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

I'm just so over feeling like this. I've been trying so much to help myself, but the moment things start to go okay, I'm back feeling shit.

I don't want to wait to see my psychiatrist for five weeks, but everyone is telling me how traumatising it can be going through the public hospital. I feel like I don't have a choice at this point. Next month I won't have uni and I only will be working around five shifts a fortnight and that's all my boss gave me so I will have a lot of free time on my hands, which is a worry. I go okay when I am busy and when I am not busy, I feel like I am right now.

Oh I feel you there my mind is a racecourse going round and around @amber22.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I get that. The one thing to focus on is the step in front of you. Even when everything feels like it's come crashing down, just try and focus on that one step in front of you and that one thing that might help you in this moment. Whether it's reaching out to talk to someone like your counsellor or the SANE Forums/ helpline, or whether it's putting on Young Sheldon and chilling out for a bit.

I think that my advice re the hospital/ Pdoc would be to do what feels best for you in your gut. Seeking advice from others is great in most circumstances, but I think right now you should just listen to you and what you need. You're the most important person in this situation so just do what you want to and what will help you the most @Birdofparadise8

Re: Tw Not Coping

Mmm I was thinking about calling KHL, but I'll see if I can tough it out myself instead.

I've just started a new show called The Devil's Hour @amber22.

Yeah, I think I'll have to do that.

Re: Tw Not Coping

See how you go, KHL is always there if you needed it and you can call it anytime you need @Birdofparadise8

Ooo how is that show? Are you liking it so far?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yes very true. They are 24/7 @amber22

I literally just put it on. It's a psychological thriller. I'll let you know once I've watched the first episode.

Do you have Prime because that's what it is on.

Re: Tw Not Coping

That sounds so interesting, I'd love to know your thoughts once you've watched more of it

I don't have prime but if it's good I might have to get it to watch! @Birdofparadise8
