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, I didn’t make it, my mum makes it. It’s meant to be good for the immune system too. I am sure you can find recipes on google. You might be able to buy it from a Middle Eastern shop, but I always have homemade.

I’ve just started this month’s period last night, so it’s early days and it’s not fun

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, she makes semolina halva. I would have to ask her for the recipe, I can do that if you like

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hey @Birdofparadise8 @creative_writer ,

Hope you are both well. I'm reading along.

I've had halva before. I have it on Lebanese bread just like how people put butter on their bread. I get mine from the deli. I've also seen it at Coles and Woollies. It's usually made of sesame. Sesame/tahini is very good for you.

It tastes a bit like sesame snaps, but a different texture.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Though I looked at the ones online at the Woolies or coles are full of palm oil and other nasty ingredients.

I might give it a go and make some if @creative_writer can get the recipe for me; I'll make it in the sem break.

How are @tyme?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, not sure, probably try to wind down, has a rough day.

Hi @tyme, been having a rough weekend, I am hoping the increased dose of antipsychotics kicks in soon. How are you?
