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

So scared that this is all gonna end with me having ECT. Not sure how many more medication options my pdoc has. The stimulant he put me on was doing wonders for my energy and motivation, but the last 2 days I’ve really struggled. SW said probably cause of my lack of intake.

see what pdoc says tomorrow. Sigh. Again. Gonna ask for a week off! I need a break.

how you doing? Your furbabys keeping outta trouble???

Re: I can’t cope

I’m so sorry it’s so hard @Bow. It sounds like a never ending vicious cycle.

Maybe a week of appointments may allow you a little rest? How would you go without support though?

I’ve only got 2 now. Mum just picked hers up. My two are really driving me crazy. They have to go through the bottom of the pantry and pull all the shopping bags out but there is nothing there. I guess I’m not ok. It’s really only minor but I’ve been screaming at them. I feel really bad. I’m a horrible mum.

Re: I can’t cope

I'm not laughing, but I'm smiling... @Captain24 . I think you know why.

When I'm with the kids, I feel I'm always yelling at them. Then when I don't see them, I miss them.

Don't be too hard on yourself. This is the joy of having kids!

Re: I can’t cope

They are both now sitting on me asleep. @tyme. It actually makes me feel worse. They love me even though I’ve been screaming at them.

Re: I can’t cope

They love you because they know you love them. @Captain24 They know you care. They know life is not always a bed of roses 🙂

Guess what? I'm home now! No more housesitting. The owner came back and I didn't even know. I get to sleep in my own bed. I woke up early today but decided just to stay in bed. I think I was in bed until just before 10am which was nice.

Re: I can’t cope

Pix is having a little fit so I rub her belly @tyme I wish I could share videos. It’s so cute!

Im glad you stayed in bed this morning. I hope it has helped you a bit or really a lot!

The irony of you getting to sleep in your own bed tonight! 😜

Re: I can’t cope

You don't realise how much you miss your bed until you don't get to sleep in it! @Captain24

I'm sure your babies are cute as, even though they are annoying sometimes.

Re: I can’t cope

I’m glad you are home and I hope being a school night that the kids leave you alone @tyme.

Funny story… on Facebook someone found a red cavoodle puppy. My thought was ‘ I know someone that has one’ It took me a bit to figure out who it was!
