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

Yeah, I'll try for a movie. I was watching "the father" earlier today but it was too sad 😔. @Birdofparadise8

Re: Tw Not Coping

If you have Netflix watch murder mystery two. If you've seen the first one, I'm watching it. It's funny @Kyle1

Re: Tw Not Coping

I know, right I don't even get one a day, @Kyle1.

Your kids might give you some.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Kyle1, maybe I just avoid people too much even though I sort of want to form relationships, social anxiety at the roof. I hope you can find a light hearted movie to watch.

@Birdofparadise8, we need 8 hugs a day? I’m not sure if anyone is willing to hug me today, I may be covid neg, but still feel buggy.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I feel chronically touched starved. Don’t know why the hugs I get aren’t satisfying. Maybe nobody feels safe?

@Kyle1, aww, that is sweet. Kids’ hugs are so precious.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I may have mentioned it some time ago, but physical touch releases oxytocin which is our body's own feel good anti anxiety chemical...
