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

While I am a volunteer on here and can be here at any random hours either helping or seeking support myself I mean my actual job. I’m working another shift today. It’ll be my 7th shift in a row. 2 more shifts to go before a day off from the workplace @Birdofparadise8

Re: Tw Not Coping

No @Birdofparadise8 I don’t really get breaks here. It’s just quiet and everyone is entertaining themselves so have a chance to log on and check here and social media for a little bit
