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

@ENKELI my friend have to admit. In person I’m as much fun as a cold atm.

I’m even stirring clear of the Shed.

People perceive me as being capable, then they ask me to do things 🙅🏼‍♀️

I can cope with sauna. That’s all. 😬

Re: Not Coping

I have thought about it but it’s taken me so long to get to know my current one and I don’t really know if I want to go though all that again.
aww your welcome. You mean so much to me and I want you to know that.
I’m at a tafe getting the foils done so I will see how that goes. I’m getting blond ones.

i hope work goes okay.

oh also why is there only two people on and not five.
I thought of something I was going to ask you in the night but I’ve forgotten what it was. I hope I can remember it was something you’ve done or happening. Don’t you hate that when that happens.
anyway have a good day at work.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 yes that makes sense about your psych. It can take time to build up that relationship. You need to let him know how you feel, be clear about it sweetie 😘

One person was let go, 2 people are on holiday so that's why we only have 2 people. Today is supposed to be a quiet day but it's been non stop. Are you able to get a photo of your hair that won't show your face? I'm glad you're doing something to treat yourself princess 👸

I'll check in again a little bit later xo 💙🫂💐👑

Re: Not Coping

Yeah like I do like him and all and he has helped me, but is it justifiable him hurting me so much as well. It hasn’t happened with my other three psychs I’ve had. Yes I am going to be as clear a possible.

I can ask if they can take a photo so I’m not in and post it. It’s alright not quite as blonde as I would like but it’s because of the regrown. They had to put in a couple brown foils and a couple bled I was a bit worried as they are a tafe. It only cost $100. I’ll give them another go in a couple months and see if I can have a different person and the lady I had was probably the least confident in foils. To be honest I could have done a better job not on my own hair, but someone else’s as you pick things up being a client like when the teacher was telling her stuff I new exactly what is was.
oh no that would suck. Well at least a busy day makes it go by fast.
how did your muffins go? @ENKELI
I still can’t remember what I was going to ask. I’m sure if will come back it’s there but not there lol.

Re: Not Coping

Here is a photo @ENKELI

they aren’t the best the lady didn’t do the greatest job with the photo and made my hair frizzy lol. But overall i like it I will wash and style tomorrow to compare.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I like it 🤗

As you say, once it's styled it will look even better.

The muffins went well, everyone enjoyed them.

Re your psych, you definitely need to make it clear how he's been leaving you feeling bad after your recent sessions. I get why you don't want to find a new psych, you have a relationship with this one but he does need to know that he's not helping when he makes you feel bad.

I've still got a toothache, not sure when I'm going to be able to get to the dentist, boo!

Hope the rest of your day is going well my darling princess ❤️🫂👑💐

Re: Not Coping

Thank you @ENKELI

What flavour did you make?

Yes I will be telling him. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it all. So that’s really not a good thing.
oh I’m sorry I hope some pain relief will help.
Thank you just been to coles and going to visit the older man I see and then going home to cook half a butterflied roast chicken and veg I can’t wait. I’m going into his room now so I’ll message you after.
have a good rest of your shift. @ENKELI
Hugs from your princess BoP 🫂 🥰 👑👸🏼🌸

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I hope your visit went well. You're such a sweet girl, visiting an older person. Are they in an aged care facility? I hope the visit goes well.

I made my cinnamon and apple muffins. Basic muffin recipe and add cinnamon sugar as well as tinned apples diced up. I have sachets of cinnamon sugar that ex friend got me. Don't know what I'll do when I run out of it 😳

I'll try and remember to post the muffin recipe when I get home.

Dinner sounds wonderful, I'll be there around 6 okay?! Lol!

I'm not sure what I'll be having for dinner, I bought some pre cooked lamb shanks that I might do with mash and veg.

I have some banoffi ice cream - Murray St that I bought on sale last week for dessert. Yummy!

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

Yeah it is good. I think he likes it. Yes a nursing home.
Yum I would love the recipe.

Okay sounds good.
lamb shanks are so good I hope you enjoy.
That sounds nice. Murray street is so good.
@ENKELI

any other plans tonight?
I don’t have anything on so I’ll be around. I’m not feeling great.
im also nervous about seeing both my pdoc and psych tomorrow.

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I don’t want you take this the wrong way. I think it’s important to acknowledge your psych is not intentionally triggering emotions within in. The therapy process can be hard and a lot can come up, it can even signify recovery. Only you and your psych would know what it means. Sometimes we need to be challenged in order to grow, and we also have to learn to cope with our triggers. It’s not their fault they triggered you, likewise it’s not your fault. But ultimately the responsibility of managing emotions fall on us. I know in this scenario it’s a bit different since you’re psych is there to help you. But in other scenarios in relationships with others, the responsibility does not go to them. If someone forgets to respond to a text message, your trauma brain will tell you they don’t care, but the reality could be that they are overwhelmed and could not think up a response. You need to see beyond your response and look at things critically
