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

Hey! @creative_writer I haven't gotten up to much - just working this afternoon 🙂

I am so glad that you're starting to feel a bit better, make sure you keep taking time for yourself and resting. Maybe when you start to feel a bit better you can dedicate some time to doing some uni so that you know the time is set aside and it doesn't overwhelm you so much. I hope your psych appointment went well today, they can be really challenging so please relax tonight if you have the space to 💕

It was alright I guess nothing special @creative_writer.

That's good to hear your infection is getting better.

Re: Tw Not Coping

That is totally understandable, I also don't like being alone at night, I used to love it but now I feel so lonely some nights @Birdofparadise8 I've recently gotten a diffuser that lights up different colours, and I put it on at night so that it makes me feel a bit special (I put lavender in it too). I also like to really prolong my night routine. I've been trying to really space out my routine like going for a walk, cooking dinner and really taking my time, and having a hot shower (probably a bit too long). If I don't have work, I try to think of something I can take myself to do - or someone I can meet up with to pass the time. Would any of this help you?

You need to look after yourself first @amber22. You need to prioritise your wellness first!

We are here for a week. Basically we just walk around the water fronts. It’s a really beautiful spot. (Not sure whether guidelines allow mention holiday destinations?)

Pix’s loves getting in. When it gets to hot we may spend a day shopping. With the dogs in their prams. But I plan on going swimming every afternoon if my parents allow it. It just means they have to look after Pix.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Maybe I just don't feel motivated to do anything @amber22. I think I am getting worse and it isn't good. I also start uni next week I don't know how I will be able to cope with all that and then how I am feeling on top of it.

Re: Tw Not Coping

That's okay if you aren't feeling motivated at the moment, I find that motivation comes back when you least expect it, and when you aren't feeling it it's okay to take a step back.

Maybe when uni starts up next week it will give you some structure to your days and might bring that motivation back?

While you're feeling like this it is a good idea to take care of yourself if you can. Maybe watching something tonight to relax your mind? @Birdofparadise8

Re: Tw Not Coping

Thank you, you're definitely right! @Captain24

Oh wow that sounds wonderful. Some well needed relaxation time. The swimming sounds so great right now, I am sooo hot, it is very humid where I am today although the clouds are looking like there might be a bit of rain (I hope so!!)

Aw how cute Pix in her pram!! Do your parents have a dog too for Pix to play with?

Re: Tw Not Coping

I don't think any amount of TV will help I am literally sitting here crying while I am typing. I feel I am getting worse but I don't want to hurt myself @amber22.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Im not sure if you’ve seen a photo of Pix in her pram. I’ll take one in the next few days. @amber22.

My parents do have a dog but they definitely not best friends. They just tolerate each other.

I can’t wait to get into the ocean and have it was away my fears.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear that, I am sitting with you ❤️ @Birdofparadise8

Do you think giving a call to SANE might help if you can chat it out with someone on the phone?
