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'm sitting with you while you're feeling like this @Birdofparadise8

Have you been able to have a chat with SANE on the webchat or the drop in to tell them how you've been feeling? Sometimes it is hard to express but makes me feel a lot better once I've let it out to someone else and they're able to give me some advice ❤️

Re: Tw Not Coping

@amber22, I’m scared. I’ve been thinking back to when I was followed near the train station. I believe it happened more than once too. I’ll be going to the train station for uni. Maybe I’m overthinking. I think I have anxiety around leaving the house. My mum also wants to make sure I’m dressed modestly enough since I’ll be travelling alone. Maybe that triggered it?

@Birdofparadise8 💖🫂. Have you gone through a plan with the psych for times when things get too much. Always good to have phone numbers of all the services you can contact.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I had a chat with my counselor through the GS today. I have plenty of numbers to call so all good. It was only our first session so not really but I have a safety plan. @creative_writer @amber22

Re: Tw Not Coping

I definitely think that because you are going to have to go to the train station for uni, that you were possibly triggered into reliving what once happened. I am so sorry that you're feeling scared, but that is totally valid, and having anxiety around leaving the house is so understandable. Have you been able to speak to anyone about how you're feeling recently? Or possible put a plan in place for when/ if you have to go to the train station again and feel scared about it? @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

That is great to hear that you have a safety plan @Birdofparadise8 How was your call with the counselor through GS today? Did that help make you feel a bit better?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh no, I am sorry to hear that @Birdofparadise8 Do you have another one booked in? Maybe as it was your first one it might have felt a bit different, hopefully they help you in the long term!

Re: Tw Not Coping

It's totally okay to be feeling sad @Birdofparadise8 and very valid. Is there anything that you might be able to do to make yourself feel a little bit better? Or do you feel up to a chat with the SANE webchat tonight to get out what you're feeling?
