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 suppose I’m getting by taking things one day at a time. Wouldn’t say I am that great but oh well @hanami.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Sometimes taking things one day at a time is the best thing to do. When you aren't feeling the best, looking too far forward makes things seem all too hard. One day, one hour, one minute at a time, can be a really good strategy for your mental health healing.

Re: Tw Not Coping

It sounds so tough for you @Birdofparadise8 . But taking these small steps by taking each day as it comes is a good way right now. Also making sure you're taking time to be kind to yourself by doing small things you enjoy or find comfort in ❤️

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hi @Birdofparadise8. I didn’t have a good nights sleep and woke up hearing a crash, probably was a dream though.

I hope you start feeling better soon 💖🫂

Re: Tw Not Coping

@hanami, I was thinking about you lol. I’ve been distracted with self care stuff today. I’ve been having a pamper session today. I just hope I don’t spiral later today. I do have my counsellor appointment shortly too.

Do you have much planned for today?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Crossing all my fingers and toes that you don't spiral. Funny how we are all different. When my mental health was bad I would wake up in a spiral and then improve as the day went on. By evening I was a different person to the one that woke up.

Pampering and self-care sound like good things to do to keep yourself in a good place. Plus a counsellor session.

For me, my daughter has spent a couple of nights away from home and is coming home today. So I'm just looking forward to seeing her. She doesn't go out that much (even though she's 19), a bit of a homebody. Which is nice for me because she's great to hang out with. But it's great she went away for a couple of nights with her friends. They went to a concert in Sydney of one of her favourte singers, Phoebe Bridgers.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@hanami. I tend to get worse later in the day. I do feel awful when I wake up, but start feeling better after breakfast and taking my morning meds. Spirals tend to be the worst in the afternoon and evening for me. It is true, everyone is different.

I do hope you get to spend some quality time with your daughter 💖. I am a homebody too, but it does give me an opportunity to annoy family. You probably get quite a bit of that being a mum.
