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

@Captain24 it’s so hard to remain optimistic and when people tell me to be more positive I get infuriated. I’m just like I can’t think myself out of this shit. But you’ve definitely had a good start to the day 🙂

If only it was that east @creative_writer. The last work training day they did a section on positive and negative mindsets. Their insight was just stay in the positive and everything will be fine!

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 I think the pain has to be acknowledged too. I once had a lecturer who was against the term "positive thinking", only because it can be unhealthy too if it's not realistic and can become delusional.

Re: I can’t cope

Would love to @Bow but I’m really in a bad place and don’t want to upset anyone.

Thanks for the offer though.

Re: I can’t cope

So far it has been @Bow I actually feel ok.

I’ve been for a drive to the little villages around where I live this morning. Even though it’s raining again, it was good to get out.

I’ve just been to the GP and MH nurse. They have been discussing me and are both happy with my progress even though I have really bad moments. They are starting me on therapy for social anxiety and personality disorder. I don’t have to go back to the GP for 2 weeks unless I need to.

I see the psychiatrist either next week or the week after (she has been kept undated to) for medication review as the GP and nurse have been really concerned about me, until today. I think todays ok mood may have given them the wrong impression! Lol

So I’m just hoping that means a step forward.

Hope you day is going well?
