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

Ive been doing an abysmal mix of sitting in front of t.v. like a stunned mullet and surfing the Web on my phone, trying to grab hold of anything. 🤦‍

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Jynx, counselling appointment would be a good starting point. I wish the flashbacks left 😢. I had worse one today. I can think about whether I want to reach out to uni for more support around content.

@Birdofparadise8, hope uni and dinner went well.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, what did you have for dinner?

Not sure if I’ll say I’m okay, but my body feels more normal at least.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I had sweet and sour chicken, which was yummy @creative_writer.

It's okay if you're not okay.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, that sounds delicious ♥️.

I guess I’ll have to sit with not being okay.

Re: Tw Not Coping

It was good, @creative_writer.

I'm sorry you're not okay. Did you have some flashbacks today?

I'm here for a chat if you like.

I'm sending you some big hugs 🤗

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah, flashbacks won’t leave @Birdofparadise8, 😢. I also just want to wake up feeling okay not remembering it all.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@creative_writer Can be tough to do, but I believe in you. Sitting with it, letting the not-okayness be there without trying to understand it or change it... can be hard. But can also help the emotion release on its own 💜
