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

Yeah I know it’s really hard.

For myself I know it’s because of the medication change.

Do you mean to prevent the spiral @creative_writer?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I want to prevent the spiral, but I don’t know what’s causing it, so I don’t know how to prevent it.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, spinach and ricotta sound nice. I’m having boiled eggs, a bit of halva and probably some vegetables.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, it’s a common Confectionery found in the Middle East and South Asia. Hope your meal can take your mind off things

Re: Tw Not Coping

ah okay what could you compare it to @creative_writer.

Mmm who knows this is when my mind goes crazy when it’s night time.

Though I went and bought a paint by numbers so I might do that tonight and see how I go.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I don’t know, it’s buttery and sweet.

My brain goes crazy when it’s night too during short days. I hope you can find some time to do some painting to wind down tonight

Re: Tw Not Coping

Ah okay where can you get it?

Do you do anything to it like cook it or something?

Yeah I don’t know what it is but just when I have time on my own the spiral just gets out of control @creative_writer.

I also have my period so that sucks a bit physical and mental pain lol.
