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

@tyme, I’m trying to fight. I just want to cry under the covers and not come out 😢. I’ve been fighting these tears for so long.

It’s all good I definitely get that as well you don’t want to do it because of your MH and then your MH gets worse because of not doing it @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

That is how it is @Birdofparadise8

I think I just relapsed, but I’m okay.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@creative_writer @Birdofparadise8 ,

In light of a lifespan, these are only short moments. Even as I consider my decade long battle with tears, anguish and pain, I can only say it was worth it because it has made me a better person.

If I told you this would last another 10+ years, you'd probably be horrified. But my life AFTER my battle has been so full that I feel like I'm living more than 24 hours a day.

It may seem long and tedious, but trust me, it will make you a more understanding person.

When I used to look at people in my workplace (previous workplace - not SANE), I would see how intelligent and capable some workers were. Yet one key element missing was experience, life, and compassion which lacked.

What you are going through is painful now, but the fruit of it will be revealed in due time.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@tyme, I know pain can transform someone into a more empathetic person. I know I should try focusing on how I want to transform this pain into the future. I was speaking to my grand uncle the other day, I didn’t exchange many words, I didn’t have to since he is intuitive. I am a really shy person in real life, his advice was to look towards the future instead of focusing on the past. If only it was that easy. I am doing social work with an aim of becoming a mental health social worker. Sometimes I truly doubt myself, can I really make a difference to other people’s lives when I’m stuck in a mess myself. I guess I’m a bit disappointed in myself, I tried so hard but ended up resorting to SH. At least it’s approaching later into the evening now, I don’t have as long to go till bed, I’ll try to resist doing anything worse.

Let’s hope so @tyme I don’t think I could cope another 10 years of this it hasn’t even been 1.
