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

Giving space between you and your feelings means learning to observe the feeling as an onlooker rather than being enveloped in it @Birdofparadise8 .

In doing this, what I did with my psychologist was recognise how the feeling:

1) looks

2) feels

3) weighs

4) coloured

5) texture

The more you observe it, you then become an observer and do not allow yourself to be 'swallowed' by it.

I hated doing this at first, but it DOES work.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh no we have done this before @tyme. I really don't like it.

I'll have a think about it alright.

What were you going to say about my cousin?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah, I hated it too @Birdofparadise8 - but now I know it works, so I do it.

As for your cousin, I was just going to say that that was the time when you first posted. When everything was happening then.
