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.
I’m sorry to be a downer on the mood tonight. It’s probably the worst night I’ve had all week I want to crawl up in a deep hole and not come out but I can do that can I.

Re: Tw Not Coping
No way! @Birdofparadise8 - you are not a downer 🙂 It takes more than that to pull me down!
It's good to just be able to hang out with each other. Sometimes, it doesn't even need words. Forum friends just know what it is.

Re: Tw Not Coping
@Birdofparadise8, it’s easier with the same person. I grew comfortable with my KHL. But it I had to do phone calls and got a different person each time, it would be hard.
@tyme, I guess we are all different. I know, particularly with trauma stuff, I find it easier over text than phone. It just feels weird speaking about it on the phone with someone I don’t know. Maybe my conservative background doesn’t help. But I have overshared over text, it’s so much easier to get carried away. I was so I guess embarrassed and ashamed of what I had spoken about, though I know counsellors on helplines probably hear a lot of awful stuff.

Re: Tw Not Coping
@Birdofparadise8, hopefully, you’ll have more coping strategies by then.

@Birdofparadise8, you can’t get through this. Many people get through rough patches in their life. 💖
