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.

This may be triggering

What’s wrong with me?

I had a pretty good day at work today but I still feel like I’m drowning. I can’t shake it. There isn’t much hope left. Why can’t I appreciate the good? Why can’t I stop this feeling?

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 you're not broken and there is nothing wrong with you ❤️ I know that you are more than these feelings.

There have been times that I have absolutely hated myself. But something that really helped me get better was to acknowledge that these are thoughts and feelings (thoughts of SI, that I was worthless) that I was having. If these thoughts are intrinsic to me, then they can't be fixed. But if they are thoughts, they will pass. Eventually. And if they don't, I know you will find ways to cope with them. I did ❤️ That's what's helped me anyway.

Last week you said you and your MH nurse came up with a bit of a plan. Can you tell me more about that?

Re: I can’t cope

We didn’t really come up with a plan @Former-Member. We just chatted and I told her everything. She was really concerned with how deeply depressed I am. She did give me some distractions like singing and dancing but I just can’t do it. Music is not getting me out of my head.

Im at the point where I feel like nothing is going to help. I feel defeated by it all. It’s like I’ve lost all motivation to get myself out.

Im hoping the psychiatrist has contacted my GP as I have an appointment tomorrow.

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24, it must feel scary feeling like nothing can help ❤️ But I hope the appointment goes well tomorrow.

I know you aren't alone in what you're going through ❤️

I wonder if some of the social threads might help with some distraction?

Re: I can’t cope

So I went to the GP and she listened. Which was good. I told her how bad I am. She is now talking admission too. I still rejected it. She is ringing my nurse to try and work out a plan which is great but it doesn’t help me right now. So I still feel just as defeated and hopeless as I did.

Heya @Captain24, sending hugs ❤️

Of course, it's your choice and we'll support you, but I really encourage you to read and connect with others on the forums about hospitalisations. You could read this post on what to expect from hospitalisations and other peoples experiences.

Big hugs ❤️
