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

I’m sorry to hear that @creative_writer anything I can do to help.

To be honest I’m not doing very well either tonight I have self harmed and really trying to not do it again no matter how much I want to because I know I really shouldn’t. As I keep saying everyday maybe tomorrow will be better but then it never actually does.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 resisting urges can be hard. I’ve had times where I used multiple coping mechanism but still ended up SH. Things do change sometimes, healing is possible but it’s about finding what works for you. I’ve had a very shitty day, reached out to SANE counselling service this morning and in the afternoon. I was a mess, still am. Depression always makes my PTSD and social anxiety symptoms worse. It’s hard to feel worthy of love, or feeling like life is worth living.

@Shaz51 I have been half asleep today too. But I slept poorly because I spent last night crying.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Group hugs with you all @Birdofparadise8 @creative_writer @Shaz51 - SH is a strange thing. I used to engage in it continuously like my brain thought it was normal... then over time, it sort of reduced... now, I don't have those urges at all... it's like my brain as switched.

I did find SH addictive. The best thing my psychologist said was 'if you are going to do it, do it safely'... other people freaked out when they knew I SH. Yet my psychologist knew it was NOT the root of my issues.

Am i even making any sense?
