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

Thank you @Kyle1

How is the medication treating you?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 it is helping me sleep, I feel. Most nights. But doesn't do much for my depression... I get awfully hungry these days. But mentally? Still struggling quite a bit.

What about you - how are you going with it?

Re: Tw Not Coping

I really feel you there in some parts @Kyle1.

It's not helping me sleep at all I have to take the other medication I was on before for sleep ontop of it. Yes depression for me is getting worse. I've been SH, and my SI keeps getting worse. I have a GP appointment on Wednesday, so I'll let her know what has been happening.

Why can't something go well for us both @Kyle1?

Re: Tw Not Coping

yeah... don't know @Birdofparadise8

I mean, I know we can each identify something good in our lives. But in terms of mental health? Oh boy! Give us a break, right?....

I can't figure it out. And it feels like I can't ride it out, either.

Yet, day after day we get through ...somehow, don't we

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yes exactly I don’t know how we do it @Kyle1. Deep deep down we ultimately know we can’t leave even though the depression wants us to.

Quick question do you know of a good heater and fan in one?

Re: Tw Not Coping

I've only burned firewood @Birdofparadise8

I don't reckon you'll get away with that in your dorm room. Not if you can't have a candle...

If you have to pay for your electricity you may want to consider something that's 800 watts or less...

Re: Tw Not Coping

I have a wall heater @Kyle1

No I don’t have to pay for it. It’s included in the rent.

I more need a fan.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Sorry @Birdofparadise8 . I'd reckon just about anything would do, that wasn't too bulky, and was safe. There is a lot available by way of fan heaters, I believe...
