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

I am on a waitlist for a couple of places in Vic but I just need something now that I just can't seem to get @amber22.

I do use the GS and Kids Helpline though.

Re: Tw Not Coping

That's great that you're on the GS and that you call into kids helpline. Would connecting with someone from kids helpline be something you could do this afternoon to chat? @Birdofparadise8

Re: Tw Not Coping

I already had a chat with the counsellor I normally talk to yesterday so I don't want to bother her again @amber22

Re: Tw Not Coping

That's totally okay if you didn't feel like chatting again to her right now @Birdofparadise8 Although I am sure she wouldn't find it a bother at all, she would be glad that you reached out if anything!

Re: Tw Not Coping

Mmm true I just feel like a burden towards people and don't want anyone to worry about me @amber22.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Reaching out is never a burden, it is a relief! I would always much prefer people to reach out to me, than to sit in silence feeling horrible. And I know that I am not the only one that feels that way. Your counsellor would feel the same @Birdofparadise8

Re: Tw Not Coping

I definitely understand that, but try not to listen to the narrative your brain is trying to tell you. You're not a burden at all @Birdofparadise8

Re: Tw Not Coping

Okay, I will try it is hard to get the brain to change its ways of thinking @amber22 especially when depression is clouding me.

Re: Tw Not Coping

It is tricky, but sometimes trying to constantly remind ourselves can help little bit by little bit. Have you watched anymore young sheldon? @Birdofparadise8
