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

Ah yeah fair enough @ArraDreaming

Oh, how would I know if it's an extended-release or not?

Crying if it is. I don't want to feel like this tomorrow it's awful.

Do you know what a half life is @ENKELI

What do you mean

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 it will say so on the box. Or it might be in the drug title, such as "Happy pill"XR. The X R means extended release.

Hopefully you'll get a restful sleep tonight and feel better in the morning.

Did you see the recipe I posted? I might try it on the weekend but use white flour because I don't have wheat flour. Lol I better check I have flour!!

That next part was for @ENKELI @ArraDreaming

Okay I'll have a look. I don't think it is, but I googled, and the half-life is really long. I don't think that med was the issue, I think it just effected the other antipsychotic medication to make me more sleepy.

Yeah I did see it. White flour would be okay.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 don't stress about the half life sweetie, you have to be on it for a while for the half life to affect you.

Thanks for confirming the flour switch. I probably would never use wheat flour for anything else so it's more economical to use what I have.

Oh, okay, that's lucky then @ENKELI

All good. I do have wheat flour, but it's for my sourdough.

What are you going to do tonight once I go?

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

I will probably read my book. I kept trying today but would doze off so I gave up.

I've never made sourdough, my brother is always bringing some home because he gets it free. I should get back into bread baking, it's much nicer than store bought.

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

Nice I hope you enjoy your book.

I have made it a few times @ENKELI

I have also made croissants and plenty of other yummy things.

I want to do both next week.

Yes, it's better than Coles or Woolworths. Do you ever get bread from a bakery?

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

I'll say good night now @ENKELI

Thanks for chatting today. I hope you feel better tomorrow.

In response to: Re: Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I used to get my bread from Bakers Delight but they closed down where I do my shopping.

There's a nice bakery at another shopping centre nearby but it's next to the woollies where ex friend works so I usually avoid it.

I just wish I had more energy these days, I used to cook from scratch every night and bake most weekends.

I thinking I'm waiting to be completely healed from the trauma of last year 🤔
