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

@tyme I can relate though
sometimes our oldest kid loathes our middle kid, just for no reason
We’ll be in the car and he will be doing nothing wrong and the big kid will go “why do you always talk to me!!”
Or “i was the only kid until you were here!!!”
savage as….

Re: I can’t cope

Oh! That makes more sense @ArraDreaming if adults are involved. It's good bonding time.

Though...my BIL is pretty deaf - seriously. He's got an issue with his ears. Something to do with the fluid in his ear and thus he actually cannot hear. It's often a screaming match because he is deaf. He has been waiting to see the ENT for a long time now, but still hasn't got an appointment.

At first, we thought it was general hearing loss from loud music in his ears, but after tests, it more than that. It's a structural thing.

It's a pretty cool game though.

Re: I can’t cope

So are you actually going to walk her @tyme ?

Im glad walking is helping. Maybe a sleep on the floor? If you can get down. I hope you get it back into alignment soon. Bad backs are horrible.

Mine is really bringing me down. I just pulled the tape of that the physio put on and now it’s even more sore. Lots of OTC pain relief and I mean lots!

If it’s any help, my CM said that a lot of people are having trouble with sleep right now. It’s something to do with the weather. That’s why she is making sure that I’m taking stuff to help me sleep and making sure that I am doing my sleep routine. But I am still struggling getting to sleep, the new med is a bit better though. As with you, not enough sleep is dangerous.

Hi @HopeDream

Nice to meet you. I’m sorry you are struggling at the moment.

I have faith in you that you will get through. It’s not an easy road but the light is there.

Re: I can’t cope

I know walking will help me @Captain24 . I just need to do it. I want the full sunshine shining on me when I'm walking, and it's been so cold, so i'm at home instead....

I really need to prioritise it for my back's sake.

Is your back pain from the bulging discs again? I hate having back pain... it's crippling. I was sitting on a chair today and I felt this pinch shoot up my spine. It was so intense....

So yes, once Ruby Rose can go for walks, I'll ask the kids to take her and I'll take the kids lol.

Re: I can’t cope

Sleeping on the floor is the BEST for my back @ArraDreaming @Captain24 ! I love sleeping on the floor, but I feel I need to buy one of those heated mats for the winter. Before, I was sleeping straight on the floor with not mattress or anything. But because it's cold now, it's not good for an arthritic back.

I had a work mate who had a heated mat. I think it was korean. I don't know the name of it but it runs on electricity to pump heated water throughout the mat. It was awesome to sit and lie down on. I'm going to look it up.

I reckon exercise is best for my sore back. I'm not going to say it's for every sore back because it depends on why your back is sore.
