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

@Birdofparadise8 the suicidal thoughts have been haunting me today too. The thoughts are like an annoying ghost, following you while you do things during the day, whispering unhelpful thoughts.

Aww I’m so sorry to hear that @Captain24 is there anything I can do to help? I understand not wanting to face people though it can be hard seeming fine to others when your actually feeling broken inside. Do you mean 8 pm if so that a long day then.

That is exactly the same for me they just love to pop up at the most annoying times and just take over.

How do you manage yours because my solution seems to end in self harm which isn’t very helpful @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Laura just do a range of things to distract myself like watching tv, reading. Breathing and grounding can help and anything that can be soothing like I love scents, calming tea, warm showers etc. I know there are substitutes for SH like ice, but I don't know if it really helps me though. I also write poems and reach out to helplines if I need to.

Yes @Birdofparadise8 8pm. They are 12.5hr shifts plus travel. I do get there a bit early but I don’t like dealing with all the traffic heading to the 3 mines.

I was in a crisis yesterday. I rang my GP and she fitted me in. Once she got the msg that I needed to see her she had every intention of scheduling me against my will. She decided it would be too traumatic for everyone involved. But I had to promise to stay safe or go to the hospital and to work tomorrow.

Sorry that’s a lot.

I'm not that busy in the morning so I plan to do some walking. I went for a short walk today, and my smart watch alerted me and told me i had low cardio fitness. For a watch to tell you that - it must be bad! @Birdofparadise8

I know I have neglected my physical health lately. I really need to start eating better and exercising. It's not just about losing weight, but it's able being physically well so my health doesn't put a strain on my mental health.

Yeah okay that’s similar to what I do @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

I’m so sorry @Captain24 at least you could go and see your GP.

Was your doctor going to put you in hospital agains your will. That would be so hard to deal with, but I just hope you can stay safe and know we are all hear to help. I value you and they conversations we have.

In response to: Re: Tw Not Coping
