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

I know it's tough. I try to tell someone over the phone or in person how bad things are, and they don't think I'm that bad, don't listen and don't do anything.

That's such a nice quote @Jynx.

It really does it's awful.

I also feel my change is coming now. Not feeling great anymore. I guess I knew it would come at some point today.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I'm sorry @Shaz51

Do you have any home help to help with Mr Shaz?

Re: Tw Not Coping

What about you though @Shaz51? If you framed it as the home help actually being for you, would he be okay with it?

Re: Tw Not Coping

I'm sorry my nan is the same. She didn't want home help now she is in a nursing home.

You need respite, too @Shaz51

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 would it help if we switched up what we're chatting about? Perhaps part of it is that we're focusing on the difficult stuff.

Liiiike... do you have any artsy craftsy things you like to do?

Re: Tw Not Coping

I don't think so @Jynx.

It feels like a wave of sadness has washed over me.

Not really I've done some painting here and there.

Re: Tw Not Coping

We all care about you, and you need support too, @Shaz51.

I do hope something good happens. You could as your doctor about home help.
