Something’s not right

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

Mood shift, you know... @Birdofparadise8

I've had a good day, too. Small. Simple, basic pleasures. Just hope I stay on the crest of it ... 🙂

@Birdofparadise8, I am glade you enjoyed the performance.

@Kyle1, I hope the rest of your day goes okay 💖

I’ve been in a dump, but that’s life. So exhausted and drained. I feel like people only love and care about my shell and not the real me.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I feel that @creative_writer masking can really take it out of you huh? Sorry to hear you're having a rough time, but we care very much about the whole you. All the stuff you present to the world, and all the stuff you have to keep inside. Here for all of it, and happy to listen if you need to have a lil vent 💜

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Jynx, I had a milder body flashback yesterday, I was thinking about another time and place while lying in bed. Then I opened my eyes to orientate myself to the present. I also have to learn about trauma in social work for one of my units next week 😞 , I can't get myself to do module stuff before my Monday tute.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@creative_writer Pretty intense for you hey. Do you think it would help to email your tutor/teacher and let them know it's an intense topic for you, and you may need some extra support to engage with the content?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Jynx, I could, I suppose I feel a little embarrassed to let them know. My tutor and lecturer are both really nice and probably have spoken to and supported other students in the past. It is always an option. I also have a counsellor appointment on Monday, might be a good idea to talk about this then too.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I think that's understandable @creative_writer - I reckon they would definitely have had this come up in the past and would want to be supportive. Glad you've got a counselling appt you can use to hash it out further 😊
