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

Oh I’m sorry @Captain24 I hope work picks up and makes you feel a bit better as you’ll have a distraction.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hey @Captain24 , sorry to miss you. Hope work goes okay for you. I'll be waiting for the goat photos!

@Birdofparadise8 , sorry to hear you have a bit of brain fog from the meds. Take it slowly. Hope these meds work better for you 🙂 I'm sorry you were triggered by that person with SI. How are you feeling now?

@creative_writer How's things today? Uni? If you don't mind me asking, do you observe Ramadan?

With me today, I took some kids to the park today. It was a pretty cool park that's local, but has a flying fox, trampolines, water pump, bridges, rockclimbing walls.... it was quite awesome. If it wasn't so windy, I would have stayed longer. I didn't want the kids sick because they are going out tomorrow.

Mmm not the best I’m just about to get home and I feel like I’m going to burst into tears. I didn’t even know why it triggered me I feel so silly @tyme.

Oh! I thought you were home already! @Birdofparadise8

I have this awesome Inspiration calendar that I was given last christmas. I only opened it a few weeks ago. But today's quote is: YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO FEELS LIKE THIS; JUST BY BEING HERE, YOU ARE BRAVER THAN YOU REALISE.

@Birdofparadise8, not my best but not my worst. Hope things go smoothly for you this evening.

@tyme, I'm glade you had fun with the kids. I feel a definite improvement from the long weekend. The long weekend was h*llish (me and rain bleak weather don’t mix), I had awful migraines, depression was so bad, and SI burnt like wildfire, I haven’t done much uni stuff as a result lately and I haven’t been able to fast due to migraines 😭.

Re: Tw Not Coping

That's a lovely quote @tyme.

Mmm, same here @creative_writer.

I'm just going to cook dinner so I'll be back in a bit. Let's hope I don't have a melt down.

Re: Tw Not Coping

What's for dinner @Birdofparadise8 ? I had a big lunch today, so I'm still not hungry. Well, I had a Vietnamese bread roll thingy... I forgot the name of them.

@creative_writer , migraines are sooooo debilitating. I really hope you get some relief... anything! I have a migraine once in a while and I can barely manage. Do you have any options in terms of migraine relief? I don't know what they do nowadays.
