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

Really bad @Birdofparadise8. I don’t want to be here anymore.

Don’t worry about me though, I’m not worth it and you have enough going on.

Re: Tw Not Coping

heya @Captain24, sounds like a rough day. I'll send you an email, but in the meantime, is there anything you can do today to ease the depression a little? I know we've sometimes talked about reading a journal entry from a time when you were feeling a bit differently. Is that an option?

Re: Tw Not Coping

I’m not sure if you knew or not but I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday so I’m a bit swollen, sore, numb and dopey. The pain meds are good though just hope I don’t take to long to recover.

Mentally I’m safe just struggling myself I’ll be alright though @Former-Member

Do you knit a lot?

Re: Tw Not Coping

sorry you're feeling that way @Birdofparadise8. Not sure if it's the same for you, but after a surgery like that (or anything that's causing me physical pain) I often feel extra crap. Is there anything nice you're doing at home for yourself while you recover?

Yeah I do knit a lot. Almost constantly! It helps with my MH and ADHD hehe. Gives me something to put my nervous energy into!

Re: Tw Not Coping

I’m just resting been watching tv and I might read tomorrow bit hard to concentrate when I’m tired.

I don’t think it’s necessarily to do with the surgery just whenever I’m home alone I start to ruminate and have dark thoughts so I’m just trying my best to not go there but no promises.

That is good you have something to do that helps your nervous energy what are some things you’ve made @Former-Member?
