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

Yes, I think so, too. @creative_writer

Though not to have them simply dissolve with time, because I think they are a significant messenger of sorts...

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Kyle1 @Birdofparadise8, I don’t know about both of you, did you also grow up being shamed for experiencing uncomfortable emotions. I was time and time again. Didn’t really have any adult role models for managing emotions either.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I was shamed for expressing anger. @creative_writer

I guess my parents did the best they could...

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Kyle1, sometimes parents don’t know how to manage their own emotions, I don’t doubt they did their best.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I totally agree with you @creative_writer . It's not pleasant to sit with unpleasantness, but it's something we all need to do....

Re: Tw Not Coping

Mmm I’m not sure @creative_writer I know I didn’t like to express them though.

Hey @Birdofparadise8 ,

I'm pretty good today. Enjoying the sunshine. Chilling. Relaxing 🙂

Do you work Sundays?

Re: Tw Not Coping

That’s nice @tyme

No not this week thank the lords. I haven’t been feeling great today and need a rest I’m working tomorrow. The night shifts mess with you and with the new medication it’s making it doubly worse.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yes @Birdofparadise8 , the meds and night shifts would be do hard. Once things settle, I wonder if you can jiggle the med times so it suits you better?

I've had to do that. Overtime, you also learn how environmental factors affect the effectiveness of your meds and therefore, when to take them e.g. if you've had a big day physically, your meds take less time to work in terms of tiredness - so i take my meds later then.
