Am Not Coping

[utopia]

So good to hear that @Zoe7. And @NikNik has a great knowledge of what people are going through and the empathy and expertise to guide us somewhere safer.
I'm so pleased you were able to talk and release some of that pressure that was building up.
There is a lot of love for you here. At times when you are unable to 'feel' it, maybe reading the words of support will help - even if it's on an unconscious level.
How are you feeling now about maybe climbing into bed with CAT & Toby nearby? Doyou think you could close your eyes and just stroke Tobys coat and concentrate on that sensation of his bbeautiful soft fur?
I'm going to have a ciggie and then head to bed. Big emotional day for me and I'm exhausted. I hope we fall into a deep and dreamless sleep & wake up more rested tomorrow.
Sitting with you. ♥♥♥

Whinge away @Former-Member!!!

I so get that trapped feeling - your don't actually have any options and you have no capacity to find any! Whatever way you turn there are road blocks and obstacles - but you need to find the long way around, over or through them to survive. Does that sound familiar?

Glad to hear the kids are asleep - and that your little girl is ok 

I am so exhausted but not sleepy. It gets even harder to sleep when I am this tired as when I lay down my headache is so bad that I feel light headed and nauseous. I often stay sitting up on the couch and then lay down as my eyes begin to close to try to minimise the effects.

@utopia Three simple words for you my beautiful little cocky friend... I Love You

♥♥♥ ditto @Zoe7. Night

yes @Zoe7 - quite like that. Sometimes the obstacles are so huge that its quite humanly impossible to navigate. Though the obstacles do change, probably depdendant on both the obstacle itself and the strength of the anxiety/depression.

I do hope you get some sleep, sending hugs and understanding as much as i can,

@Former-Member A bit like moving a truckload of sand with chopsticks 

Hugs to you too lj - and I think you probably understand more than most!

Good morning @Faith-and-Hope and everyone else

I cannot see your picture yet / on my phone 😞

I feel empty this morning. I woke up sweating. In my dream I had a massive fight with the MD in a meeting with all staff and it got really really nasty and degrading and he started to use the "power button". I woke up and was so upset about the dream and that there were issues at work that I felt helpless to fight and then all of the sudden I remembered that I don't work anymore. That made me feel even worse, so I'm up now, way to early and I wonder what will happen with my life.

I am waiting for he world to wake up. I can here the birds making a row, but it's still dark outside and nobody is awake.

I am looking around me and I just feel like such a failure. I've been chasing my career all my life, compromising in so many other areas of my life and all the chasing came to a crashing halt. Battling childhood trauma and now out of work with heaps of time on my hands to remember how useless and worthless I am.

Please let someone in this house wake up to take my bad thoughts away...

Hello, sorry to hear you are feeling so low right now.  I am just wondering how you usually manage to pick yourself up when you feel this way.  Is there some way you can help yourself to feel better until everyone wakes up in the house?
