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.

Hi @Captain24

Have you ever heard of an app called Calm Harm. It helps with anxiety and helps "ride the wave" It has got breathing exercises on it. I find it really helps me when I have an anxiety attack.

Sitting here with you.

Aw @Captain24 ❤️ sorry to hear that

Would you like to have a chat? what's happening?

Re: I can’t cope

I’ve just had a shower @Snowie @lavenderhaze. I made it hot and steamy.

I have my breathing under control and my heart rate is slowing.

My anxiety is so bad though.

Re: I can’t cope

That's a helpful strategy, @Captain24 - good on you for being able to utilize it ❤️

Is there something on your mind that is making you anxious hun?

Re: I can’t cope

There’s lots @lavenderhaze.

I have to go to work tomorrow. I have to leave the house to go grocery shopping. I have so much to do.

I guess the biggest thing is that I see

my CM in half an hour. That scares me. She is usually really supportive. I hope today is the same.

Sometimes life is all just too much.

Re: I can’t cope

I hear you @Captain24

It can be so overwhelming at times

I hope the CM appointment goes well for you. If she is usually supportive then hopefully it'll be the same today.

Grocery shopping makes me nervous sometimes tbh, it can be overstimulating I guess

Re: I can’t cope

She told me that by not being honest, I have damaged our therapeutic relationship. @lavenderhaze. I copped a massive reprimand from her.

My anxiety is out of control because I haven’t been taking any meds. I have to wait until I see the GP in 2 weeks before I can restart meds. She has said that I have to restart the anxiety one though.

Re: I can’t cope

Oh no @Captain24, I imagine that must have been difficult to hear

I can understand that this must have added to your anxiety

Sitting with you ❤️

I am here for another hour, so we can have a chat if that'll help?

Re: I can’t cope

It hurt @lavenderhaze. It hurt a lot. But it’s my own fault. I was the one that wasn’t honest. I held back.

I’ve just been shopping so I’ll take prn when I get home. Maybe that will

slow the anxiety down.

She didn’t ask whether I was safe…
