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

Hi @Captain24, @Birdofparadise8 and @Shaz51. I hope you are all doing well 💖🫂💖🫂.

@Birdofparadise8, I hope you are enjoying your new accomodation. Been in a bit of physical pain, and I was spiralling a lot earlier today, doing a bit better.

@Shaz51and @Captain24, nice to see you both.

Re: Tw Not Coping

You will find that others are the same @Birdofparadise8.

If someone is sitting in the corner on their own, know that they are probably feeling like you. Maybe go and join them.

Also before you go anywhere to see people do a superhero pose for 2 minutes. It sounds dumb but it’s worked for me. I just put my fists on my hips, stick my chest out, lift my head and flex all my muscles. It boosted my confidence a little. That’s what I did before my work psychiatrist app and I nailed it!

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, it comes slowly. I feel like everyone is in the same boat in university accomodation. They are away from their families and friends, it gives you some common ground to bond on. Relationships take time and that’s okay. You don’t make best friends overnight.

@Captain24, the superhero pose is powerful for sure.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah okay I just get so anxious meeting new people and worry they will reject me or something @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, the right people won’t reject you. If they do, then they were never the company you needed.
