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

@tyme, I would have to make sure the multivitamins don't interfere with my migraine supplements or my meds, pharmacists usually know. I am chronically stressed for sure. I had to reduce my study load because of my physical and mental health. I sort of feel annoyed at myself for needing to do that. I'm only doing two coursework units, plus a placement unit for the first half of the year. Other people are doing four units, plus placement and are managing other life commitments like work. I feel like I'm not doing much compared to other people.

@creative_writer That's sad to hear...

A shame we should come to feel so. Sorry, friend.

Hear I am with mine, OK?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I don't think I could do it though in practice, so can't do anything. It's hard to convince yourself you matter when you spiral.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Take it easy @creative_writer . There's a fine line between studying to busy yourself and it becoming too much. You'll need to gauge it for yourself.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Kyle1, I guess I've struggled with feeling comfortable with expressing my emotions. I think a lot of us grow up feeling shunned for our emotions, so we withdraw.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@tyme, it's just that I feel like I should be managing more. I'm in my late 20s and have not achieved much in my life.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@creative_writer uh huh.

Yet everyone has them... these days mine overcome me. I can not hold them down any more... I can only wish as I twist that they'll transform. A hug can do that sometimes 🤗

Re: Tw Not Coping

I know once the spiral starts it's hard for it to stop @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

Give yourself a break @creative_writer at least your still committed to your uni work and managing something! You have goals. You still have plenty of time. And you are doing all of that while having a mental illness and physical things too. Be kind to you

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Kyle1 🫂. I think there is a trend towards accepting and expressing uncomfortable emotions now. I’m still learning to be vulnerable with my psych. My immediate reaction is to block tears when they surface and my psych can tell. I think there is power in human connection.
