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, intrusive thoughts are intrusive thoughts at the end of the day and can be challenging to manage. I’ve tried calling SANE, but then i would hang up because I don’t feel like waiting. I’ll just leave it at that, I don’t want to take over your thread.

Are you currently at work?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I think I just need to cry to release it all

Take it moment by moment, staying safe can take a lot of energy, but by taking it a bit at a time, it feels more manageable

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, take it as it comes. Do you think you could get referral to community mental health considering how bad things have been?

I’ll be fine, I’m not having any urges right now at least, brain is just being brain

Re: Tw Not Coping

I’m not sure I don’t want to call psych triage they aren’t the best @creative_writer.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, it can be hit or miss, but it’s always an option if needed

Re: Tw Not Coping

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I get that, describing everything that’s going on can be hard. It does help if someone is there to advocate for you though. I had my psych intervene last year, do you think something like that would help?
