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

@Jynx, good thing I wore my amber evening glasses too, helped induce sleepiness along with my meds. I think I am slowly dozing off.

@Birdofparadise8, I hope you are able to get your feelings out.

I’ll say goodnight to you both. I hope you both have a restful night 💖🫂

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, you wear them a few hours before sleep. The amber evening ones are designed to blocked blue light to help you sleep. I find they help with manic symptoms too. But everyone is different. My mood and circadian rhythms are linked.
