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

Re: Tw Not Coping

@tyme, surely I shouldn’t feel this emotionally charged. Like it shouldn’t get to the point where I thinking about how I could end it all. I have parents around so can’t do anything right now. Though, sometimes I wish I had what it took and access to do it. I’ve had adaptive and maladaptive forms of coping. During the lecture I engaged in low grade self harm and phone distraction. When I went through the content today, I took a few deep breathes and paced things. It’s easier pacing yourself through elearning modules than lectures.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I won't lose sleep over it. I may of lied and said I am okay when I'm not @tyme.

And you don't think parents know? @Birdofparadise8 - of course they do!

And that's your strategy @creative_writer - for now! Good on you for giving it a go. Surely you give yourself credit for that?

Hugs

Re: Tw Not Coping

I feel they believed me I am good at hiding things @tyme. They probably also want to believe I am okay.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hey @creative_writer @Bow @Kyle1 @Captain24

How are you all tonight?

I’ve been feeling really flat all afternoon and feel myself spiraling which isn’t good. My thoughts are getting a bit intense. I’m in the common kitchen and trying to not breakdown. I feel like I will once I get back to my room.
