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, I hope you do find a therapist you gel well with. Once you find a therapist, you can discuss different therapy options. They may even chose to use a combination of therapy approaches like my psych. Validating and feeling heard is really important, but therapy is also about building skills and processing some difficult stuff.

Re: Tw Not Coping

What did you have for dinner @creative_writer?

Oh no, I hope you don't have covid.

I had butter chicken for dinner. I am trying to distract myself so I don't let my thoughts get too much. I really don't want to go to dark places.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I had chicken, salad and some leb bread. Chicken butter sounds good.

Just have a couple of more mins to wait. Woke up with flu like symptoms today. I get sick too easily, immune system needs a boost, at least it’s bearable. I’m trying to distract too.

Yummy @creative_writer

If you have a weak immune system do you take any supplements like a multivitamin to help boost your immunity?

Hi @tyme

I could be better, but oh well.

How are you?

Did I tell you about my terrible therapy session? Can I tell you, if you don't mind?

Re: Tw Not Coping

I'm not very hungry, but my sister has just gone to get KFC @Birdofparadise8 .

Anyone had experience with warts on the hand? I have a wart growing and it's so annoying. I just bought stuff from the chemist today so hopefully it will disappear soon. It said it takes 12 weeks!!!
