Not Coping

I just got through and get to speak to my regular @Jynx

Aww happy for you @Birdofparadise8! Hope it's a good chat. It warms me to know you two have such a good connection 💜

No she got me to breathe a few times and said if I'm safe, just to keep doing that @Jynx

We talked for like 15 minutes now I'm even worse

It's because we talked last night, I guess. I'm sobbing so much right now my throat hurts @Jynx. I feel she is just pawning me off for bloody breathing. I just wanted to talk for a bit.

@tyme how are you?

Hello hello! Sorry @Birdofparadise8 , I've just logged on for a short time. It sounds like you reached out to someone but it wasn't so helpful?

Yes, my regular at KHL @tyme

We spoke last night, so I guess that's why. We talked for like 15 min, and all I did was tell her about work and how I'm anxious about everything happening next week when I go to work, and my colleague has a meeting with my manager. I feel my regular was just focusing on that and how I was anxious about it, but I'm also really sad. I'm miserable right now. She said if I'm safe, just to keep breathing, which I'm finding hard while I'm crying so much.

Breathing to help with my anxiety. I'm literally shaking right now. Not just because of that also, I'm just so overwhelmed. I don't know what to do. I'm so lots right now. The moment I said I'm safe, I thought she wouldn't want to talk to me for long.

I'm so sorry to hear this @Birdofparadise8 . It sounds like you really just want to speak to someone tonight. It can be so isolating sitting with these thoughts in the 4 walls of your room.

I hear you.

I hear how much it hurts right now.

What do you think will help right now? Are you tired enough to go to bed?

I know I feel so alone and to be turned around to just breathing, and I'll be fine. She doesn't normally do it. I don't know why it had to happen today of all days. She was like try breathing, do meditation and if that doesn't help, watch some TV. I just wanted to talk so badly.

I'm not tired, yet I'm still too emotional. I've taken my meds and watching some TV while I'm crying @tyme

So sorry to hear this @Birdofparadise8 . Hugs to you.

Can you think of a few self-talk sentences that could help you through this situation? I know what I would say to myself to soothe myself, but I'm not you. So I'm wondering what you could say to yourself right now?

No need to share if you don't want to.
