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

@tyme, @Birdofparadise8. I’ve been sick. I think viruses have been floating around school. It’s been exhausting emotionally and physically, I do enjoy it. Just trying to manage my MH to my best ability. I’ve made a bit of progress on my assignment today which is a plus, been sick all weekend. I have a few days till it’s due, though need to get the big chunk out of the way tom since Mondays is my day off from school

What have you both been up to today?

Re: Tw Not Coping

People are unwell everywhere. I was sick last week, but sister was sick, but BIL was sick, and all the kids. We still have one kid who is sick @creative_writer

@Birdofparadise8 , how did your conversation go?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Sorry to hear you are sick, @creative_writer. It must be going around, hey?

Good luck with your assignment.

I went to the shops to get some stuff for my bike and some food. I cooked butter chicken for dinner, which was nice.

I'm back at uni tomorrow so that's exciting.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I'm just excited to learn new things this sem @tyme

Meet new people as well.

I have four classes tomorrow, which is about nine hours in total. I have my first class at 8:30, so I want to go for a bike ride beforehand, so I'll be up early.

I need to get a bit more fit and healthy. The meds I am on have made me put on a lot of weight, and it's also been harder to eat as many vegetables. Cooking for one person is hard.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@tyme, it’s true people are getting sick everywhere. I’m sure my immune system will get used to being around kids. It did leave me cranky, I think a night or poor sleep did not help with my immune functioning. I spent Tuesday night crying and then didn’t sleep much. Then had to get to school for the next few days

@Birdofparadise8, butter chicken sounds nice. I hope uni goes well 😊

Re: Tw Not Coping

I wouldn't be the first to tell you how hard it is to cook for one @Birdofparadise8 . That's why I've given up. I'd rather pay someone to cook, otherwise I'm eating the same thing all the time. The salad and vege mixes are probably the best thing for one person. I feel your energy with uni starting. It sounds very exciting.

@creative_writer , I'm curious to know how you felt after pushing yourself to go to school?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah, I know I do like the salad mix and things like that. I do miss my mums cooking @tyme

Yes a lot of hard work over the next 16 weeks but it will be worth it. I just hope I can keep up with the content.
