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

The exam and job interview are the least of my worries right now.

I've been feeling like this since Saturday. I don't want to spiral. @Jynx

Re: Not Coping

Sometimes the more we try to resist a spiral, the more it continues to pull us downwards @Birdofparadise8. It's okay to be feeling impacted and to allow space for the emotions arising. Have you been doing stuff for self-care over the last few days?

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 sitting and watching tv counts! Calling yourself lazy... not so much! Besides, imo laziness doesn't even exist. Demotivated is a better term, and gives grace to the other crap we might be dealing with that is making it harder to get stuff done. Besides, if we don't carve out time to rest, our bodies will eventually do it for us, often in far more unpleasant ways (like getting sick).
