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

ED is there for when you need it @Birdofparadise8 . If you feel you need it, and 'it's time' - go for it. But just be prepared that they may just monitor you and send you home OR they may connect you with other services.

You'll never know unless you try. You will know it's time when it's time.

Speak soon, tyme

Goodnight. Stay safe. You are not alone.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yes I had an assessment with the CATT team and they told me I am doing everything I can.

I am on the waitlist for the community team, not through the hospital though @creative_writer

I am seeing a social worker for the time being at the uni.

It's not enough I can't keep having these really intense periods multiple times a week.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 same goes for me.

I don't quite understand, nor find it bearable...

The intensity of anguish and aloneness can be so so overwhelming.

For me it's mornings - I wake under water and in the dark helplessly crying and shaking.

It's awful. Yet 'they' tell me I'm doing everything I can...

There is one thing I haven't yet done.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I know it’s so bad. I feel you there I contemplate it every day with different intensity.

I hate it when they say it like I’m obviously not because I wouldn’t be sitting here with you.

I just get closer and closer every day @Kyle1

The breaking point will eventually come.
