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

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah, maybe, but if I know myself this much, I have about a 90% chance things will worsen. If tomorrow is anything like the past week, I don't know @Jynx.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Why can't I be okay for a few minutes and not feel sad and crying?

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 Mm it can very much feel like it is inevitable sometimes. But it isn't, not always.

Let yourself have a cry if you need to. I wish I had a magic wand and could take your pain away. But sometimes all we can do it find the least painful way to pass the time and hope for a better day tomorrow.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Tomorrow will just be the same @Jynx

Stuck on my own all alone and sad.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 Do you have much on tomorrow? Maybe you could do something nice for yourself, just because.

Did you end up calling KHL?

Re: Tw Not Coping

I don't have anything to do, like I could do some washing and stuff like that. Other than that, my day is wide open. No, I didn't. The queue is too long at this time of night.

I'm not coping right now. I'm trying SCBS, but who knows how long the wait is @Jynx.

I just can't with this. I can't stop crying and feel sad.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Keeping busy is always a good option @Birdofparadise8. And maybe also doing something simple but nourishing, like going for a walk somewhere green or treating yourself to some ice cream.

I hope you get through really soon. I'm about to finish up for tonight, so I'll leave you with a lil pile of hugs and hope you're able to get some rest tonight 💜

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Jynx I feel like I'm just letting so many people down and that I'm a failure. I've just had enough of being so miserable all the time. I try so hard to get better, but nothing is working. I just don't know what else I can do. I've been to the hospital, TMS didn't work, and it seems this new medication isn't helping either.

Yes, I'll see what the weather is like, and I will go for a walk.

Have a good night.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Sitting with you @Birdofparadise8 Im hearing how tough it is for you. Do you think you can try some of the self soothing strategies we spoke about yesterday to distract yourself from your emotions. I seen you have your psychologist appointment tomorrow as well

Re: Tw Not Coping

I've had some ice cream @outlander. I've also taken my meds, so I should be asleep soon.

Yes, I will talk to my regular at KHL, which I really need right now. I'm not coping. This week has been awful, and I feel awful.

How are you?
