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

That my depression will get worse and my suicidal thoughts. I’m already feeling like I’m getting worse as each day goes by @amber22.

I just came back to Tassie for a week for my cousins wedding which is one nice thing @Shaz51. Then I’ll go back to Vic till I come back home again for a break or something.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I totally understand that - do you have any coping strategies that you can have up your sleeve in case? Someone you can talk to (like this forum), or things you can do to distract yourself when your thoughts get rough? @Birdofparadise8

Re: Tw Not Coping

lol even more silly me than @amber22.

Well when I go back home I have meditation, watching tv, exercising, diamond art ect. I wouldn’t say it all helps but it’s the best I’ve got. I also have my regular counselor at KHL so I’m not totally lost even as much as I feel utterly alone and sad.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Not silly you at all 🙂 @Birdofparadise8

Those are some great ideas and great supports to have as backup. I've been hearing a lot about diamond art tonight, I'm thinking I need to give it a try!

How are you going with your counsellor at KHL?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yea it’s alright I wouldn’t say it does much to make me feel any better though nothing really does.

She is amazing I don’t know what I would be doing without her @amber22. I don’t think I would be here without her and the forums to be honest. You all mean the world to me.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Aww @Birdofparadise8 you mean the world to us too ❤️

It's good to have those supports around you, even if sometimes they might not seem like they do a big impact, overtime it is nice to know that they are around and a stable thing in our lives!

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yes, very much so @amber22 I honestly would be so lost without the support I get here. I don’t know what I would have been like 9 months ago and continuing since then.

I feel forever grateful to you and everyone here. You and @tyme have helped me a lot and so has the other such as @Shaz51, @creative_writer, @Bow and @Captain24
