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 been raining buckets here too, we had some sunshine too, it was weird, and I was hoping on seeing a rainbow but had no luck sadly. I miss rainbows. The most random moment today was looking for a rainbow. You're probably thinking why is this crazy creative_writer obsessed with rainbows.

It's okay, human minds are often spiralling. I think it's in our nature. It's about try to do what we can to stop the spiralling, and sometimes its hard to stop it. But it's okay, we are all learning and sitting with emotions is okay too. I hope your shift goes well.

Re: I can’t cope

I sat around at the hospital all day doing nothing @Captain24 so I feel your anguish. I did wordle and played on my phone.

Re: I can’t cope

Hi @Eve7

Sorry I had to go out into the pit and there is no phone service.

I got home ok just had to take a couple of different roads as some where flooded. But there is another 40-60mils coming today. Plus there is a major dam upstream that is at 96% and when it reaches capacity it will flow over the wall causing more flooding.

In 12.5 hrs I drove a truck for 10 mins so it was a really long hard night. I feel your pain sitting in ED! Hope you are ok?

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 I hope today is easier for you. There was a lot of rain around here too and lots of other parts of Australia. It’s cold again and I don’t want to leave my warm safe bed today but I’m starving. Oatmeal can’t cook itself.

Re: I can’t cope

I am not ok. I didn’t sleep well, the rain kept waking me up.

I worried about driving to work. I’m worried about sitting around all night but at the same time I’m scared I’ll be put in a truck and have to drive in the wet. Nothing can please me.

I feel like I’m being so difficult, that nothing I do or anyone else does is right. I can’t be happy with anything.

Re: I can’t cope

Not sure what words to offer as support to you right now @Captain24 but sure hope that you are safe enough to go to work? Can you call in sick if you feel like you are too much of a risk?

Re: I can’t cope

Hey @Captain24 so sorry to hear you're in a rough spot at the moment. Agree w @Bow about maybe calling in sick?

And like... try to remind yourself that when you haven't slept, your brain is gonna have a much harder time at everything - including making decisions, and trying to reassure or comfort yourself. Like it doesn't surprise me that you feel like nothing feels right! Sleepy brain = cranky brain for me and means that I will go through my whole day just feeling off, feeling ick. But that's not a reflection of you! It's a reflection of the whacky nature of being human.

Here with ya, if you wanna chat 💜
