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

Yeah maybe I’ll have to ask.

I know when I feel myself starting to go into a spiral I sometimes give in and go with it and like you said watch things and listen to sad music to make it worse @creative_writer.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, it might just be feeding into your spiral. It’s awesome we have been able to identify that, now it’s about addressing it

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah, but do I want to @creative_writer?

I don't know, sometimes I just like being in it. It can be comforting I would say. I don't know why, even as much as I don't like it.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, change is scary. But do you want to spend your life like this? You need to want to change it. It doesn’t have to be an overnight change, it might feel more manageable to go slowly

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yes change is very scary. No I don’t really want to. I think taking things slowly is a good idea @creative_writer.

Do you have Netflix?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Did you hear about the young man Kobee that was shot? How sad have you heard the recording from the helpline he called. It’s terrible what the lady said on the phone to him @creative_writer.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I haven’t heard of it before, have you seen it? I might revive Netflix when I have time to watch things

Re: Tw Not Coping

no not on netflix in real life Kobee is @creative_writer

If you're feeling okay give it a google, but don't go into it if you don't want to. It's just awful the helping operator.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Okay, sure thing @creative_writer. If you're going to bed I hope you have a good sleep. I'll probably let everyone know how I go tomorrow anyway.

I'm just packing and doing some washing. Finishing work in the time I did means I'm doing it all now.
