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

Yeah, it felt like a lot. But then again, I was kind of numb to it, too. On the inside I felt sodden. Still do, kind of.

To be honest though, the forum tonight has been helpful.

@creative_writer @Birdofparadise8 @amber22 you guys may be feeling low, but your reaching out and joining in carries uplift to some of us. I hope you realise that... 💛

Re: Tw Not Coping

Aw oh no, is there something else that you could watch instead that might be more lighthearted for you right now? @Birdofparadise8

Distracting is hard, but it also helps me a lot when I'm feeling low. Is there something you enjoy doing that brings you a bit of mindfulness? Maybe reading, watching something, listening to a podcast etc? @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

Nothing helps me anymore other than talking @amber22.

Did you see what I said about going to a psych or ED?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, whether you go to ED is up to you. Do you think it’ll help you?

@Kyle1, it’s lovely talking to you too 💕. It does lift the spirit coming on here.

@amber22, maybe I’ll try winding down for bed.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I need my medication reviewed and some sort of help to get me in the right direction with services which I can't seem to do otherwise @creative_writer.

Would they even see me for my medication? What do you think in your experience?

Re: Tw Not Coping

That's a great idea @creative_writer 🙂

That's totally understandable, oh no I didn't see that yet! @Birdofparadise8

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I think they can adjust your meds. They can refer you to community mental health too for a bit too for extra support.

@amber22, I had my pdoc. He didn’t want to touch them to much, but said I could up AD dose. I don’t know what I’m going to do. He wants me to continue with psychological supports too. I think I’m just in a worse mood today because of migraines and the flashbacks I’ve had recently.

Re: Tw Not Coping

The community MH won't help me @creative_writer.

Would they put me on something else do you think if that's needed?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh wow that is a lot for you to take in - how are you feeling about it now? I'm sorry that you're having a challenging time right now, have you been doing your wind down routine? Sending you lots of hugs @creative_writer
