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

Yeah I was just about to listen to some music.

I've been listening to a podcast tonight called the emerald. Have you heard of it?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Lol.. i can tell you haven't listened to much country music, @Birdofparadise8

It doesn't come more sad than that! Country music, and blues music.

As depressing as the music may be, there is a relatability in it, and by virtue that someone else has expressed it, we get this sense of connection and kinship. And simultaneously, we feel not so isolated, hey. So then it becomes almost feel-good music. It soothes. It resonates. And maybe that has something to do with our subconscious memory of the music of embryonic waters...?

Re: Tw Not Coping

I'm preparing to cook dinner. Am having a guest over tonight. @Birdofparadise8

So I'm out to pick up some veggies, and will shop for next week's school lunches, too...

So you work at 2:30? That gives you time to check out that podcast I mentioned... may help shift your focus a little ??

Re: Tw Not Coping

That's nice @Kyle1

I have to go to the chemist and stuff; maybe I'll listen on the way home.

Hey @Bow

I hope you don't mind me asking some more questions. I was talking to my aunt, and she said with the public, you mainly go there for a couple of days, if that. Do you know if that's the case because I would like to go for a week, maybe a little longer? I also hope you're having a nice day.
