Something’s not right

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

I would say a shit tonne of trauma, shame, didn’t know how or what to say to us, she never really talked to us about things beyond the necessary stuff

Re: Not Coping

That's good. Did stuff happen to cause trauma before you were around? @ArraDreaming

Re: Not Coping

I’m pretty certain with about 99% certainty she was from the stolen gen @Birdofparadise8
