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

@Birdofparadise8 emotional and physical pain pick up later in the day. I literally can’t function in the evening. I can’t study. I struggle to even do self care because my mind is too scattered

Re: Not Coping

Is it the migraines that make you unable to function? @creative_writer

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 it’s a combination of pain plus not being able to concentrate on things. I literally can’t function without caffeine , it allows me to get stuff done, but I can’t drink caffeine at night or I won’t sleep

@Birdofparadise8 hi princess, how was your psych session?

I had a good day, got home just after 5 so I have time this evening to chat 🤗

I hope you've managed to work out your assignment formatting issue, it's frustrating when you can't get it to work the way you want.

How are you feeling tonight?

Re: Not Coping

Right okay, that would make things tricky then @creative_writer

What have your Pdoc and psych said about it?

Hi @ENKELI,

I'm happy to see you online.

It was good. We talked a lot about attachment styles, and we also talked about how I dismiss my own feelings and things that happen to me.

That's good you got home on time today.

I wouldn't say I'm feeling the best, but I've been doing some study, and I'm watching an episode of Alex Rider, which is good.

Do you have anything to watch?

How are you?

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I'm doing really well. I feel like I've known my workmates for ever instead of just v a couple of weeks. I'm absolutely loving my job and it is so different from the toxic environments I'd been in the past few years.

I still have moments where I am thinking about my God children but it's getting easier. I just wish I could talk to them. I'm worried their mother has bad mouthed me and that's why I never heard back when I did try to contact my God daughter. She may not have even got the card I sent.

I'm glad you have something to watch to help distract you. I need to find something to watch too.

I need to see what to have for dinner too!

Re: Not Coping

That is really good to hear @ENKELI

Yeah I know it's hard. I do hope it will get easier over time.

Yeah it's alright, I guess. It doesn't stop everything, but at least it's something.

What have you got?

I had beef ragu again from dinner last night.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I’ll wait and see what my pdoc says. My psych says potentially ADHD. Caffeine helps the migraines too in moderation

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

Okay, well, I hope they help you figure things out @creative_writer.

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 no, no matter what you have to distract you, it doesn't stop wandering thoughts. I've found the only thing that works is reading a good book but then I have to be in the mood to read. My eyes are usually sore after looking at 2 screens all day I don't feel like reading anyway!

Dinner will be leftovers, a pasta bake, chicken and veg or tuna mornay. Mal my cat is lying beside me and keeps looking up at me, meaning I must pat him. Never mind that I'm busy trying to type on my tablet!
