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

Mention the meds or work @outlander?

Yes, we have been able to on other shifts, which have been fine. I don't see her that often, anyway.

I'm probably just overthinking it as I have been with everything lately.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Did you know that there are 3 types of self-talk? @Birdofparadise8 @outlander @creative_writer

Positive self-talk: When you say positive/helpful things

Negative Self-Talk: when you say negative/unhelpful things

Technical self-talk: talk about how to do something.

For each situation you dwell on, think of a sentence for each of the above self-talk categories.

Re: Tw Not Coping

100% @Birdofparadise8 - negative was my best too!

And then the coin flipped. Now positive is my strongest.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Imagine if all that time 'practising' negative self-talk was invested into positive? How big would the positive side of our brain be ? (NB, I'm not saying there's a positive side to the brain lol) @outlander @Birdofparadise8 @creative_writer

That's how I like to look at it.

Anyway, I'm off for now. We will chat tomorrow. Thanks for the chat 🙂

Re: Tw Not Coping

Lots or practice @Birdofparadise8 it’s trying to find the positives in the negatives or trying to rephrase it in positive terms.

@tyme if we had positive sides to the brain we prob could eliminate mental health or some mental health issues! Now that would be something hey
