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

No not really been threatened again with police coming over tonight if I don't call KHL.

Oh I remember you saying this before is this from your past the feeling of contamination @creative_writer?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I’m sorry 😔, I know it’s scary, I hope it does get better 💖🫂

The past makes me feel contaminated, and taking a shower did not help me feel any less contained

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah thank you @creative_writer I'm just taking things one day at a time I don't really want police here.

I'm sorry you still feel contaminated. What has helped in the past when these feelings come up?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, take it moment by moment.

I’m not sure how to deal with intrusive contamination thoughts, I know they are not logical but can’t seem to shake them
