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

I’ve let them think I’m on the way to work. I usually ring them while I’m driving but I just told them I was on the phone. @PizzaMondo @Jynx

At 7 it’s just something on here that I’m not feeling confident about but I don’t like letting people down so I’ll put my feelings aside and do it.

So I’m free until 7 just need to keep distracting myself until then

Im really craving a smoke right now too. 57 days.. I can’t break it now.

Re: I can’t cope

I’m scared I’m going to embarrass myself. It’s like the whole social phobia but online! @Jynx. It’s stupid. I’m stupid.

57 days you would think the cravings would stop! 😤😤😤😤😤😤

Re: I can’t cope

Thanks @Jynx. It’s just ridiculous. It’s on line not in person. But my social phobia has gotten that bad that it feels the same.

I will do it and push myself out of my comfort zone.

Re: I can’t cope

I did it @Jynx. Not sure if you were watching. I even joined in.

Now I can just chill for an hour before I have to leave waiting for my dogs to come home. It’s hard as they bring them at random times. I have to park down the street far enough away that they can see me but I can see them… so much deceit, but the planning makes me such a horrible person.

Anyway I tidied my house while I was on the chat.
