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: Tw Not Coping

Hi @Birdofparadise8 💖. It’s hard when you feel like you are always struggling. Sitting with you.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I'm sorry to hear that @Birdofparadise8 Sometimes that's something we have to work at all the time. Is there anything that helps you when you're feeling low?

Are you watching any shows or reading any good books lately?

Re: Tw Not Coping

It’s so hard @Paperdaisy @creative_writer

I have a book we were liars but I’m not really up to reading or watching tv tonight. I just want to go into a hole and not be here.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hey @Birdofparadise8 I hear you. Is it worth having an early night and trying again tomorrow? Do you ever reach out to a helpline? Maybe give SANE a try.. 1800 187 263

Please take care 💝

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah thank you. I am trying to get to the online one as my dad is home so I can have a chat with someone @Paperdaisy

I am tired so I probably will go to bed around 9 ish and I have to get up for work tomorrow anyway.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, it’s hard to take phone calls when you have family around. If I shut my door, my mum asks me who I am talking to after I come outside my room. I just use the excuse “I was resting”. But I do try to take more chats than phone calls with helplines.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah the one thing I am looking forward to is when I move out I can call whenever I like and not have to worry about my parents knowing @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

Do you know why the chat for SANE isn’t working @Paperdaisy @creative_writer?

Re: Tw Not Coping

I will check @Birdofparadise8 sometimes it's that all the counsellors are taking calls and no-one is available. I'll have a look now..

Re: Tw Not Coping

Thank you @Paperdaisy

I just got great news from eheadspace one of the clinicians I was going to speak to on Wednesday emailed me and said because I have use the webchat a few times last week could I move the call with my usual clinician on Saturday. I was really looking forward to that chat and now have to wait even longer. I swear they get so annoyed when I contact like I am an inconvenience or something.
