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

@Shaz51, it sounds humid there! Don't know how I would tolerate it. Do you guys live under ACs?

@amber22, it's hard. I sort of grew up keeping emotions to myself. My mum is very emotional so had to protect her. You know it's hard growing up with anxious parent/parents. My dad was on the anxious side too, but not to the same extent. They never wanted me to get professional support due to stigma (so never did in my school years) but I ended up getting professional support once I became an adult. Sometimes we just need to make our own choices and create our own paths.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Thank you for sharing that with me @creative_writer I feel like I have experienced something similar, both of my parents had very anxious attachment styles and were very quick to react to things in a big way, which makes me now repress a lot of my emotions because I find that sharing how I feel can often make me feel a certain type of way!
