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

Yeah, the uni counsellor often are not equipped to deal with such high risk. I know I have been turned away from uni psych sessions @Birdofparadise8 . It hurts. But oh well, such was my lot in life.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yes, it's a balancing act between being high-risk and not high-risk enough @tyme.

What did you say about speaking to KHL about whether was it work or SI and SH from my post from last night?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah a lot if councillors aren’t equipped for high risk clients @Birdofparadise8
I’m glad the khl counselling is going well though and you have that regularly. That’s a positive at least.

In the longer term no matter what you continue studying do you have a couple of careers in mind specifically that your working towards?

Re: Tw Not Coping

You can become a diabetes educator down the track @Birdofparadise8 if you major in nutrition you can always study a specific focus like diabetes management

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yes, maybe I think a diabetes educator is a nurse, though. I worked in a diabetes clinic in Hobart, and they had nurses that were the diabetes educator and then the dietitians @outlander
