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

@Birdofparadise8 and @Shaz51, I have been reflecting on my attachment style and how it’s affecting my relationships.

@Shaz51 what self care have you been up to? 🥰

Re: Not Coping

@Shaz51 I have a history to keeping people distant, suppressing my need for human relationships (but I can’t seem to do that anymore), and I’ve told myself multiple times
I’m better off alone because that’s where I’ll be safe, nobody can hurt me, there is some fear around engulfment and having my boundaries violated. I’ve never been good at relationships. As much as I hate to admit, even when I feel someone crossing a boundary (without them realising) I withdraw and disappear without telling them what’s happening in my brain.

Those sound like lovely self care strategies 💖

@Birdofparadise8 yes
