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

@tyme, I’m holding up better today, body feels more normal, starting to feel something again, but I know it doesn’t mean it’ll escalate like yesterday. I hope my optimism does not betray me. Did you get up too much with the kids?

@Birdofparadise8, somatic flashback lasted all day yesterday. I hope you and your mum find somewhere nice to dine out ♥️. We are eating at home today since we are thinking of dining out on the weekend

Re: Tw Not Coping

That sounds nice I can’t cook here in the hotel so we have to go out @creative_writer.

What is a somatic flash back if you don’t mind me asking?

What did @tyme say that was optimistic?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@creative_writer , just spent time with the kids to do quiet things at home. The boy wanted to do homework, then wanted to do gardening. I told him I'm NOT going to go outside in the freezing cold to garden. So he chucked a hissy lol. Cried and cried and cried.

Argh.. I didn't sign up for this.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I think it was further up from Southern Cross @Birdofparadise8 when I went to Mary Poppins.

I was in the city yesterday and the traffic was bonkers there lol

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, re-experiencing body sensations of trauma. I was hoping my optimism that things won’t end like yesterday won’t leave me disappointed. Have you decided what you will eat?

@tyme, kids are something, especially boys. I hope you do get the opportunity to wind down this evening
