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

Hi @Bow,

Aww, that's not good you're feeling flat. Hope the shopping went okay though.

The Grand Prix is on so the trams are not working for where I need them to go. That was a bit annoying and made me do so much walking today. Though the croissant from the market was worth it.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hi @Birdofparadise8, I hope you have been well.

@Kyle1 and @Bow, I hope you both feel better soon 💖🫂💖🫂

I’ve been studying grief this morning and it has caused me to think of the part of myself I lost due to trauma 😢. Grief isn’t only about bereavement, but can arise from when we experience any form of loss. At least I’m holding up okay, just sad.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Shops were ok @Birdofparadise8 got my daughters Easter shopping done. Came home and got on the treadmill and now sitting at my desk doing my nails. Looking at my calendar… I’m 40 next Saturday. It’s depressing.

I seen on someone’s Instagram that Grand Prix was on. Do you get to the markets often? Is it the queen vic ones? I always enjoy wandering them when I go to Melbourne. I’m really liking blueberry bagels at the moment. I had one for lunch today with cream cheese. There is one cafe at our local Westfields that sells them.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I've been reading about that, too, today. With a very interesting graphic, which is basically a tangled mess of different thoughts and feelings...

Have you read "the blue guitar"? @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Bow, 40 is hardly old. On the plus, some people find more stability and satisfaction in their life once they reach the middle age years. Easter shopping sounds good and productive, despite not feeling great, you got a lot done.

@Kyle1, I haven’t. I’ve mostly been doing reading and working through course material for my social work degree lately. I really need to give myself some time off to pick up a book and read for fun.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I went the one in Southbank @Bow.

I hope your daughter likes the chocolate hahaha.

I don’t think turning 40 would be depressing. I turn 20 this year though so I can’t say anything.

Are you in Melbourne as well? And what colour did you paint your nails?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I think I need some iron for dinner, it’s that time of month so exhausted. Walking is good.

Does anyone else experience really bad sensory overload? @Birdofparadise8, @Kyle1, @Bow. Just realising how bad it’s for me.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@creative_writer yes. At times...

@Birdofparadise8 feeling on edge. I've accepted a dinner invite, and now wish I didn't. Feel like hiding out in solitude.
