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

well, I was going to make a delicious homemade pizza and do a cheese platter and do an at home Italian restaurant date night… but that might be too much effort for right now @Birdofparadise8 maybe just the footy

Re: Not Coping

Sorry…food for thought, and discussion from those thoughts .. stuff to discuss with your psych🙂🌺

@Birdofparadise8 … clearly showing my generational language syntax and colloquialisms!

Former OT, worked in MH amongst other areas of therapeutic practice 🙂

Very pleased you can relax about the upcoming appointment - that’s great 🌺

hopefully the psych has some helpful points regarding the dreams, too 🙂

Re: Not Coping

Aww, that sounds so lovely @ArraDreaming

Are you a bit of a romantic?

Hahaha that's okay @Former-Member. You lost me in the next sentence. I don't know what you're saying. Right, okay, how does an OT work in MH?

Yes, I can. I have been a right mess since Wednesday. When we spoke, he was like what do you want to do then, and I'm like well, I wouldn't have emailed you if I didn't want to see you next week. He mentioned that if it's too stressful to know if I can book in to see him, we could have a space of time booked out for the week I don't see him, so I thought that was nice as well. But not yet I just can't.

Re: Not Coping

Hmm, I can be @Birdofparadise8
I like to cook, and we like good food but don’t go out much, we prefer time at home together as opposed to going out for dinner, save our money for occasions so that when we do go out we can go somewhere really nice. We also struggle to get care for our kids without family nearby….
