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

@Birdofparadise8 I think waitlist vary and not all psychiatrist are taking new clients. Melbourne is crazy with the amount of people, but I feel like I have literally no friends still but I think my social anxiety has skyrocketed, covid hasn’t helped and the retraumatisation thing earlier this year created havoc on my mood and anxiety. There are a lot of opportunities in Melbourne to be fair, just don’t avail them.

Yeah they can vary.

Social anxiety can have a toll on making friends @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I think I’ve become so comfortable in my little bubble. Even my family think I don’t talk to them much. I get exhausted. I feel safer in bed under the covers.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hey @Birdofparadise8

Sorry for not joining you last night. The conversation the night before left me in a very dark place. I just didn’t want you to think I was rude.

I hope you have a great day today.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Nah it’s all good @Birdofparadise8. I’m still struggling a lot but I need to put boundaries in for myself to prevent it happening again.

Hope work goes well for you. I work tonight
