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 think what she meant was more MH related, though. I have such high expectations of getting better when I'm not while I'm trying to do so much @Kyle1.

How are you?

@Birdofparadise8

thank you for asking. To be truthful, I feel like an old rusty sheet of iron with new holes eroding me away daily... Denatured. Crumbling. And I still have so much paperwork! It's like staring into a meat grinder and seeing the inevitability of me in the middle of its teeth...

Not a pretty picture, I'm sorry.

But I am keeping one wincing eye open for anything that might signal positivity! I think it's the sunshine helping me with that today.

How are you, Laura?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh, that doesn't sound good I'm sorry @Kyle1.

Positivity is hard to find these days.

I am just doing some biochem study on the nucleic acid.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Why is my life like this? I've been so busy today with uni, and I've made three dishes and got them in the freezer over the next week and a bit, but I have just sat down and can't go five minutes without crying. Like why can't I get a break from these thoughts and relax?

Hey @Birdofparadise8 Big day? How is uni going?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah, I have been busy with uni and cooking today. Now trying not to let myself spiral, which I don't think I will be able to stop somehow.

How are you @Paperdaisy

Re: Tw Not Coping

Sorry to hear you're feeling that way @Birdofparadise8 It can certainly all feel too much at times.

I'm pretty good thanks for asking although a bit tired. I just ate some pasta for dinner. I might need a tea break soon 😊
