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

@Birdofparadise8, sometimes all we need is someone to listen, I feel like sometimes people struggle to step back. They probably don't want to see us in distress. Sometimes you just need someone to sit with you while you experience uncomfortable emotions, and that can be hard.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yes very true, but these people are trained professionals that are supposed to listen @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

Good morning @Birdofparadise8

Hope all is well

I was thinking about the playground thing and I like it! Remember when you were little, how free did you feel on a swing.

Maybe swinging is just a little bit of fun to distract you for a bit. I know it sounds weird but isn’t anything worth a try a the moment.

Im going to have a go later. There is a playground 5 houses down from me.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hey everyone, sorry I didn't reply earlier. I had a bad night's sleep and worked early this morning. I have had a crap day. I've been so anxious and sad all day.

Yeah, I guess so @Captain24 I'm not sure I am into going to a playground.

I did have my GP appointment today, so that was good she did my letter for Swinburne for the learning access plan, increased my medication and talked about my safety and stuff like that hopefully, she is going to get in touch with the provisional psych I was seeing at the clinic last year to just have a couple of sessions till I go.

Anyway hope everyone is doing well @Captain24 @Eve7 @creative_writer @Paperdaisy @Jynx

Re: Tw Not Coping

Evening @Birdofparadise8, @Eve7, @Captain24 and anyone else on. Hope you are all having a kind evening 💖

@Birdofparadise8 glade the GP appointment went well, and hope you do get those psych appointments. I hope you sleep better tonight. Sleep makes a huge difference. I hope you feel better hon 💗

Not doing so well, it’s just the same old. It’s okay though.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Well, we can be in the same boat together, then. I am feeling quite awful, so maybe we can keep each other company @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I even tried going out but still feel awful. You can try different things, but it feels disappointing at the end of the day. Maybe the hot weather doesn’t help either. We are having a heatwave in Melbourne. It only cools down tom.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah it has been hot here as well @creative_writer
