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

Maybe your regular has run out of ideas? LOL. @Birdofparadise8 .

Do I sound repetitive too? Tell me, honestly. I won't get offended.

It's actually good they provide you with a regular to speak to and for so long.

Maybe you can use it as a chance to even debrief about what is happening for you right then and there?

Oh yeah, that's silly me. I can read messages, right.

No, you're very helpful, and you do say things to me which is good @creative_writer. You have a positive impact on me.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah, well, we have been speaking for the past eight months nearly weekly, if not sometimes twice a week.

I guess you can as well. You suggest me do the self-compassion and challenging thoughts, but I don't know. Maybe I'm just not ready to do it and need to try something else, which I don't know what it would be.

Yes nowhere else does it. It would be a good thing for SANE to do like the GS and KHL ways of regular chats combined but in SANE @tyme.

Do you mean when I talk to her?

Re: Tw Not Coping

How long was for both how many session, as well as the duration @Birdofparadise8 . . You can can answer whichever way.

So you've mentioned 30-90 mins.

So how many session do you get?

In response to: Re: Tw Not Coping

Re: Tw Not Coping

As many as I want till I am 25 years old.

It is mostly once a week, but when I was really suicidal, it was like every day for that week.

At the moment, we have been talking about once or twice a week. Though I don't speak to her again till the 11th as I have a busy week next week with work and my Mum comes over for the ballet on Saturday.

Re: Tw Not Coping

That's a pretty awesome service @Birdofparadise8 ! There must be a huge need for it.

Guided Service is very new. Ideally, we would want to be able to provide unlimited sessions, but then, resourcing will be a challenge. It's very interesting how KHL are able to do it.

Does everyone get to have a regular? Or do you apply?

In response to: Re: Tw Not Coping

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah it's pretty good.

You can have regular and ad hoc sessions as needed for crisis support. Like my file, I know there is a file in there that I need when I am in a "crisis".

My regular has mentioned she sees others regularly so a lot must do it.

When others might just call for a one-off.

I didn't have to apply or anything. She just mentioned to it once I decided who I wanted to be my regular then she told me she would and we could have the regular sessions.

That's what it looks like @tyme.

@Birdofparadise8, if you think so……

In response to: Re: Tw Not Coping

Re: Tw Not Coping

I do think so @creative_writer

You have helped me in so many ways I don't know how I could thank you.
