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

Hey @Birdofparadise8 yes I checked and the counsellors are just very busy on the phones. Sorry you haven't been able to get on.

It's not your fault, the service is there to be used. You're not an inconvenience. It's just such a shame that the system is overflowing and there needs to be more support for people. I hope you get some support here with us, even if it's just a little. We care about you 😊

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I'm glad you got onto them ❤️ Just in case this happens again, Headspace has a webchat too and so does beyondblue. Like @Paperdaisy said, the systems are overflowing and it's not your fault. I know that doesn't always help. But nobody deserves to go through this stuff alone ❤️

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah I know @Former-Member had a nice chat not like I feel any better though.

Headspace don’t like me contacting them so I try an avoid them if I can. Kids helpline is the best and SANE, but I can’t keep relying on them all the time.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 glade you got put through. From my experience, SANE does tend to get busy in the evenings. I checked the chat option just now and it wasn't available. Maybe I'll contact them if I need to tom.

Yes it can be hit and miss @creative_writer keep trying you may get through.

I would love to keep you company but I am so exhausted from today am I have taken my meds so it’s making me sleepy so I think I will go to bed now.

I hope you have a good day tomorrow and speak soon.

Re: Tw Not Coping

heya @Birdofparadise8 nice to see you! ❤️

I'm doing well today I think. I've started making a cute crochet shurg/bolero thing. I'm doing it without a pattern so I hope it works out 😬 When I don't use a pattern, it often comes out looking a bit weird

What have you been doing today?

Re: Tw Not Coping

That’s cool you do that @Former-Member

I’m sure it will look good.

I’ve just got home from work such a long boring day.
