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

What state do you live in? @Jynx

I’m in nsw and lucky enough to live in a nice place. How long are you visiting family up this way?

Re: Tw Not Coping

That sucks to have to travel so much but at least you have someone @outlander

Thanks yes I did it was good. We have made our group and I liked how I could answer the tutor's question that others didn't know.

Re: Tw Not Coping

It took me a long time to find someone who specialises in a rare condition that I have so it’s worth the travels. Very big day though and usually I need a day or 2 to recover but I only go every 6-7 months so it’s ok.

Yay that’s cool. Must be good knowing some of the answers. Do you like the group you’re working in? What’s the project? @Birdofparadise8

Re: Tw Not Coping

I'm coming off a sleeping tablet, but my sleep has been terrible. I'm not sure what to do. My GP doesn't want me to be on it but I need to be able to sleep @outlander @Jynx

Re: Tw Not Coping

Ah okay @outlander

I do like the bit of extra confidence when I know something. I don't normally speak out because I'm shy or don't want to get it wrong, but sometimes I just have to face the fear and do it.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 just work at sane. I couldn't work more than one job, my ADHD brain would explode.

Totally feel you on the sleep issues. Insomnia of any form is suuuuper tough to deal with. What are your gp's concerns about you staying on it?

@outlander I'm in Naarm (Melbourne) and my family live up near Coffs Harbour. Bit of a trek, but I am looking forward to some warmer weather and a bit of beach time.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I tried a melatonin one last year, but that didn't do anything, and because it wasn't on PBS, it was very expensive. While in the hospital, the Pdoc gave me one that isn't as addictive, but coming off it has been hard.

She also doesn't want to do much to my medication because I have the pdoc, which I don't like, but anyway. My GP said my Pdoc might get annoyed if many people prescribe medication @outlander.

Is that okay to say @Jynx?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Wow that’s a trek! @Jynx are you flying or driving?
It’s been really nice weather lately but getting colder again. Not sure about the GC though, hopefully it’s nice for at least a couple of days!

and I apologise for sounding snappy. I didn’t mean for it to come out the way it did
