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

Aw I am sorry to hear you're feeling like that, it must be really tough @Birdofparadise8 , do you think going inside and having a nice warm shower and getting into bed might help? Or maybe popping something on to watch to relax yourself?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@amber22, always good to listen to your body. I hope your back feels better soon, a sore back doesn’t sound so good. I have had moments where I pushed myself too much, didn’t end up good though. I want to get back to my exercise routine too, but I am afraid I’ll lapse into my old obsessive habits. I would guilt trip myself so bad if I didn’t meet my expectations.

@Birdofparadise8, stress is annoying, it really affects your whole body. Stress is so hard to control. Depression just sucks. But at least I have these forums to connect.

Hi @Shaz51. I hope you are doing well. 💖

Re: Tw Not Coping

Thank you! Yes definitely have to take it easy, my back is super sore and I've tried everything. Deep heat cream, a hot water bottle, a hot bath... I think the only thing that might work is rest and time! @creative_writer Take one step at a time, you will be able to get back into physical activity one day but taking it a step at a time to do it healthily will be the best thing for you

Re: Tw Not Coping

Aw @Shaz51 are you able to have an early night tonight as your sleep was a bit disrupted last night?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yes it’s so hard right now I feel if I hope into bed I might spiral or something which would be good. I’ll probably have a hot drink and watch some tv then go to bed.

Yeah it was I nearly started to cry a few times talking to her and we went through what I am going to tell my GP on Friday as things are really getting worse. Also about what I’ll say to my aunt on the weekend.

I just wish I could get a break from feeling like this it seems to be a never ending cycle of being bad then really bad then bad and then really bad again nothing on the middle.

I just can’t cope with feel sad all the time @amber22

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, sounds like it was a good but tough call. I feel like that sometimes after counselling too.

Are there any strategies you can use tonight to help get back into your body/regulate?
