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

@Birdofparadise8, they are evening amber glasses, I’m going to go to bed early tonight. They help with sleep, I get overstimulated from too much light in the evening (both natural in warmer seasons and artificial) and then I sleep poorly. Crying is okay, it’s natural 🫂💖

@Jynx, I have both the clear daytime and nighttime blue light blocking glasses. Sensory overload makes things a bit more challenging, but it helps a bit to wear glasses when using electronics

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, maybe watching some TV tonight would be a good distraction?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah I'm watching it now, while I take my nails off. I've also just put up some photo booth photos from the wedding @creative_writer. I'm contemplating whether I need to reach out to KHL or not. I will talk to my regular Tomorrow night, but she said I could call or whatever tonight if I need.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I mean I wasn't, not in some 'ulterior motive' kind of way @Birdofparadise8 - I was just curious. I'm always hungry for interesting new shows and stuff to explore. But if you need a distraction I'm happy to provide 😊

@creative_writer Oh I didn't know they came in different models for different times of day. I just got mine from Kmart 😅 Perhaps it's something I can look into further! Thanks for sharing.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hahaha all good @Jynx. Do you have prime?

Re: Tw Not Coping

I do have prime - perhaps I will check it out @Birdofparadise8 . I've been watching Hannibal lately (very intense, all about serial killers 😱) so I might need to break up the super intense crime shows with something light 😅

Re: Tw Not Coping

Fair enough @Jynx

There is a show called Utopia. I think it's on free to air and it is so funny. There is an episode from five-ish years ago and they talk about building a stadium in Hobart like they are wanting to now.
