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

@Birdofparadise8 how am I?

Terrible...

But I'm looking around outside myself. I'm pretty sure somewhere in the jungle of feel better exercises out there for people like us this might be considered 'grounding' or some such...

So I'm looking at mirror art and mixed media on the cold paint walls, and large pendant lights suspended like ufo's.

What do you see?

Hi @Kyle1

Sounds like you are out somewhere nice even though you're feeling terrible. What do you have planned for the rest of the day?

Good morning. I tend to stay out a little after dropping the children at school.

Today I have admin things to finalise, regarding centrelink. And grocery shopping again! Teenagers eat a lot... even the toilet paper, it seems!

Re: Tw Not Coping

Omg @Kyle1 lol. I do know exactly what you mean about food and toilet paper with teenagers! I have two boys and two girls. When the boys were at home I used to wonder where the TP would go. I only have one girls left at home and things aren't so bad. She doesn't eat near as much as the boys did!

Good luck with Centrelink. Dread having to deal with them!

Re: Tw Not Coping

Holy Moly @Kyle1 !!! Last time I called them I couldn't even get through. It's crazy how frustrating it is.

Yes. Dealing with them is its own kind of insanity...

Mind you, I had to try 4 times before finally getting through.

Silver lining: the lady on the other end had a perfectly clear, tranquil voice. Like moon light.

Hi @creative_writer @hanami @Kyle1

I hope you're all okay or at least better than me.

I've been having a rough time these past few days.

How did the test and assignment go, @creative_writer?
