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

Yes definitely @Birdofparadise8 keep me updated if you do get an interview!

I think it will be a really good discussion. I definitely struggle with navigating sadness and being okay with feeling sad, so this has come at a good time!

Re: Tw Not Coping

Thanks @creative_writer @Birdofparadise8

I haven’t really had any sleep since 7am yesterday so I’m going for a nap.

I’ll be on the chat @amber22. But I’m overcome by grief and sadness right now so if I disappear during it that means it has gotten to hard for me.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Why do I have to be so sad all the time I just can't seem to get out of my head @amber22

I hope you will be okay @Captain24 let me know if I can do anything I am here for a chat.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, my digestion just sucks. I get bloated at the end of the day and experience a lot of acidity.

@amber22, I struggle to be okay with feeling sad too. I guess it’s hard to accept sadness when you grow up being told not to be sad or to cry. I grew up being ashamed of my emotions, being ashamed of needing professional help.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I completely agree with that, I am someone that also struggles to cry and show my sadness that way, so sometimes feeling sad is a very confusing emotion for me @creative_writer I am hoping that this discussion tonight will help a lot with navigating my own sadness!

Re: Tw Not Coping

Completely understand ❤️ Only do what you feel comfortable with and don't push yourself today, take it one step at a time @Captain24
