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

@Birdofparadise8, you don’t think I’m damaged from SA? I keep getting this sense of damagedness, it makes me want to disappear because it means I’m not worth it anymore. Maybe depression is running high right now. Just can’t shake thoughts off.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah, it is a bit @creative_writer. I just don't know what to do I reached out to KHL, and they suggested I go to ED if things get worse and to see if my aunt will go with me because she said she would. Then I text her to tell her what is happening, and she just tells me to reach out to crisis support, so I have no clue what to do. Luckily I am seeing her tomorrow, so I can clear things up with her.

Would you think KHL is crisis support?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I would say KHL is a crisis service. I hope talking to her tom helps.

Re: Tw Not Coping

You are not damaged @creative_writer.

May I ask how long ago it was. You probably are just working on what happened and trying to get through it all.

Did the SA cause your depression or did you have it before it?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I had depression before. I probably had anxiety since I was a small kid too. SA was a long time ago still, when I was 19-20 years old. So while it’s not ancient, it’s still been years. I hope I do heal.

Yes, talking clears up things. She also sounds like she is really supportive of you.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Ah okay everyone takes there time to heal. I guess like me with my bullying.

It is awful that people do things to someone at such a young age.

She is definitely a great support but sometimes things get lost in communication and I feel things aren’t always clear @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, young kids can be cruel. Childhood interpersonal trauma takes a while to heal from. I was also bullied at school and I believe I grew up with a mum who had undiagnosed mental illness. It is possible to heal from bullying, I’ve partially healed from it.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I am pleased you have started to heal from it @creative_writer.

I hope I can I was bullied for like 10+ years.

On a side note do you like Guzman y Gomez I really shouldn't but its so good.
