part of the song @Former-Member

Don't let this darkness fool you
All lights turned off can be turned on
I'll drive, I'll drive all night
I'll call your mom
Oh, dear, don't be discouraged
I've been exactly where you are
I'll drive, I'll drive all night
I'll call your mom
And how I don't think my light will turn on.

Re: Not Coping

I think if that resonates with you, and you’d like to explore it, I can’t see a reason not to @Birdofparadise8 🙂🌺

Okay. He did mention I could. @Former-Member

Like music and photos.

What are you doing tonight?

Re: Not Coping

That sounds good @Birdofparadise8 🙂🌺

Thinking of heading to bed very early…I didn’t sleep much last night (nothing wrong, just one of those nights where sleep was elusive), and I spent 3 hours driving to/from the hospital for the specialist ortho appointment…

and, of course, old lady syndrome - as always 😉💜

Re: Not Coping

Oh, my six hours of driving @Former-Member

Is there no hospital closer?

Re: Not Coping

Sorry @Birdofparadise8 .. to clarify, was 3 hours in total, for the trip there/back 🌺☺️

it’s Sydney traffic that does it… 😮‍💨 ..feels like 6 hours haha 😉

some docs only work at specific hospitals, so I have to travel to the ones where they are.
the orthopaedic fellow was a very nice chap from Israel working today. Very thorough. 🙂

Re: Not Coping

So is he in the Sydney CBD area and you live out of Sydney @Former-Member

Was it a public hospital?

Re: Not Coping

He’s kind of north and I’m way south, so I need to cross the middle… and, I refuse to pay $40+ for the day in tolls, so I go all the surface roads that are slower.. I’m not paying for tolls when I already pay taxes for roads 😉🌺

yes, it’s public system hospital @Birdofparadise8
