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

Howdy @Captain24 I've jumped on for tonight! Here with ya.

Just thinking about compassion, and who deserves it... and I think we can feel like we don't deserve compassion, but in the end it's not really up to us to decide whether or not someone ought to give it to us. I've got oodles of compassion here for you, and I am not wanting to show it (or not show it) because of anything you've done, but because you're human and I believe you deserve it simply because I know you to be a thinking, feeling being.

Anyway before I get too rambley, I will send you some huggles 🫂 and offer some chats if you want em 💜

Re: I can’t cope

I’ve made a whole big mess of things @Jynx. I just keep making things harder for myself. I can’t be trusted. I don’t do things right. I’m useless. I’m stupid. I’m scared. I don’t see the point. I’m pretty sure it’s just time to give up. I’ve had enough. I don’t want to. I don’t care to. I feel like I’m done.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 no mess too big that it can't be cleaned up hun. I can hear that your brain is potentially spiralling a bit, and making some very black and white statements about yourself.

You've been in this darkness before. It's very easy to get lost in it. Sometimes the best flashlight is to focus on the simple stuff, is there one small self-care thing you can do for yourself? Even just a hot cuppa. I'll pop the kettle on 💜

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 mm rough either way. Is there some small piece of self-care you could muster?

Re: I can’t cope

I’ve had a shower and washed my hair. Plus I’ve cleaned the kitchen/living room area. @Jynx. I did it just in case. But it’s self care
