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

@Captain24 aww that's adorable, you need that in life ❤️ she's looking after you

and it's fair if you don't find it particularly helpful but you're right, it might help with clarity

I love scented candles! At night time if I am not feeling too good, I will always light a candle and listen to my favourite music, I think it helps me feel more grounded

Re: I can’t cope

Very alone. Very isolated. A lot of pain. A lot of thoughts. A lot of urges.

Hey @Captain24 ,

Before anything, can I just confirm you are safe for now?

Re: I can’t cope

My niece has a lot of 'issues'. She's very emotional, has a lot of anxiety, and is 'special'... my sister came home with a dog today @Captain24 . Totally not prepared. We've got NOTHING for the dog. Don't even have a dog bowl or a bed for it or anything at all.

She just randomly went to buy a dog without any preparation at all.

She an 8 wk toy cavoodle...

Re: I can’t cope

Which one is ‘special’ your niece or your sister! Lol @tyme. Just jokes.

I didn’t realise that your niece had actual issues.

How cute! I need pics..

How are you with it?

Re: I can’t cope

Yeah, she's really emotional. Doesn't want to go to school. Has stomach pains from anxiety @Captain24 . It's rough.

I'll try and send pics from my phone. The pics aren't very good because the dog just arrived at 6pm. I haven't had time to do much with it.

I don't really want the dog, but I can see my niece needs it.

Re: I can’t cope

Oh the poor thing @tyme. I hope you can help her through it. At least she has support and recognition.

Tomorrow’s job list… pet shopping!! 😜

Are you going to train as a therapy dog?

She is a little bit cute. she will grow on you but I know your concerns around pets. That was my first thought.
