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

@Kyle1

Don’t trust people you’re right.

Someone called the police on me.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hi @Birdofparadise8, sorry haven’t been responding, was caught up with uni stuff yesterday evening, don’t know what’s happening with placement.

I’m sorry you feel really scared right now. Calling the police is typical for strong SI. It’s about your safety. I do understand it can be really scary, it certainly was when I had the police over or had them almost called over

Re: Tw Not Coping

They didn’t come over at least is was just a phone call @creative_writer. it was weird there was no working that they would be called like thanks for the heads up. I said I’d reach out for support if I need it. I have work at 2:30 so now I have to debrief and get in a calm headspace for work I feel that will be tricky but oh well.

That’s all good hope your assignment are going okay.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I hope you can do something soothing for yourself 💖🫂.

I have one assignment to go, and then I don’t know what will happen. It’s either between starting placement or getting course restructured if they can’t find me one

Re: Tw Not Coping

Probably won’t but oh well.

I feel when people call about SI and things are intense they only want to comfort themselves like I could say one thing or another to make them happy or not.

Good luck with you assignment @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

yeah...sorry to hear that @Birdofparadise8

It's an intervention that doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense to me.

But we live and learn,..hey? Or die trying...

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah like I had no warning SANE was calling them or anything. I had a miss call from an unknown number and then an email from Vic police and I was absolutely petrified I thought they were going to come to my house at like take me to hospital. Then I had a call with SANE and they wanted to make sure I’m okay but really what can I say @Kyle1.

I have work now so that will keep me safe for at least the next 8 hours.

The police officer even knew where I worked, my email and phone number but not my address thank god.

What was it like when it happened to you?

Re: Tw Not Coping

invasive. confidence crushing @Birdofparadise8

privacy and confidentiality is fictitious - so, to learn that was upsetting, and cause for further isolation.

it's like a recipe for 'this is how we make a liar' ...
