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 just being near someone would be nice @creative_writer. Mmm I'm not sure. I guess you would know best if you were safe around someone.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Like, I get from family all the time but feel so touched deprived, it’s so weird. Don’t know what’s up with my oxytocin @Kyle1 and @Birdofparadise8. There is this expectation you’re supposed to feel better with hugs, but it’s just not working adequately for me. It’s painful. It’s just how it is.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Mmm that would be hard @creative_writer. I don't have my parents to hug me anymore I'm all on my own. The only hug I get is from my aunt once a week.

I've been thinking if I want to try relaxation massage, or foot massage at least. But then I'm worried it might dredge up further emotion... have you guys tried something like that before? ...

@Kyle1, the most I’ve ever been is to the physio for migraines, she massaged by neck and upper back, didn’t really have a much of a long term effect for migraines, so pretty much gave up.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Full body massage is even better. You both should try one @creative_writer @Paperdaisy

You might even get some back from private health if you get a remedial one.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I would have to really trust someone to give me a full body massage.
