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

@creative_writer oh you poor love big hugs.

Self care, I sauna. I sauna a LOT. I spend about an hour in there.

A neuropsychologist said sweating expels cortisol. So I am very happy about that.

Re: Not Coping

Please look after yourself and don't over do it @ENKELI . Are you still having issues with the people at work? Or has it been too busy for the nastiness to evolve?

@Birdofparadise8 Nice - ice cream scoop 😉

Re: Not Coping

@tyme it doesn't get nasty per se, but there is extreme favouritism that goes on. I was telling my brother that when it's just me and one of the girls everything is fine, but when the 2 of them are together they cherry pick the work, leaving me all the work that no one wants to do. I spent 20 years or so answering phones, if I'd known I was going to have to answer calls in this role I may not have taken it. My neck has disc degeneration as it is and having to hold and handset between your neck and shoulder is the worst thing you can do even with a non injured neck.

I'm going to be asking for a headset otherwise I won't be answering calls and risk it.

The funny thing is that HR and management are so supportive of me and I like the job. I just don't like being treated like a mushroom or being singled out for mistakes done by another team member.

We'll see how it goes, it hasn't been 2 months yet so things may settle.

Re: Not Coping

@Glisten my desire to be independent and feel safe often prevents me from reaching out for support. I try to convince myself I have no emotional needs.

Sauna does sound relaxing, I’ve never tried it myself. I never knew about cortisol and sweating though it makes sense. Exercise also helps with stress. I hope the weekend is kind to you 💖

@creative_writer what you said, that was me.

Did you have family in the Airforce?

If you are a corporeal being, in a human body, then you are ALWAYS in a state of FEELING.

The human body never stops feeling.

Millions of nerves and neurons constantly sending messages, accessing your surroundings and environment. Emotion never stops.

Hungry, tired, thirsty, hot, cold. Need stimulus, lonely, need a hug.
We are human, we constantly feel.
