Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away: No responses please

Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away: No responses please

Got something that's bugging you?

Want to vent, but don't want a response?

Sometimes our minds can get stuck in circles trying to sort out an issue. This can keep you up at night, or make it hard to focus on other things. I find that putting things away, and not thinking about it temporarily can be helpful.

This is the place to get it out, and then give yourself permission to let it go.

Maybe you will need to get back to it some other time, but this is space where you can put it in a place so that you can leave it for some time and (try) not to worry about it in the mean time.

It's a thread where people don't need to reply, it purely just to get it out your worry and concerns.

If you want to show your support for someone, hit the 'like' button. In this thread, 'like' doesn't mean that you 'like' someone's issue, but you support them in letting it out.

So write down your concerns, put it in a vault, shut the door, and allow yourself to walk away from it.

Pls note: If you are reading other people's posts, please respect that they don't want a response. Show your support by 'Liking' their post.

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away

Hi @Former-Member
I hear you and unfortunately feel quite the same. This week has been particularly hard and when I reached out for help I was smacked down and told to suck it up and get on with it.
That goes well with my poor self esteem. Why bother anymore? I try to look at the positives, I try to do the right thing, and for what? To feel like crap all over again. Maybe I’ll try again tomorrow, or maybe I’ll just find some hole to hide in for a while. What does it matter.

Dear @Sakurapuss and @Former-Member

I can relate to your messages .....I feel like the more I hang and care for Mr G .....I feel like I can't do anything else. Whenever I speak to someone about my caring role, I feel overwhelmed but they don't know what to say or only really want to talk about lighthearted things that have a positive outcome.

WE just got back from an expensive meal from this beautiful restuant and as usual.....I'm running around caring for him...it's so so easy to forget about me. and I get respentful and angry at myself and him.

I cannot get out of this cycle.

@Sakurapuss were'nt you studyng last time we spoke ?

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away

Hi everyone,
So glad it’s Friday as I’m only just hanging in there.
@PeppiPatty no I’m not studying but I have 2 jobs. My fun casual job has become a nightmare as I’ve had to “step up” and take on higher duties for no extra pay. It’s extra hours (extra $ to pay bills is a bonus) but it’s all the stress! I’ve never aspired to be a manager. I’m happy to just be a worker with no strings attached. My other job is shit enough as it is and home life could definitely be improved. I just feel out of control and everything is crashing down around me. Thanks to all you folks here that give me a sense of feeling normal

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away

I worry about the state of a society when it seems completely acceptable for a bunch of grown men in a ute to stick their heads out of the window and yell out to a single woman walking outside a school to "get a normal looking haircut you *insert words that are just gross* ". I get that there are worse things in the world than name calling happening, but it gives me the creeps and makes me feel scared and sad to think how that is even a thing, and what that may mean for the people in their world 😞

Telling myself...
"Take very little notice on those people who choose to treat you poorly. It is how they are defining their story..not yours.."

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away

I just took a look at the new Government website "Head to Health". Apparently for those of us with BPD "adjusting your attitude" can be helpful. Wow...just wow. Good to see the Australian Federal Government is doing its bit to break down the stigma around BPD. So very very very sad right now. What hope is there if that is the advice being given out at the highest level of government in 2017.

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away

I haven’t got a worry in the world. I adjusted my attitude and now my BPD is cured. Hurrah!

Wow. There are just no words. Thanks Australian Government for making me feel like such a worthwhile human being in so many ways.

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away

@Phoenix_Rising wow so that’s where I’ve been going wrong! The government’s comments don’t surprise me though. They are my employer and the HR section told me that my MI was literally in my head and if I changed my way of thinking then I wouldn’t have any problems as I was the one creating them. Sure i’m going to start thinking I have superpowers and take over the world. Like that’s going to happen
