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

Hey @Birdofparadise8 !

I'm here 🙂

Just read about your wisdom teeth removal on Monday. Ouch! All four at once?

It also reminds me I have to go to the dentist to have a look at mine.... I believe it is causing me trouble once in a while. I've had 2 removed and have 2 remaining...

I haven't caught up about your gran yet. How are things?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hi @tyme nice to see you again.

I am on my way to see her now so I will update you a bit later.

Yes I get the put on Monday not looking forward to it I have to get all four out at once. I will be going under general anesthetic.

I am a little worried as I have the whole week off for recovery. I feel like my mind my will go to not good places.

Anyway, how are you going today?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hehehe @Shaz51 . You still have 'wisdom' lol.

@Birdofparadise8 - sounds like you are over thinking it? Is it catastrophising already? I guess there's a fine line between being prepared and expecting the worst?

Put it this way, you'll have a whole week to chill out on the forums! When I got mine out, it was on strong painkillers for over a week. As soon as one lot wore off, I had to take the next because it was so painful. As for food, you'll probably be drinking through a straw for a while.

My guess is that you'll be sleeping a lot....

Let's plan this together.

After surgery:

1) sleep

2) chill on the forums

3) ...what else?

Oh, by the way, ruminating and stressing doesn't make the list 🙂

Re: Tw Not Coping

hahahaha very funny @tyme I think ruminating should be on the top of the list for sure.

Yes relaxing and forums sounds like a good plan. I’ll probably watch some tv and read my book as well. I’ll also do some planing for Melbourne.

Also I just know what I am like even when i have one day off at home all day I just spiral and end up in a meltdown. So a week off sounds like torture.
