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

I just feel like I don’t deserve to get help even though I know I need it @Jynx @Shaz51

Re: Tw Not Coping

I agree with @Shaz51, everyone deserves help.

@Shaz51, I hope you feel better soon too 💗. Feeling sick isn’t an ideal way to start the day. I woke up exhausted and with a sore throat too.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, depression tells you that you are unworthy. It doesn’t mean it’s true, but it can be hard to see your self worth even when you are very valuable.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Aww get well soon @Shaz51. Fingers crossed it's just a cold @creative_writer!

@Birdofparadise8 they're right - you are worthy and deserving of help, care, and support even when your depression tells you you're not.

I used to think I wasn't deserving of help - for nearly 10 years I truly believed I should just be able to handle things on my own. When I finally decided to get help, and attended regular therapy sessions and starting actually talking to my friends about what was going on with me, it was life changing. But it took a lot of courage to admit I needed the support.

I hope you can find a similar path (and that it doesn't take as long as it did for me!) 💜

Re: Tw Not Coping

Thank you @Jynx

It’s just hard to see anything past my depression at this stage. I’m definitely not getting any better and if the last few days are saying anything I’m getting way worse which is a worry.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Jynx, haven’t gotten much planned for today. Will rest. Do you have any plans?

@Birdofparadise8, do you get to Melbourne soon? Once you are here, it’ll be easier to build all your supports. Having the right supports is life changer.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah things will definitely change for you when you move @Birdofparadise8, and you can find your supports and community.

I think sometimes it's easy to look at how you've been doing over a few days or a week and get really bummed out - esp if it feels like things are getting harder for you. It can help to take a lil step back and try to see things over a longer period of time, because healing takes a while for most of us. I wish I could say that things have the potential to turn around over night, but building new skills and new habits - including new habits in thought patterns - takes a while. So we take it day by day, and whilst it might not seem like things are improving in the short term, doing stuff like reaching out, talking about it, and trying to build some coping skills, will help in the long run. We'll be with you for every step of that journey, as long as you need us 🤗💜
