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

Power team that’s a new one I like that.

Yeah went all okay very weird being put under and then all of a sudden I’m awake again.

Trying to not ruminate @tyme I wouldn’t say it’s going very well but oh well.

Nice what fresh produce did you get?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Lol @Birdofparadise8 - yes, ruminating was NOT on the recovery list.

As for fresh stuff, I bought:

broccoli

zucchini

mangoes

blackberries

bananas

nectarines

watermelon

I think that's it.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yum sounds good @tyme

Yeah sorry about that it’s a bit hard to not do watching so much tv doesn’t help the whole time.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, a safety plan helps. It can remind you of your coping strategies, reasons to live, red flags and who you can contact. Seeing which services you may be eligible may also be useful. Getting extra support during that period was critical. It might also help to contact a helpline once you notice your red flags.

@tyme just had something to eat, a bit less achy, but still feeling low. I guess it’s brain being brain. Migraines are associated with moodiness. It’s a mild migraine, but still exhausted and wiped out from rough days.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@tyme your food shopping looks good 🙂 . Healthy eating makes a difference, I hope you notice the changes soon.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I have a safety plan I made with my aunt at Christmas which was good.

Do you mean when I was in crisis or when you where @creative_writer?

I talk to KHL mostly I had a chat with my regular counsellor a little bit ago.

Maybe you or @tyme might know but why would I feel guilty for reaching out for help and feel that people need more support then I do when I still reach out anyway I’m probably contradicting myself. I hope that makes sense.
