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

Thank you @amber22

I loved having a chat with a police officer yesterday. It was great. It came out of nowhere and I thought they were going to get cops here and take me to hospital, but that didn't end up happening as I was on my way to work.

I feel everyone I've been talking to wants me to tell them I'm safe and won't do anything and that I'll reach out for support if I need it. It feels like it is for their peace of mind and not mine.

I am just saying thought I am currently safe.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I am glad that you are currently safe, thank you for letting me know.

I know how you feel, sometimes I feel like people only check in on me for their own peace of mind, rather than sometimes actually caring about how I truly am. But then again, that could be my overthinking, because if they didn't want to check in they wouldn't, which makes me think that maybe they do really care and I am just being cynical.

Do you have much planned for today? @Birdofparadise8

Re: Tw Not Coping

Gosh, that is a good point. Maybe I'm overthinking it as well.

I have a session with my psychologist, and that is it for the day. I thought I would do it last night, but I didn't, so now my mind is going around in circles for tonight @amber22.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I think that it will be good to talk about how you've been feeling recently, we are here for you if you wanted to debrief afterwards. Maybe try and do something that might relax you before so that you're not working yourself up too much for it @Birdofparadise8

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah, I'm a bit nervous about what will happen because if I am totally honest with her, I know where I'll end up @amber22, which I don't want.

People keep telling me to get rid of the medication, but if I was going to do that, I wouldn't have bought it.

I'm watching Young Sheldon lol.
