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

Sometimes when we're feeling tired and overwhelmed, it's best to pull the covers over our heads, try to get some sleep, and wait for the new day.

I hope you get some rest and feel better in the morning @Captain24

Re: I can’t cope

Hi @NatureLover.

I guess I will get there. All anyone says is that ‘you’ve done it before you can do it again’ Its like no one listens. Yes I’ve done it before but maybe this time is different.

Its like all my CM says is that I have ‘long standing friendships’ that’s my best friend and a friend in town that we have lunch every couple of months. Apparently that shows that I’m a really good person and that my thoughts can’t really be that bad.

Sorry.. I don’t think any of that made any sense.

Yes @Jynx. I’m exhausted. I am just so tired.

Are any of them helpful @Captain24? Sometimes those lists can be a bit patronising, I find.

Re: I can’t cope

Hi @espressologic.

How are you going?

I just said above about the whole ‘you’ve done it before you can do it again’ and it was the first one on the list!

I find it frustrating and irritating. It’s not overly helpful. When I was in hospital we did ‘tapping’ and some of these were the mantra. I didn’t cope very well!! Lol

Not too badly @Captain24, it's a bit frosty tonight but the heater is going!

Yeah, I admit I was reading some of those affirmations in a silly voice and it made me smile, especially #8 😂.
