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

Hmm that’s a bit odd have you asked your GP when you’ve seen them?

Maybe your dehydrated?

Sounds yummy @creative_writer.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I think I am developing one of those intense migraines again 😢. Probably should lie low.

There is nothing wrong with crying, it’s a good release. It is also adaptive since it signals that we need support 🫂

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hey @Birdofparadise8 and @creative_writer good to see you both 😊

I've jumped on to take over for tyme. I agree that crying is totally natural hey! I love to have a good cry. I think tho that it can easily get exhausting if you find yourself crying quite a lot. Be sure to stay hydrated, and sometimes it's good to switch it up between engaging in coping strategies, and engaging in distractions. Which would be best for you right now you reckon @Birdofparadise8 ?

Hey @Jynx

I have no clue I’m just on my way home from Woolies and need to cook dinner when I get back.

I just feel crying can make me worse that all.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 Mmm it can be a tough place to be. Do you get a sense of release/relief/catharsis after crying?
