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.
Monsoons sound pretty bad. Does your little town have enough supplies or do they have to get airlifted in?

Re: Tw Not Coping
How long does it last for @Shaz51. I remember doing some thing about it at school.

Re: Tw Not Coping
it can last for the summer months, usually 6 to 8 weeks of non stop rain @Captain24 , @Birdofparadise8 , @RiverSeal , @creative_writer , @tyme
and then it depends on any lows forming into cyclones , but the water usually disappears very quickly

Re: Tw Not Coping
Wow. That sounds a little scary @Shaz51. Do many cyclones come through?

Re: Tw Not Coping
@Shaz51, okayish right now. Fish sounds good, what kind of fish are you making? I hope you sleep better tonight.
@Birdofparadise8, it has been pretty warm lately, it is at least going to get cooler as we approach autumn.
Hi @RiverSeal, hope you are well💖. That is a good point. It’s just that, I’ve found myself forcing myself to stay for a good amount of time on a call I didn’t find helpful because I was too scared of being rude and still feel unsure how I could end a call. I know logically the other person is trying to help, but if someone jumps into problem solving mode too quickly, it sort of triggers me because I feel like my problems are too hard for other people and I’m left to sit with things by myself. I’ve felt so alone my entire life, like my emotions are too big for other people to sit with. I shut down and end up giving very short answers because I’m too distressed. It’s about balance, you do need a good few mins but you don’t have to stay for 40mins.

Re: Tw Not Coping
@Birdofparadise8, I think the cooler change has come, hopefully your room will cool down soon.
@Shaz51, it’s good you don’t get big cyclones too often. Fish and noodles sounds yum.
