Not Coping

Hi there @Birdofparadise8

I'm good, thank you! How is your accommodation? Hope you're settling in well to your new surrounds

❤️

That’s good to hear @hanami

The room is good but very hot no air conditioning. Wouldn’t say I’ve been feeling the best pretty lonely and sad.

I did met a lady though yesterday so that was nice.

Naw, I hear you @Birdofparadise8 . My eldest daughter moved down to Melbourne some years ago now and had similar feelings. She had her boyfriend with her but he had a job and she didn't to start with. So she had many moments where she struggled and would call us all the time. When does uni start?

My youngest daughter went back to uni today. She changed unis after her first year not being too enjoyable. So now she's doing design. She has to travel a couple of hours on the train so I'm keen to see her today when she comes back home this afternoon.

Keep reaching out and I would like to send you a big virtual hug.

Sorry to read that you are feeling pretty sad and lonely @Birdofparadise8. I really hope you start feeling a bit better soon - I hope you find some comfort on the Forums. It's nice that you met a nice lady yesterday. Do you think that may be something you could build on in terms of a friendship?

Hope you are okay and you can stay cool - this heat has been around for a while now. Hopefully things will begin to cool down soon.

Warm wishes,

Yes it’s a big adjustment for me but hopefully something will come out of it.

it starts next week @hanami

That sucks she has to travel so much for uni.

Thank you @FloatingFeather I do hope we can I am meeting her again today for the student orientation we have on res and we are having dinner together that’s free for res students.

That sounds pretty encouraging @Birdofparadise8. I really hope it goes well for you both. We could all do with a nice friend or two I think 🙂.

Yeah, I hope so I also have a job interview at 2:30 so that will be interesting. Though still worried about how I will cope after dinner and coming back to my room alone I was so close to SH yesterday but did go through with it because I was just so tired in the end. I just feel my depression, SH and SI getting worse at night and just don't know what to do about it @FloatingFeather.

All the best for your job interview @Birdofparadise8 - I really hope it goes well.

I have had serious depression and anxiety too and I also found it tended to get worse at night. In my case I found a bath or hot shower and to watch a comedy or something easy going helped a little. It wasn't a cure but it did help relax and distract me somewhat.

Is there something you like to do that you have found helps reduce those feeling for you a bit?

I'm going to send you an email just to check in with you privately - I hope that's okay. Please respond when you can.

Warm wishes,

FloatingFeather

I wouldn't say a lot has been helping I kind of just let myself spiral and things get out of control. Though if I am not in the worst headspace I will watch tv, read or meditate @FloatingFeather.

Oh okay is something wrong I am sorry.
