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.
Hmm... yes, there's a lot of people you just can't trust, even if you want to. The bible talks about trusting only in God. Everyone is going to fall short. Yet even that is a challenge in dark times. When we find ourselves lacking faith...
Can I ask; what happened? @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping
@Kyle1, though for healing to happen some form of trust needs to be present. Nobody can ever fulfil all your needs, needs have to be met through different sources, from yourself, to some extent from other people, meaning/purpose and/or spirituality. vicarious trauma from Lifeline sparked my own trauma history with SA, things went downhill from then. I also have very reserved parents, I kept being warned about why I shouldn’t trust even MH professionals and you essentially indirectly told you can only rely on family. I can’t rely on family because they get too emotional and protective, so that sort of leaves me alone but safe.

Hi @creative_writer@Kyle1
Just said goodbye to my parents for three months.
Hope you both are having a good day. We went out for breakfast and a market then went to the DFO which was nice.

Re: Tw Not Coping
@Birdofparadise8, did you get anything nice from the market place or DFO?

Do you know much about buying a home?

Re: Tw Not Coping
@Birdofparadise8, sounds lovely. I don’t, I can’t afford a house right now, I’m living off Centrelink payments because my health won’t allow me to work and study 😢.

Re: Tw Not Coping
Ah, okay all good @creative_writer
I'm just looking into it for next year, but I don't think I will earn enough.

Re: Tw Not Coping
@Birdofparadise8, houses are so expensive, I feel like I might have to wait until I’m partnered to share costs.

Re: Tw Not Coping
It's only because I can't borrow the money as I work part-time @creative_writer.
If I could earn more, I would be able to afford it.

Re: Tw Not Coping
@Birdofparadise8, it’s fair enough. Taking a mortgage requires you to prove that you can pay it back too.
