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

I'm sorry, @ArraDreaming, that must be difficult for you.

I know this has been an ongoing thing for a while. Have you ever spoken to a psych, GP, etc?

Or have you told your wife how you're worried all the time?

Maybe she will be able to support you and let you know that she and your children are okay.

I do feel for you. I know how bad anxiety can be to the point of vomiting, so I do hope you are trying to look after yourself while you're struggling with this.

Can you put the football on to maybe distract you for a bit?

Re: Not Coping

That must be so hard. I'm sitting with you, alright.

Are you able to take some deep breaths? @ArraDreaming

Re: Not Coping

Can you get up and so some star jumps or run on the spot for a couple of minutes so you can try and regulate your nervous system @ArraDreaming
