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

@Birdofparadise8, sorry to hear you’re feeling low and lonely. Moving into uni accom is a big change, we are here for you 💖

@tyme, I went into a loop and felt overwhelmed by shame, which was triggered by a flashback. I spoke to my cousin for a bit, feel a bit better. How are you?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hearing you @Birdofparadise8 ....

Over the years, I've learnt that loneliness is a state of mind. Whether someone is around others or not, the loneliness does not go. You can be around an entire family, but that feeling does not subside.

Now it's about, "What can you do to help yourself?"

I honesty really care, and that's why I'm being blunt. Please let me know if you want me to step back. I'm led by you.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I really don’t know I’m just sick of feeling like this. I’m worried to be honest my suicidal and self harm thoughts are getting worse.

I always feel so alone even in a group of people, but it’s usually not as worse as when I am in my room alone @tyme

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, thanks. Flashbacks can be awful 😢. I’m glade you get some relief from loneliness when around people. I know people can be a good distraction for me, however, most people don’t really help with my loneliness, I guess I’m an oddball. Has your psych suggested anything you can do when you get SH urges and SI?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Maybe soon, it's about making a trip to ED to get yourself into the Melb 'system'... @Birdofparadise8 . I'm not saying now, but the option is there if you ever feel unsafe.

By the way, I remember for me, I used to feel like it was the end of the world in the evening (and this is usually when I self-harmed), but once I went to sleep and woke up, it was a reset for me (in most cases). Do you feel that?

Re: Tw Not Coping

I feel very scared to go to ED I’m not sure @tyme. I definitely don’t have a reset I wake up depressed and go to bed depressed it’s a never ending cycle.

Yeah that wouldn’t be very fun @creative_writer sorry I’m not much help I’m just not in the right headspace for that.
