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 guess so but it's their job. You could always just try your back first and see if you like it @creative_writer. You could give it a go and if you don't like it ask them to stop or don't go back.

No. Haven't. Have been quite shy most of my life. @Birdofparadise8

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I don’t know. Maybe one day I’ll feel comfortable, I generally don’t like unknown people touching me, it’s a personal thing.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I am having a massage and got lots of uni stuff to do.

Maybe I might catch up with my friend who bailed me again, @Kyle1. I'm a bit disappointed she did it to me twice this week. I got up at around 8 and then got read to meet her at 10 and while I was waiting till 12:30, I did some study till she finally told me she just got up. We were supposed to meet at 10 am.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah, that sounds a bit insensitive and careless, doesn't it... is she often like that? @Birdofparadise8
