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

Yes we had a great fun. It felt like no time had passed which is good.

I’m sorry you’re feeling yuck I hope your day improves @Kyle1.

I’ve just got up so not too sure what I’m feeling like today, but I’ll just have to play it by year.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Kyle1, I could say the same about you, you've endured so much too ❤️ ❤️ . Sleep disruption is never good for my migraines of mental health, but I'm sleeping better again at least. I hope you feel better soon

Hi @Birdofparadise8, I hope you have a kind day ❤️

Hi @creative_writer

I’m just trying to get over a cold I have. I wouldn’t say my mood has been good this week let alone today but just taking things one day at a time.

How are you?

@Birdofparadise8, I hope you recovery up soon. Sometimes you do need to take it day by day, but you are getting there 🥰

I’m having a crap morning, I’m supposed to be studying but I’m moping around instead

Re: Tw Not Coping

I don’t really think I am @creative_writer.

I am feeling worse than when I went into hospital. I’m getting way worse and I’m worried about how bad my depression, SH and SI will get when I go back to Vic tomorrow.

I hope you’ll be okay as well @creative_writer.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, sometimes it is hard to see progress within yourself. Can you identify any signs of progress within yourself, even small ones? Remember you always have access to helplines and mental health triage if required.

I am not suicidal or self-harmy, so I guess that makes me okay I suppose? I am just upset

Re: Tw Not Coping

The only progress would be that I’m not dead and that I’m better at reaching out for help I guess.

Mmm okay I hope things aren’t to bad for you @creative_writer.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hi @Birdofparadise8

Did you have a change to make a list of supports or things to distract yourself when you return to VIC as @amber22 suggested?

❤️

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, those are good signs ♥️

I just need to shove the pain inside

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hi @hanami,

How are you?

I have my supports and I’ll go on some day trips around Vic on the train lines. I’ve been a bit sick to do it the past few days. I’m so exhausted just doing nothing. Also mentally drained right now. My mum has come home early from work and I’m just trying my best to not cry.
