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

Do you know how to lower expectations when it comes to MH?

My regular at KHL yesterday asked if I could try that, but I have no clue how to @Paperdaisy.

@Birdofparadise8, starting up soon now. I made sure I ate dinner. I hope you can do something nice for yourself, even if it's having a delicious meal.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hmm it could mean different things to different people @Birdofparadise8 but I guess I would interpret that as meaning things don't need to be perfect all the time. We have to take the bad with the good and sometimes sitting in the yuck moments is OK as well. Maybe try and take some of the pressure off yourself? Mark Manson is an Author I'm really liking at the moment. I don't have much time to read the books but the insta posts can be right on the money for me at times!

Could you try writing down all the things you have and are good at? Sometimes when I'm feeling negative and overwhelmed I have to remind myself of all the good in my life.

Re: Tw Not Coping

okay thank you for that @Paperdaisy

I feel like I’m my own worst enemy but I might try and write some things down.
