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, I hope the shift and the phone call with the KHL counsellor go okay. Just the normal here, studying, showering, evening class

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hi @creative_writer

Ah, cool, sounds good. Will you have exams?

How are you today?

KHL went well. We talked for an hour and covered a lot. I also mentioned how we were staggering or going around in circles.

Mmm, work was a struggle. It was a hectic shift, and I was the only one doing registration for at least five hours while a rude nurse was breathing down my neck, asking why they had been waiting an hour when I was getting through them as fast as I could.

M think I've mentioned before that my other coworker was being rude and passive-aggressive. She was going it again. It isn't very good, and I shouldn't have to put up with it. I came home sobbing, and I didn't know what to do. I tried to get through to KHL again, but I had no luck. I don't understand why this is affecting me so much. I couldn't cope at all.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I feel anxious, a bit overstimulated, trying to relax so I can focus on my assignment. No exams, I'm not sure if any of the units in my course have exams, it's largely assignment.

I'm glad the KHL counsellor phone call went well. I'm sorry the coworker was rude again, remember it's not about you, it's about her

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh, I'm sorry @creative_writer, do you have a lot of assignments to do?

Yeah, thank you. Mmm well, I'm not sure she was pretty awful to me.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I have one due Friday week.

It’s not your fault she was awful to you. You don’t deserve that 💖

Re: Tw Not Coping

What is your assignment about @creative_writer?

Mmm I guess I still feel like it is. I just don’t know what to do.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, on stigma around mental health.

Sometimes it’s hard not taking things personally, sometimes you need to step back and look at the situation objectively, but I realise it can take time to get there at times. Do you have much planned for the rest of the day?

Re: Tw Not Coping

How fitting @creative_writer.

I suppose so it’s just hard when she is saying things directly to me. I was asking her a question and how to do something and she told me to shut up because I was giving her a headache. Also a lot of other things.
