Re: not coping

im really dissapointed in myself. i couldnt control my urges last night so feeling really sore and sorry for myself.
i tried to reach out and connect to a helpline but i ended up hanging up because i didnt know what to say.

Re: not coping

I'm sorry that happened last night hon

It is hard not to be disappointed in yourself, but at least you tried to reach out for help. That is better then nothing.

Please take care of yourself today.

Sending lots of love 💗💗

Re: not coping

That's totally normal @outlander, both not knowing what to say and hanging up because of it. You can be totally honest and just say "It's my first time calling and I don't know what to say". The counsellor will ask questions to make it easier for you to open up. Once you get started you'll find you're just talking to another human and it will come naturally.

Re: not coping

It is hard when we feel like we are starting all over again @outlander

Do you need any medical attention?

I'm sorry you have to go to work this afternoon. Can you call in sick if you are still not feeling great later on?

Re: not coping

hi @simplesymbol

nice to meet you

ive called helplines before but its usually not knowing what to say or more how to word it. the last thing i also need is for them to call for external services as well so its a big fear of mine, and i am always careful with what i say.

Re: not coping

no its ok @Snowie

no i cant call in sick at this point. i really should work. i have so many debts that im trying to pay off. i cant afford the rental market with the amount of $ im spending tryng to repay the debts. im getting there slowly but the more i can work and pay off the better i guess

Re: not coping

I can understand that @outlander Sometimes we do have to work when we really don't feel like it. I hope at least it is an easy shift and it goes quickly for you.

Re: not coping

i just hope its an easy going shift @Snowie but sometimes it just drags on. have an early start tomorrow for volunterring as well but hoping it wont be to much of a late day. i sort of regret saying i would do it but i also didnt know all this stuff would be happening either

Re: not coping

Unfortunately we cannot see the future @outlander

I'm sure when you get to your volunteering gig that you will have a good time. It is just finding the motivation to go in the first place hard.
