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

Hi @amber22 and @Birdofparadise8 ❤️.

@amber22 I hope your migraine is better today. They can be really awful.

@Birdofparadise8, I admire the strength within you that keeps fighting even though you struggle much much

I'm sorry to hear that you aren't feeling great at the moment. One step at a time is all you can do @Birdofparadise8 I'm sitting with you if you wanted to chat about anything, and sending hugs ❤️

Hello ❤️ @creative_writer

Aw thank you, it was horrific! I am glad that the worst of it is over now, I had to lie down in a dark room and try sleep it away which thankfully worked, but I've woken up still feeling a bit off balance and weird.

How are you today?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@amber22 i hope you feel better soon ❤️. Pretty wiped out from yesterdays migraine and therapy session. Is it childish to create an imaginary friend in adulthood? I know it’s just in my mind, and the things this friend says are basically me talking to myself.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Thank you ❤️@creative_writer Oh wow that does sound like a big day, please make sure to take some time for yourself today. No I don't think it is childish at all, it is actually a really great idea to have someone to chat to and share things with like that 🙂

Re: Tw Not Coping

Thank you @amber22

Just struggling a lot and not coping with everything going on. I’m feel so sad and flat all the time I just can’t shake it.

I feel like I am just a burden to everyone and that my family and friends are all better off without me. I just feel I’m a waste of space to everyone and I’m feeling pretty worthless and hopeless at this stage. All these feeling just get so overwhelming and hard to cope with.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Thank you so much for sharing with me how you are feeling, I am here for you and I am so sorry that you are feeling this way ❤️ You are not a burden at all, to anyone in your life. Is there something you can do after work that might make you feel a little bit better tonight? Maybe something nice on TV, or someone you can visit, or even having a nice treat? @Birdofparadise8
