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

So do I @amber22

I just wish I could stop feeling like this every night. I'm just so exhausted.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I know it is so hard, but you're doing so well, just one step at a time @Birdofparadise8

Have you tried calling the drop in line?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yes but never got through I get a bit nervous talking over the phone to someone I don't know.

I am just looking at the webchat but it's not working @amber22

Re: Tw Not Coping

I get that, it can be very nerve wracking talking to people on the phone, but we would love to chat to you if you feel comfortable @Birdofparadise8

Hopefully the webchat is up and running soon, but if you feel okay then give us a call and we can chat ❤️

Re: Tw Not Coping

I'll give it a go someday.

I'm a bit tired anyway @amber22

I just want all these bad feelings to go away.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Sounds good, whenever you are comfortable @Birdofparadise8

Would going to bed early tonight be something that might help you to rest your mind?

Re: Tw Not Coping

I have no idea. I haven't been able to sleep lately @amber22

One, with it being hot and second I just haven't been able to sleep.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble sleeping. I'm about to log off soon and get myself to bed, but first I am going to try and read a few pages of my book or watch something to relax me. I've also been using the headspace app recently for some night time meditations. I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep sometimes because my mind is always racing. Is there something you could do to wind yourself down for bed? @Birdofparadise8
