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

How exciting! @Birdofparadise8 . Watching the Australian Ballet! (oh, and the footy) LOL.

Look, as hard and lonely as it can be sometimes, there ARE things to be grateful for. I'm so pleased you are enjoying your job. Well done on getting a job so soon! I also need to acknowledge the effort you've put in going out and meeting people.

Back then, if I were in your shoes, I'd probably lock myself in the room and that's it.

I'm really happy for you. Are you excited about your parents coming, or do you have some reservations because of the letter your dad found?

Re: Tw Not Coping

I am definitely grateful for everything, but there is just that part in me that doesn't care about anything at all.

I have had a couple of alright days and can feel I am already going into depression again.

No, I think it should be alright @tyme

Re: Tw Not Coping

I don't think I am making any progress @tyme.

I am so suicidal and sad all the time.

All good enjoy your break.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, sometimes healing hurts. You go up and down.

Uni is hectic. I’m literally writing my assignment while listening to music depressing AF.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, it’s an assessment on a family case study. I’m listening to Citizen Soldier, but I warn you, a lot of their music have heavy themes.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Okay, cool are you enjoying the assignment @creative_writer?

Do you have to do many words for it?

I am looking forward to my one on type two diabetes and indigenous Australians. I just need to get my lecture material done then I can start it.

Currently, I am looking at proteins, amino acids, isoelectric points, peptides, protein synthesis, protein structure and function. It's a 90-page PowerPoint and I've only worked through 30 pages.
