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

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, how are you doing today?

I am feeling better, listening to nature sounds right now but really exhausted. Sorry, I left early yesterday, I was beyond exhausted. Did you have to do consent matters for your uni too? I know I have a valid reason for exemption, but it won't look bad for me to opt out because it would be too distressing? I just can't handle it with MH right now.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah, I had to do that and there are posters all around about reporting SA @creative_writer.

I'm alright just been working on my essay and my friend bailed on me last minute and I have a class soon.

I'm a bit confused as to what your question is here. "I know I have a valid reason for exemption, but it won't look bad for me to opt out because it would be too distressing?"

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I hope the class goes okay. I'm sorry your friend bailed.

Meaning, it's not going to look like I'm opting out because of my own experiences.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah, I hope so too. Thank you. It sucks a bit. I had a tear in my eye because it brought back memories of high school and how everyone did it to me, but I swallowed it and worked on my essay instead.

Right okay. What are you doing today, @creative_writer?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Why is my life so hard to find a psychiatrist @amber22 @creative_writer?

My GP called and said the community clinic only does once off, and then the uni one she is going back and forth with, which is very annoying for her and myself.

Have either of you heard that the GP could have a free consultation with a psychiatrist and then get advice? I think my GP will look into that and hopefully get some support. So we can work out a plan for the next few months till I can get into the psych.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Does anyone here think I am passive-aggressive?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I don't find that you are a passive-aggressive person. The GP would be able to advise you more on the pdoc thing. I only know how it works when you see one privately.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I think a lot of us can be irritable when we are struggling with a lot, it's human. My meltdowns can be pretty embarrassing and I lose it.
