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

@Birdofparadise8 he knows I haven't been mentally well and been in touch with the hospital, so I think he knows I've had thoughts, just didn't expect things to flare up at that precise moment. I was pretty hurt that he called it a "tantrum". I just felt like he didn't understand what I was saying to him during our conversation earlier, and felt worse as a result. My hyperarousal and feelings of shame went on overdrive. When someone is struggling feeling misunderstood can really drive someone off the edge. I guess I am better off limiting any discussion regarding mental health because it's just not productive.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Precisely @Birdofparadise8 ! When you tell yourself to stop thinking about food, you are actually thinking about food... same with SH. If you tell yourself to stop thinking about it, you actually think about it more!

Arghhh... our brains are complex things....

Although I have the thoughts, they don't bother me at all.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 he probably didn't mean to be as harsh, but we were having a very heated discussion. I don't usually react this way. I feel like I react this way if I am really struggling, things get amplified.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I'll be heading off soon, but I look forward to speaking to you all tomorrow.

In the meanwhile, let's encourage each other to get out and have some fresh air - we can go for a walk, take photos, and share them? (no people or identifying images or course 🙂 )
