Something’s not right

I can’t cope

I can’t cope

Hi. I’m new and have never been in anything like this before.
I’m really struggling with depression at the moment and just need a place to vent.
there is no reason as to why I feel this way. I just hate myself and feel like I’m an unworthy and useless person. I don’t have a partner or many friends. I feel like I keep pushing them away when I’m down. I’m just not worthy of them. I hate life and just wish I would go to sleep and not wake up. I feel so much emotional pain inside but numb at the same time. None of this makes any sense but it just how I feel.

Re: I can’t cope

It’s been a roller coaster, that’s for sure @tyme. I was so close to not making it. If it wasn’t for the hospital stay and you guys I’m not sure I would have.

The kids next door are out playing and hitting the fence and all Pixie is doing is barking. They should be in bed!

Im glad you can spend some time with the kids. I know how much you love them. I hope you can get the admin stuff done during school hours.

Re: I can’t cope

The kids are STILL playing? It's all dark now!

I thought your place was quite spread out from neighbours. @Captain24

To be honest, I'm so glad you pulled through. We know you were tethering between life and death. Yet you were willing to give things a try. That's what pulled you through.

Re: I can’t cope

They have just gone inside @tyme.

Not that spread out. There is probably 15m from their house to mine but the fence is only a couple of metres.

It was my last option but I guess it went well. I now have hope and a little sense of self worth and a little more confidence.

I didn’t want to admit to how bad it was. But now I don’t need to. I know the help

is out there and that they will willing take me at anytime. It’s just work that is my issue.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 I feel like living costs have shot up too. Everything is so expensive, it’s hard to get by without work. I still live under my parents roof, can’t afford to live alone right now. Studying full time and working at the same time is too much of a stretch for me with my mental and physical health. I’m getting Centrelink payments, but they are not much.

Catching up with your bestie sounds nice. A social outing can be good for the soul. What are you guys doing together?

I'm so glad you have experienced what it's like to get help @Captain24

I'm not going to say 'told you so'. It's something each of us have to experience for ourselves. I'm just so glad you did it 🙂

I'm off now, but I'll catch you because you return to work.

Have a good evening.

Re: I can’t cope

It’s meant to be equal parts @NatureLover. I need to find some connection though. Just don’t know how or where.

Hi @Captain24 🙂

Could the SANE forums be an example of 'Connection' ??
