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.

It’s hard when you can’t stay asleep @Bow. I usually stay asleep but just can’t get there.

Im hoping your pain eases soon. Have you been on the treadmill?

I really hope your SW is well enough to come back.

I tend to sleep ok until about 1am, then wake up heaps from then onwards @Captain24

yeah been on the treadmill.

I need to drag myself outta bed sometime and pack to go away tomorrow.

OH that’s right.. you’ve got vivid tomorrow night @Bow. Whats the weather forecast? It’s cold here but no rain for the long weekend.

Is D at her dad’s? Does she know about vivid?

Re: I can’t cope

Yep vivid tomorrow night @Captain24 no rain in the forecast thankfully! So glad I changed the days.

daughter knows and is very excited.

she’s at her dads today though and is trying a sleepover again tonight 😩 I’m sure she will be home again late tonight. She has a crash night coming up at school where they stay the night at school. She really wants to go. Will be interesting to see if she can do that.

I’d be excited too and I’m definitely not a child! @Bow. It’s to hard on your own as it’s just not safe. Maybe when my bestie gets back we can do stuff like that. Her son would love it.

Awesome about the weather! This shows how exciting my life is, it’s not raining so I can do washing! Who sad..

I know it makes you anxious but maybe if she can do it it may make the school one easier. But the school one will have her friends so maybe that will help her.

My feeling of safety has dropped on here now. I just have to be extra careful

Whys that @Captain24

Re: I can’t cope

I am wide awake. I’m hoping that lying in bed will help.

I’ve only taken my night meds, not anything to put me to sleep. But I’ve been mixing the sleep meds so I need to stop and try them one at a time and see if any actually work.

I have taken pain relief but my back is still so sore. It’s both hips now. It is just so frustrating.

Im trying really hard to be ok but it just seems like life keeps throwing me curveballs.

Today has been pretty uneventful. Just went to the markets quickly but what I wanted wasn’t there so I came home. Other than that it’s just been Pixie and Jett time. They have been getting along a bit lately and are having a play with each other at least once a day plus at bedtime!

Sometimes I wish there was someone around at night just to chat too. But most people are asleep at this time of night.

I was thinking, maybe if I set my alarm and get up earlier maybe I’ll go to sleep later. I did struggle to go to sleep early when I worked and was getting up at 5 am. It’s funny though, I had no trouble sleeping after nightshift. You would usually think sleeping during the day would be hard, but no, as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out. I wish I could do that like I use to.

I wonder if stopping smoking has caused an issue? I guess if I think about it I can call the Quitline and ask. I do have cravings of a night, well all day, but I use to have one before going to bed. It would be interesting to find out.

Sorry to hear about this @Captain24 😢

Some frozen meals sounds good 👍

That's not good that now both your hips are painful. Plus your back?

I hope you managed to get to sleep last night...

In response to: Re: I can’t cope

Re: I can’t cope

Yes my back is radiating down to my hips. @NatureLover. I just need to get over it and stop whinging.

My safety depends on who is around. I was in crisis one day and was told to keep doing what I was doing. So now I get concerned.

I got to sleep around 2:30.

Hope all is well
