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.
sometimes putting the mask on helps @Birdofparadise8 focus on the positive feelings you get while out

Yeah I know I do it all the time.
Still should have to feel like this @outlander.

Hi @creative_writer@outlander@Bow@ArraDreaming@Jynx@fluffylight@Shaz51
How is everyone today?
I’ve had my nutrition class which is good we have got into groups for our assignment.

Re: Tw Not Coping
That's a positive than @creative_writer.
Mmm, no, not good today. I'm feeling down and out. I want to cry.
My friend also bailed on lunch and the movie, so that sucks.

Re: Tw Not Coping
@Birdofparadise8, I've been struggling with attention problems though, still, it's frustrating. I feel so stupid, but it is what it is. I don't know what is wrong with me, but I don't want to keep struggling with concentration, it's very stressful. At least I'm not suicidal anymore, yesterday I was, got through it with PRN.
I'm sorry your friend bailed, is there anything else you can do for yourself today as self-care?

Re: Tw Not Coping
Concentration is a hard one, @creative_writer also, you are not stupid. I think you're very smart.
PRN helps when you're suicidal. Why has no one told me about that?
I want to make a chocolate brownie, but I'm also on the verge of tears that's not because of my friend. It's just depression stuff.
My psychologist and KHL would be disappointed in me the last time I spoke to them things were going okay.

Re: Tw Not Coping
@Birdofparadise8, I am proofreading as we speak, clearly, I should cut back on multitasking but I keep getting distracted.
PRN can help when things feel worse. I hope you are able to feel better soon. Chocolate brownie sounds like another idea.
I don't think you will disappoint your psych or KHL, they are there to support you

Re: Tw Not Coping
ah, okay good luck @creative_writer
Yes, I'll go make them soon.
Mmm, I don't know. My psych said the time before when I was really suicidal that this gets in the way of work we can do.
