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

Hi @Shaz51 and @Birdofparadise8, sending you both positive vibes 💖🫂

@Birdofparadise8, somatic therapy is a more body based therapy. The theory behind is that trauma gets stored in the body. I’ve done a bit of EMDR to process trauma.

@Shaz51, I hope things settle down for your husband.

Im lying low right now. I think I got sick again, maybe I should test myself for covid just in case.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Everything @Shaz51 I just don't know how to keep going with all this.

Ah okay @creative_writer I am not sure I would like that.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, there are different types of somatic therapy, I’ve only ever tried EMDR. You can do a quick google search if you want to know more about it. The type of therapy you prefer is very individual, I know I tend to carry a lot of tension in my body so it makes sense for me to do emdr in conjunction with other therapies.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Right, okay, because I had a session on Friday, and she just kept saying mmm the whole time and seemed so patronising, so I don't think I will go back. I also think I prefer a male and keep comparing everyone to the man I saw last year, as he was really good @creative_writer.

I am unsure what type of therapy would be good for me. I do find just talking and having that validation helpful and having my thoughts and feelings understood nice. I don't particularly like DBT with the temperature and stuff like that.
