Something’s not right

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

I was very much the same yesterday @Kyle1.

Though it took me a long time to get to sleep last night and I had to take a PRN as well.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh yeah. I used to take those. But didnt work quite so well. I'd double triple and four times the advised dose- and nothing! ...it was too 'quiet'

Re: Tw Not Coping

Mmm I use mine for sleep @Kyle1 but it’s weird how the new one didn’t help last night.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Everyone is different and reacts differently. I take an anti-psychotic in the morning and the other one at night (I’m on a much higher dose) plus a mood stabiliser. I always take the morning ones in the morning and night at night. Even when I’m on nightshift and have to stay awake all night then sleep all day.

@Birdofparadise8, it’s awesome how it’s raining again, dark weather=more depression.
