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

That is OK my friend @Birdofparadise8

I did private child care and I looked after lots of children and babies and then I became a step mum xxxx

Re: Tw Not Coping

That's good to hear @Shaz51

Sorry, I'm not much company tonight. I'm trying not to spiral right now. I'm very sad and alone.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I bet it would @Shaz51

My mum was lucky enough to have me. I was three months early, and they had another child before me, but she was four months premature, so she died. Mum told me she wanted to have like four children, but the circumstances changed. I think she could conceive. She just wasn't able to keep the baby.

Thank you, @Shaz51. Just a lot is going on right now.

Heya @Birdofparadise8 ,

Sorry it's another difficult night. Are your parents still in Melb?

Are you interested in some telly? Others here are recommending "Piece of Cake"... I've never watched it, but it sounds good.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hi @tyme

No, I don't know what's wrong. I'm lucky I got rid of some of the meds last night.

I'm so done with this.

Yes, they have left.

Re: Tw Not Coping

Maybe you just need a hug for tonight @Birdofparadise8 ?

At the same time, can you practice some self talk about this situation?

Positive self-talk:

Negative self-talk:

Technical self-talk:

Re: Tw Not Coping

And who will give me that? I don't have anyone.

I don't think I can do that right now @tyme, I'm sorry.
