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

youd be surprised @Birdofparadise8

our library runs parent groups and senior groups and days where they have groups that teach people to use technology.

ours is located within a community Centre so they also have notice boards that have the local activities and groups as well

Re: Tw Not Coping

I know they have, but it doesn't change how I feel.

No matter how considerate they are, it won't change a thing, @tyme.

I thought things were going really well between us I just hope things won't change in our relationship.

Re: Tw Not Coping

worth a look @Birdofparadise8

its hard without supports but at least you have the forums, KHL and the psychiatrist even though you dont get to see them as much.

can i ask if you have like self care plans that you do to help yourself between sessions that you can use to self soothe

In response to: Re: Tw Not Coping

Re: Tw Not Coping

No I don't, really @outlander

I do the opposite and get stuck in my head, ruminate and make things way worse, kind of like what I'm doing now, but oh well.

Re: Tw Not Coping

would it help to go through some self care type activites so that you can learn to self soothe in some regard and help cope between sessions

In response to: Re: Tw Not Coping

Re: Tw Not Coping

Sure, what would something be that you had in mind @outlander?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hey @tyme

Have you been on the GS tonight?

Would you be free to chat more tomorrow so I can update you with how it is going with my aunt?

In response to: Re: Tw Not Coping

Re: Tw Not Coping

well theres a couple of different things you could try out @Birdofparadise8

some people find a coping box quite helpful. this is a box or container that is filled with things you use to soothe yourself when your starting to feel down or anxious. some people like to paint there nails so have a nail care kit, some like to do arts and crafts so have a crafty kit in there or a ball of yarn and hooks for crochet. other things might be a nice candle, a favorite movie or cd. do you think that would be something you would be interested in making up?


if your not to keen on a box. i can help you make a list of things that might help. i made up a poster in the past that had a list of things that would help me to cope, some would be an every day thing like walking.
