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

Ohhhhh! Things are connecting now! So this person your brother is with now, is not your niece's mum? And they are getting a new dog? @Captain24

Sorry if I haven't got it right.

In my head, I'm picturing your brother is some young 'kid' with a girlfriend and they are getting a dog. Is your niece the only kid he has?

Re: I can’t cope

That’s it. @tyme

My brother and his new girlfriend are getting a dog.

My niece is mums only grandchild.

I feel guilty for never giving her one

as the one she has doesn’t care.

Who do I leave everything to when I die?

Re: I can’t cope

I hear you are thinking about a lot of things. @Captain24 I have to think about that too because at this stage, I'm no longer keen to have my own children.

I wonder if your niece will come back into your life later?

Also, has the relationship between your bro and parents been repaired? I remember he was the golden child, but then something happened.

Re: I can’t cope

Yeah it’s kinda hard @tyme. Who will care if I ever get old? Hopefully you will have nieces and nephews,

She may come back. My door is always open. I’d never turn my back on her.

My brother is not the golden child so much anymore. Mum is upset that he doesn’t contact them. But since he msg’d about the dog he is great again. I’m just the mental case in the background that has to listen

Re: I can’t cope

You know what??? When I read your post, it sets a fire within me to prove them otherwise. @Captain24

Do it for yourself and prove yourself.

You have achieved sooo much already. Things WILL work out. I believe in you. Now you need to believe in yourself.

When people say or imply things like that, this feeling burns within me to prove them wrong. It's like i have this spark ignited.

This may be the beginning of great things.

Re: I can’t cope

It’s hard when you are constantly put down @tyme. But I do see that I have a nice home that I’m paying off. I sort of have my material life together in comparison to them. Which you need.

Also I am able to admit that I have MH problems. However, I am a much more thoughtful and considerate person than them.

Thats what helps when being around them gets too hard.
