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

Re: Tw Not Coping

@creative_writer You have some great insight so maybe planting the seed for thought has go you thinking. Like you said the other person is trying to help so taking what help you can get has to be worth something. Great that you can see it from that point of view!

Take care, RiverSeal

Don't leave @Captain24 unless you've been triggered or something. I love having your company.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@creative_writer I get triggered at times too but got that you can recognize that in yourself. They say that it's a recovery journey because we take time to learn and develop as we go. Things don't usually change overnight with MH and we have to work on them all the time. It's great that you are reaching out for support though so keep it up and find what works for you.

Take care

Re: Tw Not Coping

It doesn’t matter. I’m not really worth worrying about.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@RiverSeal, I guess I just find it hard when I try to discuss trauma but it gets shut down. Like when I reached out last night, I just didn’t feel like I could really talk through things. It was only about what I could do to help myself in the moment, like self-care stuff. Self-care stuff is all well and good. I just needed to talk through things, but never got that opportunity. That’s why I was so hurt. I’ve been shut down before, I had to go through it all alone. I felt like nobody could handle this burden, so it felt like a burden I had to carry alone. I had nobody to talk to when it all happened. It was only years later I realised I had to talk about it in therapy. I initially resisted talking about it because I felt I had to protect myself and that I had to keep it to myself.
