Something’s not right

Not Coping

Re: Tw Not Coping

all ok here @Captain24 we dont get flooded but we get cut off so we have to rely on our little town 

our beach is 30 minutes away @Birdofparadise8 , @RiverSeal , @creative_writer , @tyme 

Re: Tw Not Coping

30 minutes away.. I’m so jealous @Shaz51.

 

Monsoons sound pretty bad. Does your little town have enough supplies or do they have to get airlifted in? 

Re: Tw Not Coping

should have enough @Captain24 , yesterday we did a trip to the shops 40 minutes away in the pouring rain , it was soo heavy , had to go get new glasses as mine are broken  

Re: Tw Not Coping

How long does it last for @Shaz51. I remember doing some thing about it at school.

 

Re: Tw Not Coping

it can last for the summer months, usually 6 to 8 weeks of non stop rain @Captain24 , @Birdofparadise8 , @RiverSeal , @creative_writer , @tyme 

and then it depends on any lows forming into cyclones , but the water usually disappears very quickly 

Re: Tw Not Coping

Wow. That sounds a little scary @Shaz51. Do many cyclones come through? 

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Shaz51, okayish right now. Fish sounds good, what kind of fish are you making? I hope you sleep better tonight.

@Birdofparadise8, it has been pretty warm lately, it is at least going to get cooler as we approach autumn.

Hi @RiverSeal, hope you are well💖. That is a good point. It’s just that, I’ve found myself forcing myself to stay for a good amount of time on a call I didn’t find helpful because I was too scared of being rude and still feel unsure how I could end a call. I know logically the other person is trying to help, but if someone jumps into problem solving mode too quickly, it sort of triggers me because I feel like my problems are too hard for other people and I’m left to sit with things by myself. I’ve felt so alone my entire life, like my emotions are too big for other people to sit with. I shut down and end up giving very short answers because I’m too distressed. It’s about balance, you do need a good few mins but you don’t have to stay for 40mins.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Shaz51, I hope you are able to stay safe during those cyclones💗

Re: Tw Not Coping

Very much so I don't have aircon in my room, so it is gross @creative_writer

Re: Tw Not Coping

No @Captain24 , a big cyclone now and again might hit but a lot goes back out to see which is good 

just frozen Basa fish and noddles for dinner @Birdofparadise8 , @creative_writer
