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

Mmm, okay I'm working in progress I guess.

I've just finally sat down for the first time today after flying back to Vic, and I was right I would get upset pretty quickly. I just wish I could sit down and not want to cry for five minutes.

Can I ask what you went through @Jynx?

Okay, sounds interesting, @creative_writer I hope you're having a good night. How is your migraine?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Been a tough day for you hey @Birdofparadise8 - I hope you can settle in with some very low key chilling n recuperating. Got a comfort show you could pop on?

I won't go into detail on my history, but have experienced my own share of bullying, abandonment, loss, all coupled with undiagnosed ADHD that I only figured out a few years ago.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Today itself has been okay just now, I'm on my own I can feel my emotions.

I'm going to watch Jack Ryan on Prime @Jynx

Right okay I'm sorry you went though that, but at least it shows that it's possible to come out the otherside.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I feel a bit better after dinner, still not great. The light is still hurting my eyes a bit, but I suppose it would’ve been worse if I had not been wearing amber tinted glasses.

We have our own ways to dealing with things, I hope you are able to find what works for you

Re: Tw Not Coping

Do the tinted glasses help @creative_writer?

I guess we do I think mine right now is crying.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I'm glad you're able to find that hope - I absolutely believe you can do it too. I'm rootin' for ya! 🤗💜

I don't know that show, what's it about?

@creative_writer love those amber tinted glasses - they save me so much grief, both in terms of staring at the white forums screen all night, and when night driving! Don't get me started on those LED headlights all the new cars seem to have, they're the worst.

Re: Tw Not Coping

It's about a CIA agent @Jynx

Re: Tw Not Coping

Sounds like action/thriller type dealio @Birdofparadise8. Tell me a bit about what you like about the show, if you like?

Re: Tw Not Coping

It's a spy type show. Jack is a CIA agent, and he goes on different missions to solve different things for the American government.

Are you trying to distract me @Jynx
