Something’s not right

not coping

Re: not coping

@outlander, volunteering on Christmas just demonstrates how big your heart it. I hope you enjoy the experience hon 💖. Cookies, cupcakes and the platter sound nice

Re: not coping

no i usually just get left out @Snowie its awkward and i dont want to anymore. its been long established im not really in the family

Re: not coping

my mother and her partner will be working @tyme shes staying at mine tonight and i have her most of tomorrow doing breakfast for her my other sister and sisters friend and mum when shes home and pop. thats about it.

borderline is hard. i try not to take it personally but its also hard because its not just christmas its basically every event now so i just dont go. i just drop pop off and use the time todo what i need to do. i dont really celebrate anything else besides christmas but i dont really even feel like that this year.

rejection is really hard for me and also so is the abandonment and inability to fit in, and trying not to get attached to people. i use to like being 'alone' and in my own space but now everyone is well gone when im not at work im just isolated constantly. the only people around me besides those that have a need for me are those that i pay.

Re: not coping

its more for them @creative_writer many have it harder then i do and if i can help bring a smile just for one day so someone doesnt feel alone thatll be good.

Re: not coping

my anxiety is so bad. urgh i hate when it comes on like this. its another thing to try and manage 😞
its also starting to flood here so the drive home tonight might be interesting.

Re: not coping

Least they are entertained @outlander Hopefully they go to bed soon and you can have some time to yourself.
