Something’s not right

Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

I guess, but you know what it's about.  @Jynx 

Yes, well, I haven't been able to. I've had no one to talk about it.

@creative_writer legit, hope tonight is restful for you 💜

 

@Birdofparadise8 fair enough, it can be tough. Glad you've got KHL there to chat to along the way 💜

Re: Not Coping

Yeah, and I won't see my psych until next week. He is off this week. @Jynx 

Re: Not Coping

@Jynx I need to sleep to escape from thoughts, because my mind is losing it. I’ll be okay as long as I have no awful dreams, I’m lucky I don’t get nightmares and bad dreams as often as I once did

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 did they not help? 

Annoying that you're frustrated after a call that's supposed to help

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 hmm... whenever I have stuff rolling around my brain that I wanna talk to my psych about, I find writing it down somewhere helps. Means it's physically externalised in a way. My psych actually told me that this is a legit important step of processing - if we don't talk about it, write it down, or otherwise express it, it makes it harder to move forward and can lead to rumination. Just food for thought hun. 

 

@creative_writer aww hun, big hugs. Same thing goes for you, maybe if the thoughts are super loud or looping or creating agitation, you could write em down? I hope sleep finds you swiftly 💜

Re: Not Coping

I'm not frustrated at her. I am frustrated at the situation I was telling her about. @ENKELI 

Yeah, I've just written a good solid paragraph, and I'm feeling better @Jynx

Re: Not Coping

Yay, that warms me to hear @Birdofparadise8 💜

Re: Not Coping

I had done it before I saw your post after the call with KHL @Jynx 

She wants me to work out ways to lessen the frustration when I am frustrated at a situation or person so I don't bottle it up and ruminate like you mentioned. 

Re: Not Coping

Glad the writing down helped. I wish it was something that helped me.
