Not Coping

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

@Birdofparadise8, very agitated and depressed. My emotions make no sense. Hope you are doing okay. I hope you do find a good job.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@creative_writer emotions don't always make sense. Sitting with them, acknowledging them, and not trying to change them can be helpful. So too can focusing on the little things - basic needs, hot shower, cup of tea, etc.

Or if you're feeling agitated, finding a way to let off some steam could help. I always find having a little dance to some very boppy music helps me.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I’m sorry you’re not doing to well @creative_writer have you been able to do some self care, poetry or journaling?

Wouldn’t say my depression is the best either.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Today when I was having a chat with my aunt I was throwing some rocks onto rocks and into the ocean it felt so good so I said to my aunt we should do it when I get to Vic and we are going to go to a smashing room @Jynx @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Jynx, it’s starting to feel like a mixed episode, it’s weird. Feeling two polar opposite emotional states at the same time. I’ve had my meds, so hopefully will doze off in a bit. They haven’t kicked in. Agitation usually gets better if I sleep properly, if that happens today.

@Birdofparadise8 💖🫂 sending you hugs. Been doing self care like grounding, imagery and prayer to ease things.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@creative_writer I'm glad sleep can be helpful. Mixed episodes are rough, but I know you will get through it. Sometimes it does just take time. Hope you catch many snoozles.

@Birdofparadise8 Breakout rooms sound like a LOT of fun, I've wanted to do one for ages! I hope you get to smash some of your feelings out hehe 💜
