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

Been quite busy on the forums tonight @Birdofparadise8 @creative_writer so I wasn't able to respond earlier.

@Birdofparadise8 , if i were you, I'd probably buy some first to see if you like halva, and the attempt to make it lol...

Have you ever made hommus or baba ganoush?

Re: Tw Not Coping

So good for you though @Birdofparadise8 . Is it the garlic or the lemon juice in it that you don't like? Or the tahini?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Regularly try different cuisines @creative_writer ? Well, put it this way... it depends on who you make friends with lol.

I have a Lebanese friend who always gives me food. Last night was homemade tabouli with home grown parsley and tomatoes. She makes hommus, baba ganoush, fetoush, zaatar, kibbeh, falafel... the whole lot 🙂

Then I have polynesian friends... that's when you get all the various coconut and fish meals.

Then I have african friends. Ones who cook stew with green bananas.

And PLENTY of Indian and Sri Lankan food - not my choice of food though.

So yes, I sort of travel the world in terms of food.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@tyme, sounds like you’re familiar with many ethnic dishes. I’ve had variety of ethnic dishes too, just can’t tolerate really spicy food, anything that doesn’t agree with my nose or with an off putting texture, or too much deep fried food. My HSPness makes me extra sensitive. But I have to say, many ethnic groups have a lot of delicious food 💖
