Re: Am Not Coping

Hey @Former-Member

I've just read your last couple of posts and you sound in a bad way. It's good that you have called people for support but it hasn't been so helpful.

Can I suggest that you call the 24/7 helplines such as Lifeline - 131114 and Beyond Blue - 1300 224 636.

Sometimes it's better to talk to a trained counsellor who is not emotionally involved.

Please take care tonight,

Frog

Re: Am Not Coping

 

@Former-Member  You have shown some courageous values on this site.  

Sorry no-one has been able to keep you company when you really needed it.

It is one of the things that I am very slowly coming to terms with .. that others dont think the same or have the same values as me, but also getting older I am also finally managing to link in to enough that do have enough of the same values for me to feel alright.  It might just be a glimpse of a lady across choir whose story I know and can relate to.

Hang in there. @Former-Member

I also have to realise that when I am upset. It takes a lot to calm me down and I might be hard for others to be around.  Try and find things that work for you .. SELF CARE .. having a scented bath ... listening or watching something .. you are also wonderfully high energy .. it can be hard to down the dial .. at least it is for me .. which is why I am trying to develop a med routine.

 

Re: Am Not Coping

@Former-Member. Yes I would expect my friends to droo everything and come running. You and I would do this. Have your friends helped in the past? Have they been there for you before?
I think LifeLine would be good for you to talk with tonight. It seems you can't 'switch' it off by refocusing tonight. That's okay. It happens like that sometimes. Some daus are harder to refocus. Maybe you would be better talking it out.

@Former-Member 

I don't know your story @Former-Member.

Tell me a little about yourself so we can understand what is happening for you.

Is there everything that helps you or soothes you?

What supports do you have?

Re: Am Not Coping

@Former-Member. You have to stop saying that. You have to replace those negative words with positive ones. If you can't do that - try replacing them with positive images.
Cats lying in the sun. A still lake. Soft gentle clouds.
Try and refocus. When you hear that negative talk - use all your energy to ignore it. Then imagine calming images.

Re: Am Not Coping

@Zoe7. Yes I had a great time today. Loved all our friends being there in the corners. And I love how I can come and go and look after the plants.
Sweet dreams my friend. I'm off to bed in a minute. Have to be up for work in 6 hrs. Hopefully my stomach will settle down soon and let me sleep.
