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

Yeah. I guess I would probably be the same if I didn't have my own MH issues to deal with @Captain24

Your parents come from big families, right? But they only had 2 kids?

No @tyme she’s sick too.

yeah less market goers when it’s rains, but a lot of market organisers don’t cancel unless the weather is really bad. Which means we still gotta pay the market fee.

Re: I can’t cope

That's what I thought. That's hard @Bow . But I guess they need to make a living too.

Re: I can’t cope

I get it @tyme but surely you wouldn’t be a dismissive if it was your child.

Apparently they want 4 kids but it was a difficult labour with me but with my brother we almost lost both of them. They were told that with anymore kids other mum wouldn’t make it or the baby. I’m glad that they didn’t. There 2 kids are messed up as it is.

Re: I can’t cope

My mum wanted 4 too. She had three, then miscarried the 4th and that was it... stuck with three girls.... @Captain24

You may say 'messed up', but I'm sure you both have amazing qualities too. And you know how glued you all are together.. it's just hard to show it sometimes?

Re: I can’t cope

We are only glued together because we have to be. @tyme.

I have nothing to do with my niece. Very little to do with my brother. My parents I have to, they look after my dogs.

I can’t say that I love them and I don’t think they love me either.

Re: I can’t cope

It’s not by choice @tyme. My niece can’t be bothered and neither can my brother.

Thats why I don’t understand what love is. Thats why I’m so isolated.

That turn very dark. Do I make more sense now?

Re: I can’t cope

Hang on.. you were the one that looked after you niece when she was young and you made that cake for her???? @Captain24

Or am I getting all mixed up?

I never connected that your bro had children.

Re: I can’t cope

Yeah @tyme. I looked after her. Spoilt her at birthdays and christmases. We made special birthday cakes for her every year. Then her mother moved away and after time, I was forgotten. I don’t even get a text from her for Christmas or Easter. She wouldn’t even know when my birthday is.

My dad sent her a text msg once and asked her to msg her nan (meaning mum) for her birthday. Dad got back ‘who is this’

She is just like her father.
