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

however we all have unique strengths in application techniques or areas within MH practice 🌺

Re: Not Coping

Same diff indeed; we have study units in gardening at university, and the guy who has been doing my lawn for the last decade had mentioned in the past that part of his essential theoretical reading before becoming a gardener was the foundations of practice in Occupational Therapy, I’m sure 😉🙌🏻 @ArraDreaming 😀
