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

Yes, I read about your friend bailing.... to be honest, most people out their have their own issues. We don't know the inside story. Like you, I also give people the benefit of the doubt. @Birdofparadise8 .

I wouldn't moreso be inclined to message them and ask if they are okay and if there's anything they want to talk about. Life's just so tough nowadays.

Also, in terms of being a people pleaser... I don't think I care about pleasing people. I've grown to be quite assertive in things.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I feel like I'm approaching middle age, even though I'm still in my 20s, but now I'm closer to 30 than 20. I know biologically middle age doesn't start until you're 40.

@tyme, I have a 3-month placement for social work this year, and the final 3-month next year. I haven't been allocated yet but hoping to at least get one of my top preferences.

Some would argue sleeping is productive because it allows your brain to work more efficiently.

I think I've just been a bit under the weather, I guess I'll study for the test tom. My class is in the evening so have the whole day, and at least it's only 10%.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Also, your placement sounds exciting. Are you looking forward to it, @creative_writer?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I'll be 29. So that means I have 11 years and a couple of months till I'm middle-aged. Funnily, we were learning about how your age can influence what you see as middle-aged. People in their 20s and 30s often feel 30s is when you become middle-aged, while older people believe middle-aged starts later.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I know that, but still, she could give me some respect and not make me wait all day as she did.

I asked her if something was wrong she said she was alright.

I think I will need to work on being assertive @tyme.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, yes, I am excited about the placement, but nervous too.

Re: Tw Not Coping

You'll need to keep us updated on how it goes @creative_writer. When do you start, and do you know what area or something you'll be in?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 will keep you updated. I may not be on as much during the placement period, it's quite intensive, it's a full-time 9-5 job, but sadly, most placements are unpaid. I start at the end of May, not sure what I will get, will have to wait and see. I put my preferences in today.
