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 have and do. I read a long time ago it has something to do with the pineal gland I think??

That's why I like fire light. I can be awfully miserable but a nice wood fire is a comfort. @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

@tyme, it makes sense in a way. Just surprised, I never noticed before, or maybe it’s more prominent during the cooler months. I find maintaining a mild depressive state has been hard, mornings are milder but things get darker afterwards. I guess I have to let it be.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Kyle1, fire sounds nice. We use central heating, but it feels colder today, I don’t know if it’s turned on right now.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I hope you're learning there is no shame in sadness, @creative_writer ...

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus says: "Blessed are they who weep, for they will be comforted"

Re: Tw Not Coping

What if you don't have anyone to comfort you @Kyle1?

"Blessed are they who weep, for they will be comforted"

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Kyle1, it’s going to take time not to feel ashamed of being sad.

@Birdofparadise8, I think it means that God will comfort those who weep.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh okay @creative_writer

I just want someone to hug me right now, but I'll never get it.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 🫂.

I want a hug from a safe person but I can’t have it because nobody is safe.

In the context of the gospels, Christ is the comforter... Faith over flesh.

Yet the book of Genesis does say that God made man alone and saw it wasn't good. So he made him a partner, too...
