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 Yeah. It can be awfully challenging sometimes. Often seems relentless, doesn't it...

Re: Tw Not Coping

I swear since March last year I've just kept getting worse I don't know how it will ever stop @Kyle1 I just feel so alone right now and all I want is someone here with me.

Did you see what I wrote about KHL? I can't believe how much I've relied on her.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yes...

I experience similar connections. I think some people would call it anxious attachment. Or maybe co dependency.

I don't know how I really feel about those labels... Seems completely logical that we, as humans, are wired for connection. And a lack of such would be cause for distress to one degree or another...

Re: Tw Not Coping

BPD @Kyle1

I was told I could have quite BPD but didn't meet the whole criteria.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I use to get referred to them every time I was discharged from hospital for a follow up appointment. I would beg for them to see me on a regular basis but they would always so no. After many one off appointments and a serious attempt at ending my life they decided to take me on. They don’t take just anyone unfortunately.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Bi polar? ...

I don't know much about that. But if you don't have the criteria how could you be bi polar? @Birdofparadise8

Oh, okay @Bow, I'm sorry you've been through that.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Borderline personality disorder BDP and bipolar as well, apparently. Who knows what I really have @Kyle1

Re: Tw Not Coping

They are all just speculation. The only diagnosis I have is depression, but I really don't even know what I have anymore @Kyle1.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Bow, I’m glade you were able to get support through community mental health. Mental health system is hard to navigate in Australia.

@Birdofparadise8, do you feel something triggers your depressive periods? Or do you feel like depression is your baseline, and things trigger it to become worse?
