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

@Birdofparadise8, nothing much yet. I feel so mentally and physically exhausted. Want to wake up feeling physically okay at least.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I feel like my migraine came back. I thought it was getting better. It just feeds depression and rumination cycle though. I’ve reached out twice today. Don’t know why I can’t get the negative thoughts out of my brain.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh migraine I’ve never had one but I know a few people in my family that had and they said they are awful I do hope it gets better soon @creative_writer.

Do you mean you have reached out for support?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, yes, reached out to a helpline twice, still overwhelmed. But don’t know what else to do. I’ve already tried some self care too.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I’m sorry maybe a movie or reading might help you like journaling don’t you @creative_writer? I’m currently waiting in the queue for KHL.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I write poetry. Distraction can help in the moment, but it won’t erase the pain. Nothing I can do to change what has happened. I hope you get through soon.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hi @tyme. I feel like depression often gets worse with migraines. It happens at the same time, weird. How are you?
