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

I am happy to hear you have found something you're passionate about @tyme

Well, to be honest when I first saw what you wrote I thought dying would be meaningful, so that's not good.

Re: Tw Not Coping

True @Birdofparadise8 - in that headspace, death would be meaningful. Yet, is it helpful to you? You do have life ahead of you.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Do you mean would it be helpful to think about it or be dead @tyme?

Re: Tw Not Coping

No no @Birdofparadise8 - I'm relating that to how I used to think. Death was the most meaningful thing. Yet now, this has flipped on its head!

I'm showing you that it's possible. MH is such a strange thing at the best of times.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh, okay thank you for clarifying I was a bit confused @tyme.

It is like how one minute I can be fine and then the next a complete mess.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, my sense of humour is strange. I went into hibernation because I went into migraine season. Feeling better now, still not the best, but more bearable. I hope you feel better soon 💖

@tyme, we need more people like you in disability, you have so much to offer.

Re: Tw Not Coping

This is what drives me and gets me out of bed everyday @creative_writer .

Like if about finding the thing/s that gets you out of bed each day. I've found mine (for now).

These things also change throughout out lives. What's meaningful in our 20s may not be the same when we are in out 30s.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh okay @creative_writer. That's good you're feeling a bit better. What are you up to now?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@tyme, maybe I should try finding reasons to get out of bed. It took me an hour ish to get out of bed today, or maybe even more. The things that keep me going are my spiritual beliefs and dream of helping people through social work.
