Something’s not right

Not Coping

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

I'm not sure I can help you @Birdofparadise8 . But I'm sure you can help yourself.

Working in the health sector means we need to detach ourselves from work. After work, it is your time. I had to learn this the hard way and honestly, it did take a few days to detach. It is a very important part of your job now and also future jobs.

By 'thinking' that you are going to 'spiral' can inevitably cause it to happen.

How can you change the tone and reset that mindset?

Happy to talk about it once you finish work.

Mmm okay @tyme @Kyle1

You both are right I couldn’t control the situation but it still affected me.

How are you @Kyle1

Re: Tw Not Coping

It is understandable it has affected you @Birdofparadise8 . You are human.

However, now it's about being able to focus on what you can control right now.

Live in the NOW so you don't miss out on what life has to offer you 🙂

Re: Tw Not Coping

But I don’t have anything to do right now anyway @tyme.

Im literally trying to hard to not crying while I wait for the train it’s unbearable. I’m not sure if it’s to do with work or just general feeling really sad.

Right okay that’s good then @Kyle1.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Nice way of putting it that your problems are on vacation lol @Kyle1 . I like it.

Also, @Birdofparadise8 - if it is that constant sadness inside, it really sounds like depression is playing a part. Are you still on different meds?

In response to: Re: Tw Not Coping

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah I had a GP appointment Wednesday but she said to see how things go and I have an appointment with a psychiatrist on the 17th so to see if I can hold on till then @tyme.

My depression is bad I fell the meds are making it worse.
