Something’s not right

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

Yes it is @creative_writer

I just hope this psychologist I found is better than the one from Friday I really didn't like her.

Just watching some TV so I stay distracted.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8. What are you watching? I just had dinner. Thinking about what to do next, I need to get out of my head before things escalate.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I am watching YOU on Netflix.

Yeah same I don't want that to happen to me tonight as well, @creative_writer.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, navigating around uni triggers is hard. I came across something again. Though I think I managed it better by breathing and regular breaks. I just don’t feel comfortable talking to the unit coordinator. I can talk about it in my psych appointment.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yes that would be hard @creative_writer.

Could you send them an email at all to let them know?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, it’s very personal talking about trauma. I’m sure they’ve spoken to other students who have been triggered. One of the girls was triggered during our tute, so it does happen.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, just hope the rest of semester goes okay. Feeling sort of guilty for being triggered.
