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

Aww, I'm here with you @Kyle1.

Did you want to talk about anything I'm all ears. Well, reading I guess hahaha.

Yes, I've taken some, so I hope that helps. It's an e-script, so as soon as it's ready in the morning, I'll go get it.

Have you had a UTI before?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah, I've had one before. That's how I know about cranberry, and nettle. 🙂

though I don't suppose it's for everyone.

Re: Tw Not Coping

The UTI or the juice and tea @Kyle1?

The doctor said not to have juice but to have ural.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I can see why the juice might be advised against. But I've had both cranberry juice and dried supps... @Birdofparadise8

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah not sure I think because it’s acidic but anyway @Kyle1.

What are you doing tomorrow?

Re: Tw Not Coping

tomorrow? Nothing planned but a trip to the pharmacy... I'm still fortunate though. Even feeling morose, my children will likely think of something they'll want to do and I'll have something beyond dwelling on myself and associated crappiness. Then again, if they want to go sloth mode I might be OK with that, too.

Sometimes I'm not. It makes the anguish and anxiety worse. I know you get it, hey?

So tomorrow @Birdofparadise8 ? I dunno...

Re: Tw Not Coping

It might be nice to do something with them, though, as it might keep your mind off things @Kyle1.

Why do you say you're fortunate to go to the pharmacy?

Do you also mean doing things makes the anxiety worse?

Re: Tw Not Coping

no. I'm fortunate to be with my children! @Birdofparadise8

Sometimes my issues blind me to such blessing. Like when they're at school and I just have myself for the day, it can be tough. Or waking up at the wee unmentionable hours hog tied by anxiety...

Re: Tw Not Coping

Ah okay, well that great to hear @Kyle1

Do you not have a job? I can't remember if I've asked you this before.

In response to: Re: Tw Not Coping

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah, I did have but had to quit when the children started school...

I'll pick up another soon @Birdofparadise8

If I can get on top of this anxiety and pts I would like to stay busy with work again
