Something’s not right

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

I get that. If you trust your Pdoc then it could be worth exploring it to see if anything does help you to feel a bit better, and to relieve you a bit of all of the constant mood changes @Birdofparadise8 I know that it can be quite exhausting after a long period of experiencing them

Re: Tw Not Coping

I'll just have to wait and give it time @amber22.

The hard thing I find is that one minute I can be fine and the next I'm sobbing and can't stop. When I get distressed and sad, it feels like I'm drowning and can't let it go.

Right now I can't stop crying five minutes ago I was absolutely fine. I just don't get why this happens to me.

Re: Tw Not Coping

What might be helpful is for you to keep a bit of a journal around the emotions that you feel and how frequently they change. Maybe keeping a notes on your phone and every time your mood changes quite drastically then note it down so that you have it to tell your Pdoc when you next see him, and that way you can also see how much they are changing overtime @Birdofparadise8

Re: Tw Not Coping

Maybe keep watching what you're watching and slowly start to get ready for bed when you feel up to it? @Birdofparadise8
