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 need to call them first which is hard to do when you don’t know them @creative_writer and especially when it’s a very sensitive topic.

Also forgot to ask you doing okay?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, maybe you could call with your KHL counsellor. I am emotionally better than yesterday, but still depressed.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Actually that is a good idea I totally forgot I did that with ACT here in Tas silly me. Thank you for reminding me. I’ll ask her tonight when I talk to her.

Yeah I feel you there it is an up and down hill battle we can fight together @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, yes, give it a go.

You’re also studying nutrition. How do I make my hair grow faster? I was shedding because of stress and illness on and off. My MH went downhill last year. I think it’s okay now but I need it to grow. But I hate my hair so much, it’s a mess. Sorry, it’s been bothering me today.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I totally get that, I also get a bit iffy when people are worried about me or tell me that they are worried for me because it makes me feel bad almost that they care so much (??) @Birdofparadise8

Never apologise for venting about how you feel! That would be really frustrating and I can see why you would be upset at it, and wanting to know more about what is going on in other places that might be able to listen to you more. I'm sorry that that was your experience!

Re: Tw Not Coping

That sounds so nice, what self care are you doing tonight? I have had dinner, I had it a bit earlier. I had stir fry tonight it was delicious, what did you have? @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

@amber22, your dinner sounds nice. I had lamb, sweet potato and salad for dinner. I’ve done some regular self soothing stuff like grounding, imagery, prayer and also had a pamper session earlier today which was fun. I do feel a bit guilty since I haven’t done any uni stuff, but my sleep was disturbed, don’t know how productive I would’ve been. Have you been up to much today?
