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

@creative_writer - I used to feel guilty for reaching out for help. And I regularly told my treating team. They then said, 'if the door opens for support, just take it because it is for you'. If I don't take it, someone in a similar boat will.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh is that because you started talking about the self love and stuff. All good I’m just not very good with helping with things like that I guess because I don’t know how to love myself either sorry @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

@tyme I think many of us have to learn to be okay with reaching out for support. @Birdofparadise8, I feel kind of stupid at times too.

But you have to do what you have to for your mental well-being. My mum was so opposed the idea of HOPE team last year, but I went ahead with and got a lot out of it. Kind of annoying how my mum anxiety feeds my own. I am already too cynical for my own good. I don’t like it when people tell me to be even more careful around trusting people.

@Shaz51 I blame dad for sensitive skin and blame both my parents for allergies. My skin and hair is so dry too and requires so much moisture. I’ve also had incidences where I overexfoliated, and healing that was not fun.

@Shaz51 @Birdofparadise8 @creative_writer @Captain24 ...

This talk of 'self love' is actually quite common. I've heard it many times on my rounds.

I think that in order for one to love themselves (I mean, 'accept themselves' rather than obsess over self), is that they first have to see and know who they are.

Many times, we perceive ourselves based on things that have happened to us (sickness, bullying, abuse). However, deep down, it is your values that make you who you are. What do you value in life?

Once you 'know' yourself, you can then learn to 'accept yourselves'.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Your not stupid at all @creative_writer.

Well if the HOPE team helped you then that’s great should you worry that your mum didn’t think it was a good idea.
