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

@Kyle1, my brain is just being brain, emotions don’t always make sense. I thought my depression was getting milder, don’t know what happened today.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I think this would constitute a "double bind"... @creative_writer @Birdofparadise8

Re: Tw Not Coping

"Double bind" ... feeling down about feeling down, sorta thing. A secondary and subsequent associative symbiotic inevitability that causes further tension. @Birdofparadise8

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Kyle1, I think many of us need to learn to sit with uncomfortable emotions.
