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

What helplines do you use @creative_writer

Some of them can be very helpful and others not so much.

Is anyone else on tonight @moderator?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 so I spoke to someone on SANE in the morning. And felt a bit overwhelmed about the conversation, like I over-disclosed or something. The counsellor said to contact them back if I need to since we covered heavy things. I got through to another counsellor which said they are used to people disclosing really heavy things but also said they can’t talk to a person multiple times a day, so just advised to do self care. But I only really needed brief support and didn’t calm down in those few mins. So then I spoke to 1800 respect, so I was dealing with the shit that got triggered yesterday, I was feeling scared about how vulnerable I was this morning (it’s not like me to be this vulnerable, I am usually guarded) and feeling rejected.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Ah okay well I think they should have still had a chat with you @creative_writer maybe you didn’t get the right person to talk to.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I was able to get to 1800 respect, which helped. Rejection still hurts though. Like I know services are busy and all, but I would’ve thought I would be able to contact again if I felt unsettled. Even if it’s just me overthinking as usual. I had been so raw.
