@lovemimoon well I watch mostly dramas, Altered Carbon is probably my favourite thing on Netflix.
I’m ok, mind’s racing so I’m just trying to calm the negativity right now but I’m sure I’ll be ok.
Any plans for today?
Well today I have no plans and I'm home alone so I gotta find something engaging or I'll start bouncing off the walls I think I'll do a bit of the CBT I've been able to access through anxietyUK, watch some streams and depending on how I'm doing have a chat with CALM or SHOUT.
How about yourself any plans?
Hey @Millie2787 @GreenTea
You guys both okay?
@Past User not much planned here either, I went to McDonalds but that’s been about it hahaha. I’m glad you’ve been able to access CBT and I hope it’s going well
What's up?
I don't really know, I was trying to sleep and I had some sort of thing happen to me. Just started shaking and became terrified, I know that sounds like a panic attack, and maybe it was, but I don't know and I don't like throwing around serious terms like that when I'm not 100% sure about them. Anyway I'm getting sidetracked. After it subsided I basically just felt hopeless, like I'll never be happy, and like I'm not good enough, because recently I've been struggling to do anything, even my silly hobbies (which despite being silly are important to me).
I think I'm just not being kind to myself. I've been going through a lot this past week, maybe the most I've been through since my dad died. But this time nothing's actually happening, and that's what makes it worse. I'm in my bed feeling awful and ashamed of myself and I don't even know why. I know I'm going through things but in my subconscious I just feel lazy and pathetic because my big struggles are just things like feeling okay.
I didn't expect to go so in detail like this, maybe I'm in the wrong thread for this kind of thing.
It's a general chit chat thread but there's been instances of people (myself included) sharing difficult experiences so it's all good.
I'm sorry for your loss. It looks like you've been going through a really difficult time. I don't think you're not being kind to yourself - I think with everything that's going on, you might be feeling overwhelmed and it might be taking a toll? What do you think?
Ooooh no my dad dying happened when I was 9, I'm totally over that. I'm just saying I've not felt this bad since then. But I appreciate your concern
