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

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 lol.yep, Eras.

No it's a dumb TV!! I have an IQ Foxtel box that lets me access Netflix and Disney+ but it needs a stable internet connection. With the cloudy weather and several other devices accessing internet the Foxtel connection is not strong enough to stream.

Funny enough, mum just rang to ask me to come down this afternoon because my cousin's daughter is visiting. I'm not close to cousin's daughter so I said no. I'm staying home for the day.

It's also getting colder, temp feels like it's only 15 🥶

Re: Not Coping

@ArraDreaming oh wow, I think I'd do the same as you and child proof them. Definitely not suitable for kid rooms. I often wonder what people think when they attach things like that to walls of rental homes.

I would prefer an electric blanket or heated throw over a heater in my bedroom.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 if I can get it to stream!!

I can watch on my laptop but it's better on a bug screen and then I can watch from the kitchen too.

I'll keep trying to stream

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 17 where I am, feels like 14 according to BOM. Not as cold as Vic but still chilly. I've been dicing and cooking chicken so I'm warm enough. Had a cardigan on earlier.

Finally got Eras going, so I'm a bit behind you princess. Just started after the clock
