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

Though MH here isn’t great to see a psychiatrist or psychologist.

It’s broken everywhere @Kyle1

A few unwanted side effects though with this new medication lol.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Bow, sorry to hear you’re not feeling so good. Morning wasn’t great, starting to feel a bit better, I hope it lasts.

@Kyle1, I second Laura, the MH system is broken.

@Birdofparadise8, hope the new meds help you sleep better.

Re: Tw Not Coping

It’s for sleep and depression @creative_writer so I hope it helps with both.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Weight gain because it can increase your appetite. A few others but it’s a bit personal if you get what I mean @Kyle1

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh I can’t go into details @Birdofparadise8 probably should not of said anything sorry 😩

@Kyle1 I enjoy doing paint by numbers. I’ve always liked to paint. I can and will paint free hand, but I find paint by numbers good at the moment. Get to do something that I enjoy but don’t have to think too much about it. I’ve recently ordered some custom paint by numbers, photos of my daughter and I. They come out really good. I spend hours painting and listening to music. Helps get me through the day.

Re: Tw Not Coping

oh gosh! Music has been huge for me... I'm struggling with mental health. I accept that now. But without music I'd certainly have spun off into lala land by now... @Bow

That you're able to keep active through painting is to be applauded 👏
