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, I’ll have to select the I’m too distressed and it’ll affect my MH option. I’m just afraid by saying that I am admitting what happened. I don’t want other people to know about it because I’m too ashamed. Maybe I’m too socially anxious, but I am afraid of judgement.

Goodnight @Captain24 💖

Re: Tw Not Coping

But will someone find out and talk to you about it, @creative_writer?

I know I have never been through SA, and I can't imagine what it would be like, but one thing is, I don't think you should feel ashamed that it happened. You're an amazing and caring person, and I think you will be able to use your story to help others.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hello @tyme

Where have you been?

OMG, they didn't fly out till last night all together; two flights were cancelled.

Have you just started, or are you about to finish? I haven't seen you all night.

Have you seen my posts about passive-aggressive behaviour?

Also, I hope that didn't come across as passive-aggressive. I'm trying to work this all out ah.

Re: Tw Not Coping

No, @Birdofparadise8. I always felt like I had to keep things to myself, but that ended up being my undoing. I tried so hard to fight it, deny it but can’t do it any longer. I feel so guilty talking about it because I feel like I’m not meant to. Can someone tell me it didn’t happen so life would be easier?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hi @tyme 🙂 🫂 How are you this evening?

I think I need to conversation changer. I can’t talk about my thoughts, feelings and emotions anymore or I will spiral right before bed @tyme and @Birdofparadise8.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I'm sorry, @creative_writer. I'm unsure what to say as I haven't experienced it, but maybe @tyme might know more.

I'm all ears if you want to talk though I won't understand that much, sorry. I hope you understand.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I've been caught up with other admin work 🙂 @Birdofparadise8 .

Passive-aggressive?

Well, isn't everybody passive-agressive at some point or another? I know I am. Do you think this is an issue?

Just like people get angry, sad, bitter, happy, delighted, numb... they get passive-aggressive. I believe it only becomes 'wrong' if it is inappropriate for the situation.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@tyme, I think all of us are passive aggressive at times. I’ve written sarcastic poetry, helped so much with releasing anger.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I don't really want to have to explain it all again, but I talked to @creative_writer about it.

Would you be able to look back and see what I said?

That sounds fun, @tyme.

I was just wondering. I just don't want to come across like I am, and it's made me a bit sad because people think I do.
