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

Hey @Birdofparadise8 maybe you don't want your Mum and Dad to find out cause you know it would hurt them, cause they care about you and you care about them? That's something to hold onto.

Those are really difficult thoughts to live with and you're not alone. Reaching out for support is a good thing and nobody thinks you are weak, quite the opposite. Stay strong hun 💝

Are you going to chat to KHL today?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah I know they care for me and I care for them I just don’t want them to be disappointed in me.

I’m not sure I’ve been talking to them like everyday since Tuesday @Paperdaisy. I don’t want to be a burden.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 These services exist to support people like yourself during times of need. You're not a burden, you deserve support as much as anyone. See how you go, maybe you can try some grounding exercises (I've found this app helpful) but if things escalate for you later I would encourage you to reach out.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, depression is tough, SI is common. Your feelings are valid. I know it's hard to be kind to yourself, can you think of one nice small thing you can do? I hope dinner goes well for you ❤️

Hi @Paperdaisy, nice to see you. How are you doing? ❤️

Re: Tw Not Coping

Voila, that's the nature of feelings and depression and the whole lot @Birdofparadise8 - there are just some things we don't understand.

You're the only one that can change this and make a difference to your life.
