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

Nah I haven't @Birdofparadise8 but I will give it a go after I finish work! Any cool tips or tidbits you've learned from it so far?

Re: Not Coping

It has three episodes @Jynx

Oh, I guess so. It's basically about a study they did at Flinders University, which had 30 participants to help with their sleep issues. Maybe it's something to look into to get help doing those things. I might try too to get off medication for sleep, but you would need professional help from a sleep doctor. I found it quite fascinating how they helped all of them overcome insomnia.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 yeah for sure, sleep is sooooo important, would be well worth chatting to a gp or psych about the things that helped those folks out.

Re: Not Coping

Yes, we mostly talk about how I comply with people and agree with them when I want to say the opposite to please that person. Then we talked about how I could work out what to do with my roommate as she has been leaving the oven on overnight. @Jynx

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 aye I used to do that a lot too - I sometimes didn't even realise till later that I was just people-pleasing. It's tough hey. Glad your KHL support is so insightful.

Oh yikes... are they leaving it on on purpose (like...as a heater lol) or just super forgetful?

Re: Not Coping

Yes she is, but I brought it up as I have noticed I do it a lot.

No, by accident, but she hasn't been accepting she has been doing it. She tried to blame me for it tonight when I mentioned she did it for a second time in a week, so I need to work out the best way to deal with this. @Jynx

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 hmm... perhaps a little post-it note saying 'please remember to turn off!' or something?
