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

Hey @Captain24 , whilst you say you rely on here too much, remember it's not forever.

One thing my psych said to me in the past was, "When people are well, they don't go to seek help for the 'fun of it'".

I believe there will come a point where you will come here for a fleeting moment to say hello, but the reliance will be less. However, at this point in time, while you are waiting for your next clinic admission, you may need some added TLC and care - and that's totally ok.

I'm sure both @Bow and I can say that we have been in a similar place. Well I know I have. When one feels helpless within, it's time to reach out.

We care.

Re: I can’t cope

I'm so sorry to hear how distressed you are. Would you consider calling your local hospital or SCBS? @Captain24

You deserve to be supported at this time. I know you have the inner strength even if it feels so hard right now.

Re: I can’t cope

I did try to call earlier but couldn’t get through. @tyme. I’m not being dismissive or anything else that I’ve been accused of, but our hospital isn’t equipped.

I’ll try again

Re: I can’t cope

Yes, you've mentioned that before @Captain24 . I know they are not equipped, but surely they will have something in place - eg a patient transfer? Please keep trying.

Re: I can’t cope

I’ve given up waiting for SCBS so I’m going to go to bed. Apparently I need to stay up until 10pm anyway, so I guess it helped.

Im still in a really bad way but I am safe.

Sorry for jumping on in a mess. I will pop right on back out.

Ps @Bow I got more Lego. I got the rabbit and the campervan. Plus I’m putting in an early order for Bumblebee. He was my favourite transformer.

Re: I can’t cope

Bumblebee haunts me. Like my arch nemesis. I don't know why they allow my life to be a mockery and destroyed in yet another looming life storm. What have I done to deserve all this greif and troubles. Why can't they fess up and help me to fix the mess and traumas?

Re: I can’t cope

Hope you managed some sleep @Captain24 and that perhaps today is a little lighter for you.

can you do some Lego? We have the rabbit, daughter built it. And my tuxedo cat arrived a couple of days ago!
