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

Had a chat with my counselor at kids helpline, went for a walk, had dinner and just watching some tv.

What are you up to @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, have been doing self-soothing things like grounding, breathing, imagery, and prayer. I had dinner earlier this evening and watched some tv.

Re: Tw Not Coping

That sounds good I am going to do a meditation before I go to bed as well.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I am actually starting to feel nauseous. Going to grab a chewy. How are you feeling now?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh sorry to hear that I hate feeling nauseous. Do you find chewing gum helps the nausea because I’ve been nauseous myself that last few days and haven’t been able to eat much till dinner time maybe I should give that a go tomorrow if I get nauseous again @creative_writer

I’m getting by I suppose. I just hope tomorrow I hear from the psych from the clinic as I contacted them myself as well today and it would just put my mind at ease to know if I can or can’t have a couple sessions with him because since they stoped I’ve definitely gotten worse of the past month.

Im really worried though for myself as I am not work after tomorrow till Wednesday next week and if anything was to happen like yesterday I was really struggling and could barely do anything. I just hope I don’t spiral on Thursday and the other days.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 it can help a bit. It is hard to eat much when you don't feel well. I do hope nausea settles down for you too. I hope you do hear back from the clinic, it is really hard without support when you are struggling. I am always here if you feel like you need to talk ❤️

I think I'm going to have a quick snack and eat my meds. I now realise I never had my acid meds today, maybe that's why I feel so sick today.

Hey there @Birdofparadise8 @creative_writer @Captain24 @Eve7 @Paperdaisy

How are you all going today? It is very hot where I am today! Keeping cool in the office with aircon which I am grateful for because I do not have aircon at home!

Hoping you all have a lovely day today ❤️

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hi @amber22

Hope all is well…

I don’t really have much planned. Im just cleaning the last cupboard in my house. I’ve done all my notes for the work psychiatrist. So then I guess I better find something!

It’s suppose to be hot here today too, but I love the heat and will have the aircon on for Pixie. She doesn’t cope.

What did you get up to in the last couple of days?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hey @Captain24 ! That sounds like a very productive day, good to hear that you're on the last cupboard to clean! Did you have a big declutter of everything, or just a clean through? I always find it so therapeutic to declutter and get rid of things that don't serve me anymore.

Aw poor Pix must get very hot in her fur coat, but that sounds great to have the aircon on. Sometimes it is even too hot to go outside, so staying in under the aircon and watching something might be a good idea!

I haven't been up to much the last few days, just working and trying to relax a bit. I have started going to pilates the last few weeks so I am still settling into that. I feel very uncoordinated doing it but it is something new to try!

Have a good day ❤️
