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

Yeah, I get you there, @creative_writer.

Though they will pass these feelings, I've been learning that they come and peak over the past few months and then slowly go away. Nothing is ever permanent.

Re: Tw Not Coping

That’s true @Jynx, usually when I’m heightened it helps to focus on my surroundings are opposed to “why does my body not feel right?” Over focusing just makes it worse.

@Birdofparadise8, it does pass eventually, even if it takes a while. It can take a while to fade, but I guess that’s how it can be at times.

@creative_writer that is awesome that you're able to refocus when you need to. And always with these things they get easier to do the more we do them - like riding a bike, practice is key.

You got this, and here beside you in the meantime 💜

It can take a long time to pass @creative_writer. I know for me this week, sometimes it can last a few hours, or it hangs over till the next day, but it eventually gets a bit better and then comes back.

It sounds like waking up with it all is very trying. I know for me that is the worst thing about trauma: not only does it haunt an entire night of dreaming, but it dumps a garbage truck more on my mind at waking, too! And then comes the crying 😪

I don't know how to make that go away. And I don't know how much longer I can "live with it", either...

What are somethings you've done before, @creative_writer that's helped you on your way in the mornings?

Good morning, Laura 🤍

@Birdofparadise8

It's a warm, bright morning here in the valley.

How is your morning?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Jynx, trying to learn to navigate around these strong emotions. I just hope it becomes easier with time ❤️

Hi @Birdofparadise8, how are you doing this morning? ❤️

@Kyle1, it's hard when emotional pain is the first thing you wake up thinking about. it's exhausting and draining. I am sorry you have to go through with it too, I am here for you. I feel like getting up and having breakfast helps, but it's hard to get up, but once I do, I feel like things improve ❤️

@creative_writer

These days when I think of breakfast I think of Irish coffee... which is scary strange because I don't even like whisky!

.....

Change is becoming me, and I'm not even trying to stop it anymore.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Kyle1, we all change with time, it's part of life. We lose, we gain, though it can often feel like we are losing more than we are gaining. I have become so distrustful of people, particularly since last year.
