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

To help stop the spiral for a bit and have some connection, I guess @Kyle1, so I don't feel so alone for like 45 min. Now, who knows?

Re: Tw Not Coping

oh I see. Talking to support service, KHL, is an intervention called breaking the circuit... ?

Well, yeah: that's great. @Birdofparadise8

I've spoken with those guys before, with my daughter. Quite helpful... for a time.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yes, especially when you can speak to a regular counsellor @Kyle1

Re: Tw Not Coping

How did you speak with them with your daughter? Isn't it a thing for kids to do on there own, @Kyle1?

Re: Tw Not Coping

it can be @Birdofparadise8

But my daughter and I are really close and she wanted me to facilitate her to get started and liaise in the beginning, so...

Re: Tw Not Coping

Good on you for letting your daughter feel comfortable enough to tell you how she feels. You should be very proud of that, @Kyle1.

Re: Tw Not Coping

yeah, well... we always talk. I've always made sure my children know that I am accessible, no matter what. It helps that I home-schooled them, too, I'd suppose. Until now. Now they go to a private school

Re: Tw Not Coping

Thank god I know it's not my school, then @Kyle1.

If I knew someone, I would never let them send their child to the school I went to from kinder to 10, it was awful.

Anyway, back to your parenting. How did you help your children become so comfortable in them talking to you because I defiantly don't like telling my parents how I feel I never have and never will.
